"It was always going to be tough to follow-up Golf Story in an interesting manner, and one certainly can’t say there was a lack of ambition in what Sidebar Games was trying to achieve in Sports Story. However, fulfilling that …"

"Even if Sports Story was polished and bug-free, it would still fall strikingly short of the first title in the series. The new sports don’t play well, the fetch quests are tiresome, and the story is tedious and less charming …"

"Though golfing remains a highlight, Sports Story overloads its charming and intriguing premise with unrewarding side activities and boring fetch quests."

"Sports Story doesn&s;t hit the heights of its predecessor, overstuffed with new ideas and sports that probably should have been left on the cutting-room floor. There&s;s still plenty here to enjoy, both golf and tennis fans will find something to …"
