Video Game Reviews of Tennis 2K2
Customer Review: Great sequel, but original still best
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved Virtua Tennis, so I was a little disappointed at first of 2k2. Once I got into this game, however, I started to really enjoy it. Play is faster than the original, and you can do some wicked cool (nasty to your opponents) net play that you couldn't do before. The create-a-character mode is a nice option, and you have to work to build up your player through the training in the world tour mode, which I thought was neat. The world tour is also an excellent upgrade from the first and more challenging, but on the downside you can only play your created character and not one of the pros. It's nice to see the women were added as well. 2k2 doesn't get a 5 because it doesn't have the arcade friendly play of the original, but this game is still very addicting.
Description of Tennis 2K2
Join your favorite professional players for the ultimate Dreamcast tennis experience. Endorsed by sisters Venus and Serena Williams, the game also features athletes like Jelena Dokic, Lindsay Davenport, Mary Pierce, and plenty of representatives of the men?s draw. TENNIS 2K2 is the sequel to the popular VIRTUA TENNIS, and you can bet that there are plenty of improvements to the popular game. New physics, updated graphics, and more pro players make this one even better than the original.Sega's Tennis 2K2 adds nearly every element fans of Virtua Tennis longed for upon its release. The game features eight female players, including the Williams sisters and Monica Seles, along with eight male players, including Patrick Rafter and Yevgeny Kafelnikov. As if that's not enough, you can create your own male and female players--selecting from a range of faces, hairstyles, heights, and weights--and train them to conquer the new World Tour mode.
The gameplay is slightly deeper than in the previous installment thanks to separate topspin and backspin buttons and a lob button to foil opponents who rush the net. You'll need all the tricks you can muster to beat the revamped AI opponents, who put up a fight even on the easiest difficulty setting. The amazing graphics engine from the original game has been tweaked to look even better, with smoother animations and more detailed players. Squint and you'll almost be fooled into thinking you're watching a TV broadcast. The fun minigames from the original are back and better than ever, but it's the depth of the World Tour mode that keeps us coming back for more, and that puts our copy of Virtua Tennis in permanent retirement. --T.
