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. Byrl Baker Pros: - Fluid animations and detailed graphics
- Separate topspin and backspin buttons for precision shots
- Create your own players and help them rise up the ranks
Cons: - Tough AI opponents mean you will lose a lot at first
- Doesn't allow women to face off against men

 Great sequel, but original still best November 23, 2004

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.
 The sisters are in it...what more can I say? January 15, 2004

This is the best tennis game I have ever played...wait its the only tennis game i've played! Why? Because I don't like tennis but TENNIS 2K2 is SO GOOD it drew me in! This game has KILLER GRAPHICS, SMOOTH ANIMATION and LOTS OF REPLAY VALUE! If you own a Dreamcast (best system that never made it) then do yourself a favor and get this, its THAT GOOD. Its easy to pick up and play and is fun with friends...get it now!
Great Game!! March 7, 2003

I love this game, there's a dissappointment only in the fact that you can't change shoes once a match have started. I play tennis myself and playing this game have somehow teached me some good movements. I would have liked other choices in Men, Agassi, Sampras....they've been for years champions all around the world and they should be in this game.
Anna Kournikova? March 1, 2003

Why should Anna Kournikova be on this game? She can't manage to win a real tournament so it wouldn't be right to have her win a fake one. Too bad Graf or Hingis isn't here though...maybe in place of Stevenson. And the other reviewer was correct, the men aren't very good choices. I enjoy Cedric Pioline, but unless you are a die-hard tennis fan (of French) you probably have no idea who he is (although he made both the Wimbledon and US Open finals in his career).
2K2 PLEASURE October 28, 2002

In my opinion, this is the best tennis game out there. The graphics are so realistic along with the players. The only thing I didn't like about this game was the fact that if you fail to win the last match, you've got to literally go through & rest for 51 weeks to get back to the match on the calendar. I thought that maybe there could have been a way to have done this. Other than that, I thought the game was great!
