Best Tennis Game Ever!

Sega turned another one of its great Dreamcast sports games into an even better PS2 game. This game is pretty much the same as the Dreamacst version, but still a whole lot of fun. This game has not only 8 men but also has 8 women players. The players include Patrick Rafter, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Tommy Haas, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Lindsay Davenport and Monica Seles.

The gameplay is amazing. There are 3 buttons you use. One is for a lob shot, one is for a smash shot and the other is just a regular old shot. You really only need to use two buttons (the joystick and the A button).

The graphics are way better than 2000's Virtua Tennis (for the Dreamcast) and are even better than most of the other 2K2 games. Each player resembles it's real-life counterpart very well and any tennis fan can pick them out. The graphics are so realistic that their clothes and shoes look exactly like what they do in real-life. The courts are also very realistic and their are more than a dozen more different courts.

There are 3 modes: World Tour, Exhibition and Tournament. In World Tour you pick a player and participate in a variety of singles and doubles matches as well as many fun bonus games like in Virtua Tennis. You earn money when you win or do good in the bonuses to use to buy more equipment or courts. In Exhibition you just pick two players and serve away in just one match. In tournament mode you pick one player and face off against the rest of the men or women and player in a series of games until you either win the championship or lose.

Some more cool things are that you can actually understand the PA announcer and when you hit a ball into the net the ball boys run out and retrieve the balls. Also when you hit a ball out of the court near the wall the people standing there will avoid the balls by moving out of the way instead of standing like statues.

Also the players are every detailed. Monica Seles grunts when she hits the ball and after you win your player has a big smile and after you lose they look very mad and disappointed and are ready to throw their rackets.

The only things missing are some of the players like Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Martina Hingis and Jennifer Capriti.

This game is a must-have for any owner of a PS2 who is a tennis fan.

When it comes to tennis games for any system, there are less than a handfull of games out there. Tennis 2k2 is by far the best of the best when it comes to tennis games. The arcade game, Virtua Tennis, is an exceptional game. Tennis 2k2 improves on the other version for the Dreamcast. The PS2 version has improved graphics, cleaner play, and better sounds. The three gameplay modes, exibition, tounrament, and the most invovling of the the three, world tour, are great parts of the game. There are also mini games you can play to improve your skills. Tennis 2k2 is a must bye for all tennis fans.

SOLID,SOLID,SOLID, a true 10 outta 10 game!!!!

this is an AWESOME GAME!, i can't begin to explain how wonderful this game is. i had the namco version of tennis called SmashCourt Pro Tennis, it was a solid game, but to compare the two is something different. Sega is in a class all by themselves. they have the greatest sports games!, Well EAgames is pretty darn close.

i was in EB about two days ago and this little kid was playing the game off the demo machine and i did a double take, i said darn that game is tight! so i watched the kid play and i said this game has awesome sound, graphics(for PS2),camera angles, and facial detail of the players. most of all this game had the Williams sisters in it, which SCPT didn't have, plus they only had one camera angle.

so after work i went home to get SmashCourt and trade it in for Sega's action. i'll never regret it.

sorry Namco, it is time to hang up SmashCourt because Sega Sports Tennis has no competition!

so go out today and BUY, not rent, or borrow from a friend, but BUY SST, ya won't regret it one bit!

This is Sega Tennis right?

Sega's Tennis is the PS2 conversion of the Dreamcast instant classic Tennis 2K2, and I expected it to be a lot better than this, not to mention I wonder why this game wasn't polished enough before it got released. First off what happened to the graphics? The silky smooth slick graphics from Tennis 2K2 have been reduced to jagged edges on the players, weird shimmering on the courts, and overall poor texture quality which is just puzzling consider this is the PS2 we're talking about. But wait, I'm not done yet, the A.I. controlled doubles partners are beyond bad and constantly make mistakes making you have to scramble on a regular basis. Fortunately though, there is enough good qualities here to warrant a rental at least. The electrifying gameplay and extremely tight dead on control remain intact from the original, and despite the graphics the game is still undeniably fun, which was the heart of Sega's Tennis series, that even if you don't like tennis, you'll love the addicting video game. However, if you own a Dreamcast and Tennis 2K2, stick to it because that is the better version. But if you don't and you own a PS2, this is a decent pick up.

I cannot get this game to load

I have tried two copies now and my PS2 cannot detect the game is even in the system. All my other games work fine but this one is 0/2! I am disappointed b/c I have been waiting for the PS2 version of this game for several months now. Both cd's failed to load.....all they did was make horrible scrubbing noises when the game was inside the system. I thought it was my system but every other game I own work properly. I have no idea what is wrong unless these games have a loading glitch. This is my first time to try any PS2 game made by Sega, it may be my last.

Great Game

When I first played Virtua tennis in the arcade. I was thinking to myself that I wish sega would make this game for the PS2 because it was excellent. Then a few weeks later my wish came true and I heard that Sega was developing a tennis game for PS2. The day it came out I went down to the store and got it.

The One player mode in SST provides a great amount of fun. You create your own players (a man and a women) and you train them to go play in tournaments. The players level up like in final fantasy. The training consists of mini-games that train your serve, volley, strokes and footwork. The only problem with this one player mode is that in the beggining your players are awful at hitting the ball (probally like us in real life). But once you level them up it is great fun.

In terms of graphics they are good compared to anything the dreamcast could ever do. But Sega probally didn't use all of the pS2's availbable powere though because after a point the the courts and players look all grainy and it looks like something from a nintendo 64 but the in game graphics are really good

The control in SST must be one of the best ever for a tennis game. It isn't to senstive but not to sluggish, it is very responsive and you can basically place the ball wherever u like. And the people move just like in real life.

The multiplayer is great in this game. It can use a multi- tap adapter and you an play with four players. So u can have a Sega Sports Tennis party if u like. The only problem with it is that I can't seem to find anyone who is a challlenge for me.

When you sum up all of this games aspects up, you get one of the best tennis games ever made, far surpassing any of its competitors such as Mario Tennis and Smash- Court Tennis. It is definetly worth the money. SO GO AND BUY IT!

My Ratings out of five:

Fun Factor- 4.5
Graphics - 4.0
Gameplay - 5.0
Control - 5.0

Rock On!

Sorry, seems like I'm not the first person to get a bad copy of this game. All it does is make funny scratching noises when inserted into my PS2 unit. All other games I have ever tried work fine.
