I'm not even into tennis, but I have played several different tennis games (both on PS and PS2). Sega Sport Tennis outplays the other games without hesitation. The play is so much smoother, faster and EXTREMELY EASY. You don't have to be a tennis pro to play this game!! I love to play the pro tour mode... and go through all the training and matches to see my player move up in the ranks. Everyone I have ever talked to who has played this game, including me, has become horribly addicted to it. You sit down to play a few minutes and realize that several hours have flown by!!! It truly is a fun game to play by yourself or with another!!:)

FANTASTIC - Loads of fun!!

I've been playing a friend's copy of Sega Sports Tennis and just ordered it for myself. I have purchased Sega Sports Tennis and also Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament, by Namco, both for Playstation 2. Sega Sports was released in July 2002, while Smash Court was released on March 2002. Sega is MUCH more fun than Smash Court. The graphics are VERY good and the play is, albeit slightly less realistic, much more practical for using computer controls...with Smash Court if you're not at the right place at the right time, you miss the ball (hard to see 3D in real life, impossible on a TV set - Namco: it's a game, make it fun! Sega: Good job!).
Believe it or not, this game has helped my game in Real life, allowing me to be more aware of all players' positions in the court.
You can create your own character(s) - one male, one female - train them and battle it out with the others.

Good fun

It's the best, alright. But its competition is...well, none existent, really.

What I liked about the game was its attention to detail. Unlike other tennis title, your character actually developes in skill. At first, your ground strokes and serves are pathetically slow. Fortunately, so is the footwork of your opponents. There are alot of training games you can play (it's more of a mini-game) to improve our skills. Want to have a blazing serve? Then 'train' in either the serve bowling game or the shoot for prize game.

There are 2 training games for each skills, which include: groundstrokes, volleys, footwork, and serve. Those 4 sets of skills are also divided into individual sub-skill sets. For example, on your serve, you have power and control skills sets. And for your ground strokes, you have power, control, and angel, all divided into left and right hand groups.

You gain rank by playing and beating your opponent. At first, there won't be much tournaments you'll be able to attend to due to your low ranking. Soon, however, after much training, you'll be able to attend the top tournaments, such as Wimbeldon and U.S. Open.

Now the dislikes...you don't improve your skill by playing matches. Training in those mini games is mandatory, instead of something to pass time on. I'd also loved to have a realistic partner training to improve your skills. Also, as with every other tennis game I played...the service is a joke. I have nearly maxed out my service yet I have only scored a couple aces. Serve a power service going 120mph, and your opponent not only returns it with ease, they'll return it with such pace and angle, you're left playing catch up the whole point. It also goes the same for your opponents service. The only time they get aces is when I pretty much let them.

Also, due to the lack of skill improvement by playing actual matches, attaining the top 10 rank will take too much time. It took me over 10 years to attain that rank!

Hopefully sega will release a new version in the near future that addresses many of the finer points.

the best tennis game ever

sega sports really hit an ace this time. not only is the game fun, but it's really difficult to beat. it's not one of those lame games where you go through and beat the game in a matter of an hour or two. this game took me a month to beat it. the game is tricky, if you turn it on to the hard or very hard levels, your definitely in for a excellent match. this game is probally the most fun multplayer game i've ever played. you actually get nervous like your playing in a real tennis match and the intensity of the game is great. it actually takes some skill to beat the game so you better develop it by playing many hours a day. if you really want a good game, get sega sports TENNIS!!!!!

Pretty good Tennis Game.

You have a selection of 8 Top Men Pros and 8 Top Women pros to choose from, and two secret characters that you can unlock after beating the game on the normal mode or above without losing a game. Although I am dissappointed that this is another arcade simulation like Virtua Tennis was for the DreamCast, and there is no real Tournaments, or GrandSlams or Tour Mode, the game is very good.

You can create your own player. And play a "Tour" to increase your players attributes. The game is very colorful, the control is easy, the game is fast paced, the graphics are very good, but most of all there is tons of animations and moves to the players. Aggressive moves, defensive moves, etc. The movements of the player are very realistic!

Although is is another Arcade Tennis game, I would buy this game, because it is really fun to play, especially going one on one with a friend in singles or Double mode.

I love it

I like it a lot. I like doing world tour mode (highest ranking 25 but then i had to take the game back). All the players look good and the venues look good. But i don't understand in tournament mode why you have to go to like 4 different places ( like i wish u could pick a tournment to enter like Wimbeldon and play all the rounds)and i wish u could play for the different cups. I just wonder where was Pete, and Andre. (fastest serve i hit 121mph with Venus)
