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.

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.

To be blunt, this game did not live up to my expectations. The graphics are well below par. There are not very many options to choose from throughout the game. And, most importantly, it isn't very much fun. Try again Sega.

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.

Good fun

Good fun for playing with friends, but the graphics are not as good as in SmashCourtTournament.

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!

When I first poped in this rental, I was completely amazed with the graphics and gameplay. Everything seems so real. THe characters blink and their eyes move and even their mouths too. The game is fun and challenging. I love the doubles matches THere is also a world tour mode too, meaning you can create two characters to battle it out in the real world. Its way fun if you have a sibbling around.

But I think there are a couple of flaws. Where is Pete Samphras, Andre Aggasi?

Pretty Good

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.
