The more you play the better it gets

User Rating: 8.2 | Virtua Tennis 2 PS2
Visual Concepts does it again!! Another solid sports game that has more than meets the eye initially. I was a huge fan of the original and this followed suite. The graphics are clean and crisp, the sounds are your average run of the mill tennis ball whacks and the music has a very arcade high tempo to it.

The selection of players is still a little limited and dated with Pat Rafter and Moya the only players someone would usually consider playing as. Handling is great and there is no better feeling than a wide angle forehand that stretches your opponent into an unrecoverable position. Amazing that the a game can get by using 1 third of the buttons on the controller.

The world tour mode extends the games life as you progress through various stages of development to enhance your created player. Everything from the water bottle you use to the strings in your racket shows the development since Virtua Tennis 1.

This game will last you for as long as your interested in it. Buy it from a bargain bin and you wont look back. Roll on Virtua Tennis 3!!
