Virtua Tennis 2 is a sports simulation video game for the PlayStation 2, serving as the sequel to the original Virtua Tennis. Released in 2001, it features enhanced graphics and a broader roster of characters, including notable female players like Venus Williams and Serena Williams. The game retains various modes, such as tournament, exhibition, and global tour, allowing player customization and character progression. The gameplay emphasizes faster action and strategic shot selection.
The sequel to the game was launched two years before the first installment.
The game’s aesthetics have been upgraded, and a more extensive cast of characters is now available for selection. The most significant change is the participation of female players, including Venus Williams, Serena Williams, and Monica Seles. However, you are not permitted to compete as a male versus a female.
The action happens much more quickly than in the first game. Both the players you control and the AI computer players rush. Reduce the number of times you dive and focus more on getting shots that travel behind and over your shoulder.
The original game’s game types have been carried over, including the tournament mode, in which players compete against other professionals; the exhibition mode, in which players compete against one another in a best-of-three match; and the global tour mode, in which players now have the option of designing and customizing their player. You should level up your character, equip yourself, and look into hiring some professionals to play doubles with you.
