Having gone through a phase of being a massive tennis fan, i decided that i wanted to spend a bit of money on a computer game that was enjoyable as real tennis- and luckily this didn't dissapoint! Virtua Tennis 2 is the kind of game that you can sit and play for hours on end and forget what time it is, or how long you have been playing for. The career mode is highly enjoyable, taking a small player to the top of the world- but it won't be easy! You will really get stuck into the game, cheering your player on and shouting at the linesman for calls which you know are in, but cannot bear to lose the point! The training modes can also be incredibly difficult, for example, having to destroy a moving tank with some very accurate and powerful groundstrokes, whilst also avoiding the missiles it fires at you! Another great thing about this game is the fact that you can go straight into a match, as the controls are very easy to pick up. Multiplayer is personally my favourite though, as you can beat your mates and get some spectacular rallies going, and telling your doubles partner exactly where to go. Some people may feel that the graphics are a bit dated, but i feel the bright colours add to the feel of the game, as this is essentially an arcade game. Unfortunately, there are only around 18 characters to choose from, but you will be able to play as Tiger Tim Henman! The sound is a major let down though, and sometimes i have to put it on mute and some background music! Sometimes it can also be a bit repetitive, but worth the money, if just for multiplayer alone! I bought this game about a year ago for £15 second hand.
