"From the very first seconds"
Trading shots at a frantic pace, rushing the net and finishing with a decisive smash: the clear handling hides a remarkable simulation accuracy. The career mode, with its zany training drills, extends the fun well beyond the simple match. With four players, the atmosphere ignites. Snappy, elegant and addictive, an arcade tennis built for partying.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
NTSC Rev A of Tennis 2K2 is the corrected US version of the Visual Concepts/Sega Sports simulator. Collector value comes from the scarcity of the official Sega Sports tennis segment on Dreamcast and from the modest print typical of this kind of simulation at the end of the cycle.
Better with friends
Tennis more measured and realistic than the super-charged cabinets, betting on positioning and point construction for four. The competition rewards patience and reading angles over pure reflex, which pleasantly shifts the pace of evenings. In doubles especially, partner coordination becomes a tactical joy, punctuated by long rallies and nerve-wracking match points.
Is Tennis 2K2 still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel to the Hitmaker classic, Power Smash 2 adds female players, expands the World Circuit and improves the readability of defensive shots. The training mini games gain variety and the gameplay stays crystal clear. On Dreamcast this is the formula at its peak for the machine. For fans of demanding yet accessible arcade tennis, the title remains entirely recommendable today, especially in two player matches where tactics really start to come into play between friends.
