For play station fans, and to this I agree, the most common idea of a pumped-up adrenaline rush is racing or
action story videos. Who wouldn’t be caught up with the fad after we’ve outgrown the SuperMario Brothers? There’s so much fantasy and realistic spiels that you’ll even crack cheat codes just so you’ll play better and win.
But if there’s one thing I didn’t dare to unravel, next to Da Vinci Code, it is Tennis 2k2. Watching Steffi Graff in a few court slams was the closest thing I got to tennis. Well, it obviously changed after I played this PS2 game. I found just the right challenge for me to win and lose at the same time.
It may be a lousy game for some but believe me, when I started to play, I felt so frustrated that I promised myself one thing: I’ll get my virtual opponent the next time and smash the ball into his face! Unlike in basketball or football, you’ll be able to control the environment in a one-on-one duel. After playing for
different tournaments, you’ll learn how to use speed and power instinctively. Later on, you’ll play by intuition and be able to calculate every swing. That’s were energy’s flowing.
With every opponent toppled down and tournament conquered, I’ve somehow figured how to counter and anticipate players’ moves. I even found it more interactive and real than NBA Live. I just wish they’ll come up with a new game series with tougher plays and strategies. I’m definitely a Tennis 2k2 junkie!
For $15 they promise to load you up with a virtual sports game. Sports is good, and it's a must for a dynamic executive like me. And if you can't go outdoors, you can do it with a PDA. But who will be proud to have jelly boy in his game? It's so lame.
