Climax Tennis: WTA Tour Edition
A crappy tennis game, which is worth missing the climax.

Climax Tennis: WTA Tour Edition (also known as WTA Tour Tennis: Pro Evolution for the GameCube and Xbox, in North America as WTA Tour Tennis and in Europe as Pro Tennis: WTA Tour) is a tennis game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and published by Konami. It was released in early 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and ported later that year to GameCube and Xbox.

Why It Loses The Match

1. It has little to no creativity from other tennis games.
2. No male players, since it only features female players that represent the WTA Tour.
3. The controls are very sluggish. Even the Mario Tennis games and the Virtua Tennis games have no problem with them.
4. The graphics, including the player models, are weak.
5. The announcing and voice acting are horrible.
6. No mini-games.
7. Even if you beat the Tour mode, there is nothing to unlock.

The Only Redeeming Quality

1. While allowing female athletes to star in their own game could be cool, Konami would adopt the concept for its wrestling game Rumble Roses, which was released nearly 3 years later.

Reception

Climax Tennis: WTA Tour Edition received mixed-to-negative reviews from the critics. On Metacritic, it has scores of 50 and 55 for PlayStation 2 and GameCube, respectively.
