Virtua Athlete 2K, known as Virtua Athlete 2000 in North America, is a Sega Dreamcast track and field sports game developed by Hit Maker and released in Japan on July 27, 2000 and in North America on September 13, 2000. Virtua Athlete 2K supports up to four local players simultaneously as you compete for the top score through all seven of its events. The game was combined with other Sega track and field games and was released on the PlayStation 2 in Japan as DecAthlete Collection. It was included along with DecAthlete and Winter Heat in volume 15 of the Sega Ages series.
An IGN review published following the game’s release in North America read, “Best described as an interactive movie about the Olympics, Virtua Athlete is as basic a game as you can get […] It’s just too bad that the game play doesn’t match their respective graphical accomplishment.”
