This is a surprisingly addictive game but needs more players rather than the same ones just getting harder. worth a look for a bit of fun
A great game if ur a fan of tennis or any of the previous virtua tennis series. It has an arcade feel to it compared to the simulation of topspin 2 and 3. The animations and movements are very good, and the characters actually have the same motions like their real life counterparts. The world tour season mode is very good and can keep you playing for days and days to be world no.1.
Good points: Its Virtua Tennis. Bad points: They spoilt the 10 pin bowling mini-game. Its probably my only complaint. Whereas before the game would wait until the pins stop falling, now theres a time limit so if the last pin is going down it times out and acts as if it hadn't fallen at all. VERY frustrating. It may seem harsh to mark it down so much due to 1 flaw but downgrading a game compared to its previous version in any way is just plain stupid. It being one of the most fun mini-games it really does spoil the overall polish of the game. That and the way there are crowd cheers in the mini-game where there IS no crowd, and crowd cheers before the crowd even start moving (which still looks like poo incidentally). Basically, for a next-gen game its not as polished as it should have been probably due to being ported to older consoles as well so didnt get the next-gen treatment it deserved. Still mostly better than the old Virtua Tennis but not as good as it could have been.
