Virtua Tennis 3

Kopite33 from from Bristol, 16th September, 2007

Incredibly realistic graphics and great fun, plus there is a large selction a fun mini-games. A big down-side is that career mode is incredibly easy and i reached rank 2 in the world in less than a week - only losing one match in the process. I was looking forward to finally having a game with online play but upon loading the game discovered that online play was not included. If you are a tennis fun then this game is worth renting.

Big Dissapointment

Patrick from Cardiff, Wales, 19th April, 2007

I was pleasantly surprised when i first played this game. The graphics are superb, the characters are extremely life like and the gameplay is excellent and very easy to get to grips with. However, i would not recommend that you buy this game as it is ridiculously easy. I played it for a total of about 8 hours in career mode and i did not lose a match. I went from a ranking of 300 to 4 and won every tournament i entered, including a grand slam in my 3rd years as a pro, without even dropping a single game. I thought that network play might just be a saving grace but was left dissapointed again when i found out that it was not available for this game. All in all, a very big let-down.

Pretty, Pretty Boring

jules213 from from London, 4th January, 2008

Um, how pointless. It's like playing pong but in 3d. limited shots, you win by maing the opponent go in the opposite direction and that's about it. Lasted about 30 minutes. Plus, i'm not great at games and i succeded in all training things and won all my games. Hmm. Spare yourself the anticipation of this arriving and being worth the wait.

TERRIBLE!......

A Customer from Witham, 19th December, 2008

OK, so the the graphics are v.good and motion of the players is fast and fluid - but the music makes you feel like Mario after too many mushrooms (it's way to hyper!). The game menu if half-hearted in a typical Japanese Arcade style and you would have thought they would have done more on this format. Sent it back the same day! If you are nuts about tennis (evidently I'm not), buy yourself a Wii and get Wii sports much more fun, less serious.

Good game

A Customer from Devon, 19th November, 2008

This is a really good game but the only problem is it is way too easy. I started this game 6 days agao and completed the whole game yesterday. Bearing in mind I only play an hour to 2 hours maximum at a time. I am so pleased I did not buy this game as its too easy and would have been a waste of money. Brilliant game though and enjoyed it so you are better off renting it!

Nice Little Game

wychwoo from from Chipping Norton, 16th October, 2008

This is a really enjoyable game. It maybe a little old now but the graphics dont look out of place on the ps3. The gameplay is very enjoyable if at times a little easy. Its a good game to have around if you are looking for something to do for 30mins because its easy to play a few game in world tour mode and then leave it. I would recommend that play give this game a go if you've not played it before.
