Virtua Tennis was arguably the first tennis game to really make the series any popular - prior to this, there were a few overly serious tennis games that never really made an impact on the PS1, but Virtua Tennis fully exploited its arcade-style aesthetic to give the game a real sense of fun, and a sense that has transpired over into numerous ...  Read the complete review

To help me with this review, I've enlisted the aid of commentator Dan Maskull. (Not), with his dulcet tones to provide the match commentary. 'It's a glorious sunny afternoon, here at the Old England championships, and the players are just coming out on centre court. And here he is, stepping out to tumultuous applause, the crowds ...  Read the complete review

SEGA are one of the worlds leading games companies - no doubt about it. Their leading game character, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been a major influence all around the world and sold over 100 million units last century. So what other commerce can SEGA break into? They tried with tennis, and I ...  Read the complete review

Virtua Tennis in my opinion is one of the best games available on the Dreamcast and should definitely be in your collection. The game is almost a year old now, and still it remains as one of the most graphically impressive games around, with superb gameplay and player movements. It's as realistic as they get and you will not be disappointed ...  Read the complete review

Virtual Tennis is a great game and one that I really enjoy playing, although I reckon it could be improved. This game is full of games and training methods that you can play and you can play them at different levels of difficulty. There is an Arcade modem where you compete in 5 stages to win the championship, but it is a tournament and ...  Read the complete review

Virtua Tennis is an excellent sports game, on the Sega Dreamcast, fresh from the arcades to your console, last year. It may be over a year old, and the sequel due out soon, but the fact is Virtua Tennis is one of the most playable, addictive and downright fun games available now. From that, you can probably tell that I like it then. Sega Sports ...  Read the complete review

As a big fan of the arcade version of Virtua Tennis, I guess you could say that my expectations were unjustly high for a game being released on a home system. However, I was more than happy when I got my copy home and turned on my small white box. Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast is an absolute delight. The term "arcade-perfect ...  Read the complete review

We got this game in our house of three lads cause we're into getting in from the pub after a few beers and having a few games of something easy to dip into. The first few games were highly impressive - the graphics rocked, the controls were easy to get into, and Jim Courier had a humourously coloured shirt - the lack of opportunity to ...  Read the complete review

anyone for strawberries and cream? It's long been a pet niggle of mine that tennis games are so often crap. Afterall, is there any other sport so ideally suited to a video game? It's fast, simple and tests both reaction and accuracy. Indeed, was Pong, generally accepted as the first true video game, not a spin on the bat and ball ...  Read the complete review

It may not seem like the most likely sport for a winning console game, but Tennis games have been around in one form or another since the first days of computing, with Pong. Virtua Tennis takes up the mantle of the latest and the greatest tennis game to arrive on a console so far, it has all the ingredients of a classic game, and then some. ...  Read the complete review

After playing this in an arcade on holiday I was extremely impressed and my first thought was will there be an arcade conversion for the Dreamcast, I didn’t own a Dreamcast at the time so I bought one along with Virtua Tennis on it’s DC release. The impressive line-up of licensed players are Tim Henman, Thomas Johansson, ...  Read the complete review
