Virtua Tennis 3 (PS3)

Being used as one of the launch titles for the PS3 and being produced by Sega, Virtua Tennis 3 was always going to sell well and get crave reviews, but has the game itself evolved enough to stay up there with the overhaul of new games already destined for the PS3? Plainly the answer lies whether or not you are a tennis fan or not as we shall see below. Its predecessors before it, Virtua Tennis 2 (PS2) and Virtua Tennis World Tour (PSP) have always been considered as dominating the 'tennis market' for gamers on Sony's machine, so it was no wonder that this game itself has been hyped up. Graphically in the majority of areas, Virtua Tennis 3 lives up to that ...  Read the complete review

Virtua Tennis 3 is the latest of a long list of tennis games realised on various games consoles and it is a good game. The playstation 3 version which I own is very similar to the previous release on the playstation 2.

The following male players are on the game: Mario Ancic (CRO) James Blake (USA) Taylor Dent (USA) Roger Federer ...  Read the complete review

Virtua tennis and top spin tennis are the main competitors in the tennis gaming market. And for the playstation 3 virtua tennis came out first and me really wanting a tennis game i bought it.

With Wimbledon currently on at this time of year i thought i would take a minute to write about Virtua Tennis. Virtua Tennis is a brilliant, very addictive game. Albeit there is no offline play the competitive nature of the two player game or even the career mode can make you a bad loser. It is certainly very sophisticated and this can be seen when hittin certain shots, and the better more skillful player you are, the results are shown. There are basic shots that can be used ie topspin, slice and lob, but together mixed with rallies, certain positions you may find yourself in and the competitive feel may become the hardest shots to play. You will soon discover ...  Read the complete review
