  1. For gamers who found Virtua Tennis 2K2 a little too easy, or Mario tennis a little too silly. It's a serious and thoughtful tennis game with challenging AI and a host f options and features that bring the realism out.
  2. One place the game doesn’t come up short is in the graphics department.
  3. 65
    Making the game more difficult than it should be is the fact that the control system is sluggish at best, and just plain unresponsive at its worst.
  4. Yet another addition to the long line of awful tennis games for the PC.

    Great game, has kept me entertained for ages...and still is. The best tennis game ive played on the PC, just a shame that there is a lack of other game modes and real players. Still, its a must have for tennis fans and well worth buying for non tennis fans too. Expand

    Virtua Tennis came very close to being the best tennis sim for PC, this is because of the graphics and the AI of the players, and by graphics I mean that in Virtua Tennis, the movements of strokes and the way tennis players move are very smooth and accurate. Now if you could combine the best of both Virtua Tennis and Masters-Series, you would have tennis game with no competition, and that is what Microids needs to do for their 2004 version. I also agree with the inclusion of real players, tournaments, and the ability for players to edit the game (similar to EA's FIFA Series which have become succesfull due to their ability to be edited by adding new players, teams, leagues, kits, stadiums, tv channels, and even languages). Please, don't get my idea wrong, I love the game, but being a tennis player, I felt that there were gonna be more improvements on the 2003 version to make it more realistic and get the popularity it really deserves.
