   If u had the last installment, then u may as well buy that again and have two copies. There is such minimal changes to the game. The one thing I was excited about, Online play, was so laggy its practically unplayable. The other player appears on the other side of the court just as the ball is hit. And yes I have a fast ADSL connection. I still gave the game a 7 because it still is a good game, like the last one. So if u never played the other installments it really is worth buying. I will try out the online a few more times because I might have been playing people with slow connections in other countries ? If that is the case, they should be banned (lol).… Expand

   This could have been a great game, as I'm a huge fan of VT3 and have been dying for online play. Unfortunately, this has to be one of the glitchiest games I've ever played. From minor stuff to major stuff, like a well known glitch messing up your character save file after putting hours and hours into your character. I'd advise to stay away until you read on message boards that Sega has fixed this gawd awful attempt at a videogame. Seriously, it's as if they let their Sonic team create a tennis game, that's how bad it is.… Expand

   Besides the roster, some courts, and other small changes this is literally the same game as Virtua Tennis 3. AND VT3 was the worst of the series imho.
   
   They seemingly tried to improve the game a bit. So you go from diving all over the place in VT3, to stumbling in VT2009. Also no longer do all top spin shots you hit at the net go long. Um..........there's new players.......and thats it.....
   
   The fact is that this series peaked with VT2 on the Dreamcast years ago. SEGA has not improved the immersion factor at all, the gameplay is exactly the same as VT3 (which was worse than VT2). They even recycled the music from VT3 (with was awful then and almost an insult now). Do not buy this game until it is $20 or less. Playing as Djokovic or Murray aint worth $50… Expand

   nothing new about the game really, gets boring, its too much of an arcade and doesnt allow much chance of perfecting game tecnique, its just a hit the button game, no skill required for it.
   its just like a game for time killing than really playing to enjoy.
   no improvements in the gameplay, i hate not to have a chance to hit the ball where i want to hit it, the ball might just go where the game wants it too.
   i have played games in JAVA that have better game play than this… Expand
