  • Summary: Virtua Tennis 4 with the PlayStation Move is more than just hitting the ball; it's about the angle of the racquet, the spin and speed of the ball and the power of the shot. The advanced motion sensors of PlayStation Move precisely track both the fast and subtle movements of the controller allowing for pinpoint accurate shots as players improve their racquet skills. Virtua Tennis 4 will also support 3D technology delivering unprecedented realism to the tennis experience, bringing you closer than ever to being out on the court.… Expand

    SEGA keeps the Virtua Tennis series alive with its 4th entry into mix, bringing along a bundle of upgrades and fresh game modes to keep us swinging away.

    Both Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4 are good games that have a lot to offer tennis fans. Part of me wishes there could be an amalgamation of the two, but as it stands I'll end with this: Top Spin 4 is a better game overall, but Virtua Tennis 4 would definitely be more fun to play for the casual fan. It's almost as if it's striving not to be taken seriously, what with the over-the-top mini-games and fancy dress events. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Absolutely not. Depending on what sort of experience you want, the choice is really up to you.

    Quick exhibition matches, both locally and online, as well as a few memorable minigames are enough for a quick fix. The odd career mode, however, is more frustrating than fun.

    I really enjoy this tennis game and its fun to play with others.. especially locally. Sure its not a true Tennis Simulation, but its the most fun tennis game I have played in a long time and well worth its budget price. I do not have Move so I have no idea on the motion gimic stuff, but I see no reason to own a PS Move yet.. motion gaming is just lame. Anyway, Virtua Tennis 4 is a very fun Tennis game… Expand

    Virtua Tennis 4 is dependable and reliable. You know exactly what your getting. Unfortunately for Virtua Tennis it's becoming a bit standstill and not really doing anything, its the same stuff except just a different number on the end of the title. As an arcade game it's always done what it has set out to do. Be fun and entertaining whilst maintaining the high standards that have made it the best tennis series around. Career Mode has been altered and freshened up but it isn't as addictive as previous outings and whilst the activities you play to improve yourself are always enjoyable you just feel that they are lacking in ideas certainly compared to TS4. For a simple exhibition with a friend Virtua Tennis is still great. And that's where it will always deliver. The one area where the game is arguably better than TS4 is its roster. Online is same old what you'd expect but thats not a bad thing! So the big question is Virtua Tennis stikk the number 1? Not a chance, this year that has changed. Top Spin 4 delivered the most authentic tennis outing to date and established itself as the grand slam champ and leaves Sega with work to do. If it's just an arcade fun approach your looking for then you won't go wrong but for real tennis fans all the appreciation will be shown towards 2K's offering this time around.… Expand

    Too arcade, gameplay lacks depth. Definitely the worst Virtua Tennis game to date. The best are the first two on Sega Dreamcast. Top Spin 4 is also a bad game (it tries so hard to be realistic, but it becomes a game of chance). So, this year's tennis games are really bad, we should stick to the old ones.… Expand
