    Best tennis simulator around. Im personally not a fan of the sport tennis but I love this game! It looks gorgeous and it plays gorgeous. Theres a lengthy world tour career mode to sink ur teeth into it as well as competitive online multiplayer. I have no complaints, 10/10.

    Once you've figured out the nuances of the game and how to utilize your concentration gauge during game play, this game is a lot of fun and addictive. The World Tour mode is competitive and allows you to build up your player ratings through training sessions, mini games and matches. Of course, you ultimately build up to play in the major tournaments, but it keeps you very engaged. I really like this game.… Expand

    Tough Virtua Tennis 4 in PSVita didn't change much from the PS3 or XBOX360 version in the mode, it's still a nice game worth playing. The graphic of characters looks gorgeous and more clear and sharp than other versions. Gameplay is nice and fun. You can pick up your Vita while you feel bored and quickly match a tennis game. Don't hesitate whether to buy this game or not now, go to buy it and enjoy your show.… Expand

    Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition for Vita really took me by surprise following an impulse buy a few weeks back. If I'm absolutely honest, I hadn't any real interest in playing playing the game, much less buying it. However, I happened to spot a brand new copy (not pre-owned) in my local GAME store for just £5.99 so I grabbed it there and then. Now that's a bargain in anyone's book, but it's particularly attractive when there's a pre-owned copy sitting right next to it on the shelf for £24.99. I know right?!! Once I popped the tiny cartridge in and fired my Vita up, I was immediately greeted with some truly stunning graphics and bucket loads of sheer quality. Better yet, the gameplay turned out to be even better, serving (sorry, couldn't resist) up some utterly enthralling and super addictive tennis in the process. It was a full three hours later before I put my Vita down, and I still couldn't wait to get back onto centre court to take on the likes of Messrs Federer, Nadal and Murray once again. And I strongly recommend that you do the same. If you like tennis games and/or sports sims, Virtua Tennis 4 is an utterly essential addition to your Vita library. Hunt yourself down a bargain, and enjoy.… Expand

    Takes me back to the Dreamcast days of Virtua Tennis with the added bonus of online play a more in depth career mode in World Tour and Double's tennis online which isn't even available (2v2 4 different players 4 different systems) on the 360/PS3 with Top Spin or Grand Slam Tennis. The easiest 10 I've had to give for a bit of nostalgia but also because the game runs flawlessly on the vita system makes you think what EA have done... with Madden and FIFA was a total joke in comparison real effort was made here for the vita! it's a must buy especially at the price it's going for now. Also supports party chat while in game so nothing to worry about there either.… Expand

    The PlayStation Vita-variant is an emulation of the original Virtua Tennis. That means that it doesn't surprise, is once again packed with mini games and comes with a relatively expansive career mode. It even works better on a handheld. Virtua Tennis 4 is a decent launch game.

    A very nice and varied arcade-style tennis game. Nothing earth-shattering here, though. [Apr 2012]

    Virtua Tennis 4 lacks the much needed depth for a tennis game that's mainly going to be played alone. Still, it feels quite OK and will entertain tennis fans until EA och 2K Sports decides to release their tennis franchises on the PS Vita.
