    Fast, fluid and thoroughly absorbing, Virtua Tennis World Tour is not only as essential a purchase as "Lumines," "WipEout," "Ridge Racers" and Co., it’s a reason to buy the PSP itself.

    The perfect game for the PSP. The mini-games make it a good option if you’ve only got three or four minutes, and the World Tour is deep enough that you can spend an hour with it – never feeling limited by the fact that you’re playing a handheld game.

    Packs everything fans of the series could want in a portable package. It's fast, fun and thoroughly engrossing. Plus, the inclusion of well-designed mini-games pushes World Tour's intrinsic level of addition to new heights.

    It's "Pong" on steroids, with lifelike graphics, technically deep controls, and awesome sound effects - I love hearing my player's feed shuffle on the court and that satisfying thwop of a well-hit ball. [Nov 2005, p.154]

    I havent yet got this title but after borrowing it off a m8 it was a must have. i agree that the range of players is low but the gameplay can never get old the same way that every year loads of people go out and buy fifa even though all the have changed is players haircuts and the odd transfer.… Expand

    Ok the gameplay and graphics are excellent the problem is the controls are faulty and the world tour mode gets boring very fast.
