Virtua Tennis hasn't changed much since 1999 and is still the leader of its genre. Whoever likes arcade sports games should consider getting this game.

Cynamite

They took a long time for the development of Virtua Tennis 2009. Why? There’s actually nothing new around.

GameStar

Two friends, two game pads and Virtua Tennis 2009 and you'll have ten minutes of maximum multi-player fun. But the career mode is boring, because it’s too easy for far too long and the game suffers from a sloppy conversion. It's a great multi-player game, but could have been much more.

PC Format

There aint no one-more-go mentality lurking in this one. [Oct 2009, p.99]

PC Gamer UK

It's best for occasional two-player knockabouts...but anyone wanting serious solo action or a lasting challenge will be disappointed. [Sept 2009, p.89]

Cheat Code Central

Truly, Virtua Tennis 2009 is little more than a lazily rehashed and less than polished iteration of what was offered in Virtua Tennis 3.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Put modest tendency to realism together with some new mini-games and you get a shiny new game. Or don’t you? New tennis sim is slightly above average – but only for those with quite powerful hardware. [July 2009]

PC Zone UK

A disappointing and flat experience that's only really any fun when played with a friend, who may make an occasional error. [Nov 2009, p.75]

Pierre D. gave it a2:
Incredible boring. Single player is a joke. I miss the old arcade style.

Dorin B. gave it a5:
Very well, I don't know what's new in this game. The gameplay is exactly the same, the career is very boring, and the games aren't so funny like in the third. After all i will play the third, because i like it more.
