This is a really arcadey tennis game. If you are a serious tennis player and want a simulation, stay away or get Top Spin 3. This games is the tennis game answer to an online MMO. Win a tennis tounement and move up one place in the rankings. The games are just not realistic. You can reach balls that should just smoke you. Points go on forever, especially in doubles. I will stick with Top Spin 3 even though I just bought Virua Tennis 2009. Boredom has set in. There was something special about Virtua Tennis 3, but this is just a bad rehash to me, even though another developer made this product. They did get rid of the dives, and that is a good thing. But too much is weak.

There is so much lag when playing online., that it’s not worth it. Sorry SEGA but this is a waste of money.

This year’s version plays better and more fun than Virtua Tennis 3. The new developer seems to have responded to some of the criticisms of the previous game and fixed some issues but I’d still consider Top Spin 3 a benchmark for the tennis games so far. VT 2009 is a bit more realistic overall than VT3 with those silly dives taken out and the positioning of the players relative to the ball greatly effect the quality of the shots like in real tennis. The general crowd atmosphere is a nice touch with the tension building up in the audience during long rallies. The individual player animations are a lot better than the prev edition but still not totally accurate(the forehand topspin swing of nadal for example). There are other significant shortcomings regardless of the improvements to the game. First of all for simplicity’s sake I guess, there are only only two types of main shots offered, slice and topspin. What happened to the flat shots that almost all of the tennis players use today? This is like trying to simulate a racing game but all the cars have a 4 cyclinder engine. Having those three basic shots modeled accurately in the game would increase the depth and variety greatly. Right now the game feels like you only hit the ball and run like crazy and that gets boring after a while. And there is no real life like passing or drop shots whatsoever! You can’t really spice up your game like in a real tennis match. I understand the developer’s instincts in trying to keep everything to a bare minimum in a game to appeal to everybody but that is still not an excuse to serve a half [...] baked tennis game. The overall presentation of the game is so so with a forgettable music and sound effects. The graphics are good but not great and a lot of the top ten players are still missing in the roster. The online play is fun but a bit laggy especially in doubles. This is basically still the same virtua tennis game from the dreamcast days with only a fresh coat of paint on it. We’ve been there, done that. We want something more!! Hopefully with the next year’s edition, and the remaining issues adressed, we’ll finally get a complete [...] virtua tennis game. Keep your fingers crossed!
