Product Description
The third edition of Virtua Tennis has arrived on the PS3. Based on the famous arcade version, the game developers were able to preserve the easy-to-assimilate and difficult-to-master gameplay. Virtua Tennis 3 is extremely realistic and displays out-of-this world graphics. The players are well-modelled and the animations are astounding. New players have arrived and it&rsquos even possible to create your own player with the Career mode. Virtua Tennis 3 includes all of the mini practice games from the old versions and some new ones.

5 out of 5 stars Virtual Tennis cant get better !!!   December 2, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This has to be the best tennis video game made. The graphics and gameplay are amazing. It looks tooo real to be a video game. The characteristics of players are copied to the T and you cant feel any more real.

You have to play it to beleive it ..So if you have a PS3, then its a MUST BUY.



5 out of 5 stars best tennis game i've ever played   February 29, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

i've played a few tennis games over the years and was always frustrated by the lack of control your player had, leading to not beating the cpu much.
with this game, i'm totally blown away. the graphics are amazing, even on a normal tv. the players actually look like who they are meant to be, and they have the players characteristics, too, federer standing shaking his head when he loses a point, nadal motioning to his face, for a towel, and so on. you can play both as male or female, although i've so far only played as male, even though i'm female!
the gameplay is so good, i can actually return a serve, and i can beat the cpu. you get the chance to start your career, bottom of the rankings and build your way up, you have to train on all parts of your game, serves, volleys, footwork, etc, by way of mini games which are quite fun. if you train too hard, you can get injured, my poor player broke his leg! with these additional features, it's such an in depth game, i've not played any like it before, although i'm not sure if these features are part of other tennis games, they're not on the ones i've played.

the more you advance in your career, the more options become available to you, new clothes, racquets, tournaments, both singles and doubles, so there's always something to strive for.

i'm not sure why a review here compares this game to the xbox version, that's pointless, not everyone will have both an xbox and ps3, and this is a review of the ps3 version, not the xbox version, so why compare? very poor reviewer in my opinion. not everyone has capabilities to play games online and if that's what you are looking for, why bother actually buying a game that doesn't offer that, and then complain afterwards? it's your own fault for not reading the specifications!

i'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who has a PS3, it's a must have game. i'd even recommend it to anyone who has been let down by tennis games in the past.



5 out of 5 stars Nice   June 1, 2007

Not having online play is not such a worry for me so i cant comment on that.
Overall the game plays well and looks great in HD. The minigames are ones you would die for and playing them multiplayer is great.
The players look good and the little things like dust flying when you change direction too fast on clay adds a nice realistic feel.
If you like tennis you'll love it.



5 out of 5 stars Great fun   October 10, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This game great. good graphics and a massive choice of tennis related games to do. There is the main world tour where you create your own player and get him/her to the No. 1 seed. then there are various multiplayer games for 1-4 (I think) The game uses all of the new PS3 functions including the 6 axis control meaning that you can control which way you run by tilting the controller. and you also move the controller side to side to put top spin on the ball.
Overall it's great game and a must buy for all who have a PS3 Plus because it was one of the first games out it price has started to drop.



5 out of 5 stars Highly addictive realistic tennis game sim   April 8, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is as good as it gets if you're a tennis fan. Or if you have a any interest in the game! It's so much fun! I got this game yesterday and played it for hours - I couldn't put it down. First of all the players look amazingly lifelike. Daniel Handtuchova practically looks real! It was obviously marketed to fanboys and girls alike (For the guys we have Sharapova, Hingis, Hantuchova and Vadisova plus others) For the girls we have Nadal, Federer, Roddick ect...) You can play exhibition matches around the world and the announcer's voice will be in the local language (15 love ect...) You can enter a tournement, create a player and take on the world (train, rest, buy gear, get a coach ect...)or play doubles or against a friend. I had so much fun playing against Sharapova as Handtuchova yesterday in tournament mode. You can unlock things like new stadiums as you progress through the game. Highly recommended - the graphics are superb.
