If you’re going to make a Tennis game for consoles, now is as good a time as ever to release it, squeezed in between the two mid-year grand slams. Sega have certainly realised this by producing another iteration of their ever popular tennis franchise...

The blurb on the back of the Virtua Tennis 2009 cover states “The World’s No.1 Tennis Series Returns” – but the big question is: Does it return with anything new? The answer is no, nothing worth making a song and dance about anyway...
The arcade games, especially pool, are a nice inclusion. Multiplayer is where the most enjoyment is to be had.
Amelie Mauresmo is included. Inability to make split-second shot changes a minor annoyance.

Every now and then, a review turns up that’s just a bit trickier than the others. We can churn out text on fighting games and shooters like there’s no tomorrow, but when it comes to iterated sports games, well, that’s another matter entirely. And when...
The game’s so similar to Virtua Tennis 3 it’s almost criminal, but that doesn’t stop it being supremely entertaining with ideal offline multiplayer. If you’re a die-hard Andy Murray fan – if such a thing exists – then i...

When I searched for my uncle on the Internet under MSN, 295 results were returned to me. As we all know, many of the searches on the Internet dont always return the actual information that we were searching for. However, in this case, the top lis...
Virtua Tennis 2009 is a fun game to play if you want the look and feel of an arcade-style tennis game. There is no detail or fine tuning. The game works well but it is very simplistic on every single level. It is almost impossible to not do well (unl...

It’s been quite a while since I’ve spent an entire afternoon at the local arcade, but I do remember that Virtua Tennis was one of the more popular games at the time. Sure, I could empty out a roll of quarters with Street Fighter or Daytona USA, but Vi...

A Smash Hit or an Unforced Error? Sega’s Virtua Tennis 2009 isn’t so much a monumental step forward for the tennis franchise as much as it is a very minor sequel. You get an updated roster of players, more international courts to visit, and a...

The very first Virtua Tennis on the Sega Dreamcast was a wonderfully fun title that provided my friends and I with an insane amount of hours of enjoyment. Over the years, sequels to the original have kept to the tried and true template that started in...

Virtua Tennis 2009 (VT 2009) would have been more aptly named Virtua Tennis 3.5. That's because this latest version of the beloved tennis franchise is little more than a mildly tweaked edition rather than a full-fledged release. While this is often th...

Although extremely welcome, it won’t come as a big surprise to learn that VT 2009 has scrapped the diving and instated ‘stumble gameplay’, which means that rather than leaping for the ball like a maniac, your player will stretch for it and stumble in h...

In the ten years since Virtua Tennis was released in arcades, it's hardly changed. Sure, the graphics have improved a bit, and the player roster has kept up with the times, but for all intents and purposes it's exactly the same game now that it's alway...
