What our customer's say!
"Game, set, match", One of my favorie games on the PSP. The price on Amazon was good. This game is perhaps one of the best sports games out for the PSP. I don't even play tennis in real life, but this game is both fun and addicting.
"A litle bit of enterteinment...", Good graphics, some "extra" option games, a good option for this kind of games
"Great game", This game is more than mere button pressing, but it takes strategy (much like real tennis). I love this game.
"Steep Learning Curve", The learning curve for this game is rather steep. Learning how to serve the ball and get it in play is a challenge in itself. This is a game that's probably best experienced on a home console. It's not ideal for those random moments that you sometimes have to play a game. You wouldn't want to take this game along on your briefcase so that you can play during your lunch break. It demands more concentration and dedication than that.
As always, I try to keep my focus and my perspective in their proper places whenever I'm evaluating a video game. Is the game of good quality, meaning the graphics, controls, mechanics, and game engine? I would have to say yes and give this game 3 stars. On the more subjective question of fun, I give this game a 2. Again, this latter being more subjective than the former. In my humble opinion, this game is not much fun on a portable console.
From my perspective, a portable game should be designed for a different use than a home console game. A PSP game should lean more towards casual gaming, with a not-too-steep learning curve. This is one of those games that would be more enjoyable on the PS2.
"NEVER give five stars but Best handheld tennis game", I played tennis in high school and college. I own every handheld system tennis game there is. This is the best. Here's why.
Incredible ball control. For me, it's about making the shots. A drop when your opponent is on the baseline. hammering it deep to the right corner over and over and then whipping it to the far left. serve and volley. amazing angles. I can do it all on this psp game.
Graphics, graphics, graphics. Must be seen. BY FAR the best on a handheld system. Plus 2 player views. Overhead and on-court.
opponent skill and AI. level your player to the max, set the computer opponent to very hard and have a ball. In all the months of play, I have only served 2 aces!
Easy to save at any point. If I have to turn off in the middle of a point, the system usually comes on to that point. Great on the plane.
Strong minigames.
If you are a big fan of tennis and especially if you are a former competitive player - Buy this game.

"Virtua Tennis PSP", Overall the game plays well with very nice graphics and sound. Being a tennis player, I appreciate the variety of shots you can make, though making a certain shot can be 'hit or miss' at times.
There are several modes including quick game, exhibition, tournament or world tour. There are also a number of different surfaces including carpet, hard court, clay and grass and venues, including Tokyo, Melbourne, London and the USA.
One downside for me though is, even though I've created a custom player in World Tour mode, I still haven't been able to build up enough skill to actually play in any of the tournaments - the mini games to improve your skill seem quite difficult. You need to improve your skill so that your custom player can take part in the world tour mode.
Overall it's a pretty nice game and it's fun to play, but don't expect to be able to just pick it up and get to the final of wimbledon in one sitting!
"Great...for the tennis fan", This is a great game. Me, being a huge tennis fan and player myself, really enjoyed the real life players you don't get from games such as mario tennis. This game is one of the reasons I decided to switch to sony myself. Here are some pro's and cons with this game.
Pro's: -Graphics: They are great for a portable. The game is bright and vibrant, and just looks fantastic. -Gameplay: It's just great. There are some flaws (see cons) but overall, it's great. I love the three buttons for lob, slice, and topspin. I also love how every players actual shots are in this. Like how Roger Federer has that biting slice backhand, this is in this also. Also, Roddick has the best serve, Hewitt's the fastest, and so on. It's just great. -Replay Value: It's always so much fun to just start a short tournament with your favorite pro. It only takes about 10 minutes for an entire tournament, and that's great for the casual gamer like me.
Con's: Sound: Yeah, sound isn't that important but there is only like one song in the whole soundtrack. It just gets a little boring. Also, Sharapova and Williams don't do their signature grunts, I didn't expect it, but it would've been awesome. Gameplay: A couple times, the game just stopped on me, like a computer freezes. I had to reboot the whole system, it was really annoying. Lack of modes: World tour mode is good...sort of. Until you get to the really good part, the match play, its very boring. The mini games are so repetative, and are just so boring. I would've liked to have seen easier tournaments against worse players in the beginning ending with a big 3 setter against #1 Roger Federer. Yup, that'd rule. Multiplayer: I like ad-hoc mode, but besides that, there's nothing. I would've enjoyed the online one, because a lot of times, your friends don't own the same games as you.
Overall, it's a really fun game. It's great for the tennis fan, but even the casual gamer would like it. If you can get through the mini games on world tour mode, it's a great addition to this game. Great game!
"One of the most entertaining PSP games!", I recently purchased this game and cannot put it down! I had and loved the original when it first came out on the Dreamcast, and this version is extrememly similar. The graphics, sound, and ever the playablity (which always concerns me with the PSP controller) all were intact with this port.
What's great about the Virtua Tennis series is that you don't have to be a hardcore tennis fan or huge sports nut to get into it. It's simple enough for anyone to learn and loads of fun once you get into it.
This is a great game that you can pick up and play for a quick few minutes, or focus on for longer periods of time. It's very addicting! The graphics are very clean with great animations and vibrant colors. The sounds work efficiently for a tennis game. And even the control is solid on both pads of the PSP. There is a little loading time in between games, but it's acceptable.
I totally recommend this game!
""Good Game"", This is a great game for the PSP. It is better than Top Spin. It has Federer, Roddick, Sharapova, Williams, Vaidasova, Davenport, Mauresmo, my favorite David Nalbandion, Lleyton Hewitt, Tim Henman, Juan Carlos Ferraro, Tommy Haas, Sebastion Grosean, and Daniella Hantucova. This game has a great Pro Tour and the graphics are supurb. Buy it.
"Wow! This game is a blast!", I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into my local Videogames store and saw this on sale for $19.99! This game is surely one of the current and best value priced and fun games on the PSP now! In a time when most other games are staying in the $40 to $50 range for up to 10+ months, I guess dropping the price on this one was due to lacklustre sales? Don't know why, because every videogame fan knows what a blast this series is, and this newest Sega outing is no exception.
The first thing I noticed, when firing up the game, was its true to form comparison to the previous releases on the DC and the Playstation 2. The music is still there, as well as the fantastic gameplay. All of the minigames, are there as well. While I couldn't find any additons or changes, I'm certain they exist due to the extra extention on the name for the PSP version.
I give this game SUPER high ratings, and look forward to playing as Venus Williams or Maria S (don't try to get me to spell her last name.) Two very enthusiastic gamer thumbs up.
