This tennis game is way better than top spin. The controls are more inuitive. You are always playing from your players perspective. Shots are easier to control. The customize your own player portion is easier and more fun also.[ASIN:B000IONGWC Virtua Tennis 3]

So fun. Except I can't seem to get the number one ranking no matter how many times I beat Federer or win all the grand slam tournaments. And to add insult to injury my custom player keeps getting injured for no apparent reason! Other than that a fun and addictive game. Especially when you play doubles with Sharpova!!

Great game

I have an Xbox 360 and this game was a treat on this console. Absolutely amazing graphics and game-play.

Easily the best tennis game ever made.I have played Top Spin which is also awesome but this one is right up with the best as well.

Go for it. You will love it !

Players look funky but great gameplay

I recently snagged this game for the 360. The first thing I did was to play a women's match between one of this year's top doubles teams - Martina Hingis and Daniela Hantuchova. First of all, they mispronounce Dani's name, so that one's kinda weird. I can only select a few stadiums but the rest are unlockable. With that being said I set it for 6 games, 3 sets at the normal level, and the normal level is very easy. I can do the drop shots that made Marti famous but not the lobs because the computer gets to the lobs right away. For some reason I have not been able to do an ace but maybe that's just me since I need to get used to the controls.

Another name that they mispronounce is Gael Monfils. That one really bothered me as well. However the gameplay is great, I liked taking control of the 20 pro players. The graphics are awesome on my 62 inch 1080p TV. Speaking of the players they really look funky - Sharapova looks nothing like her, Marti looks like the 2002 version, and Nicole Vaidisova looks so pale and funky too. For the guys Nadal wears baggy shorts, and not his trademark pants. They got the individual serves right but the motion seems too fast. Marti also has her backhand, which is awesome. I wonder who did the motion capture.

The replays are also weird. Sometimes they show the replay, sometimes the player reaction. Maybe there is a way to just show replays. Top Spin 2 didn't so Virtua Tennis has an advantage there.

I recommend this game for fans. It's really fun-filled and as good as the Sega Dreamcast version with better graphics. I guess we can just overlook the funky looks and mispronounced names.

It's a Smash!

Basically, if you're looking for a great party game, tennis game or something that is easy to pick up and play, you'll love VT3. It's controls are highly intuitive making it easy for casual and even non gamers to have fun with it. However, don't let that fool you as it is difficult to master.
The graphics are quite good; in terms of player models (excellent) and stadiums.
On the downside: this game game tends to lock up and freeze occasionally. Occasionally, when you enter a game the players are invisible and all you see is the rackets. Lastly, although the graphics are good overall, you get the feeling that they could have done better crowd animations. Games like NBA 2K7 are excellent in that regard. However, those cons are minor and you'll soon forget them once you start seriously playing this game.

There is a nice spread of achievement points spread out throughout the game. It should not be difficult for you to obtain them. I ranked a male and female custom player at #1 in under one week!

Overall, if you like pick up and play games you'll like this one

Good but there are things that bug me.

It's a solid title, great graphics and sound. The animation is smooth and well defined. There is not much to learn in the game, just point and swing. The mini games are fun to play, yet becomes frustrating with the higher levels. There are many things that bug me...for example the tail of light that travels behind the ball. I will settle if the ball was going fast, but everytime the ball is in the air, there is the tail behind it. It looks like a comet. Next thing is the training. The computer stand-in makes the training very hard to complete, requiring numerous chances to clear one training. I believe in practice makes perfect, but if the training is on something that is worthless, why train on it, let alone the AI making it more difficult than it is. The players dive more than desired, they are like a wall. They return everything back. The players move a little too fast for me, the players all are on a caffeine surge or something. It's unrealistic.

Overall, good game, kinda hard to get used to after playing another title of the same sport.

Best tennis game so far

This is definitely the best tennis game so far for the 360. The action is great, and so are the graphics. You have Roger, Andy, and Maria which are most of my favs. But to make this the ultimate, it would be nice to have some of the legends in there too. Otherwise, this game is good enough for me to get rid of my others. It is great to sit down, relax, and play tennis with Maria Sharapova...
