Like Sownload, Sega's sports game just feels right - you get real satisfaction when you hit a virtuaa return from a serve, or smash a crucial backhand into the corner to win a point, and the improved animation adds to the fluidity of the action. Virtua Tennis 3 gives you three types of shot - slice, top spin and lob - although the timing and the ability to 'charge up' shots allows you to pull off a huge array of different ones, which is where the skill of a master player is revealed.
Virtua Tennis is the Pro Evolution Soccer of the sport, providing the instant accessibility of an arcade game, with the hidden depths and secrets of a hardcore title - the classic 'easy to learn, difficult to master1 aesthetic that marks out true classics.
