Virtua Tennis Game, set, and match goes to Sega Sports for releasing one of the most entertaining sports game since the system s launch. Virtua Tennis is so much fun that certain editors around here are going to be in trouble for neglecting their duties and playing all day. 5.0 Every grunt, groan, and scream from each of the players is crystal clear, and there are even calls made by the umpires in languages native to the country you play in. 5.0 Two simple buttons and lots of angling with the directional controller mean that you can focus on the action without messy controller finger aerobics.
Clean controls equals more fun.
It s not free. If you don t care that Sampras and Agassi won t be showing up for mixed-doubles, than you will completely enjoy Virtua Tennis. The graphics alone are one of the game s biggest draws. Rich, textured polygons and hyper-realistic movement give the game a lot of staying power. The courts, including hard, grass, and clay, are also spared no details, with clouds moving over the open courts, ball boys running between serves, and a crowd that looks better than most sports game cut-out crowds look.
