Graphics are good, but the game is useless after a few hours(PS3 version)

Firstly, I am not a fanboy of any console. Here is my unbiased opinion on Virtua tennis3. Get the XBOX 360 version if you want to play online. The ps3 version might look a tad better graphically(in offline mode), but lacks online functionlity and I know for sure that many of you folks would love to play any sports game online since CPU based challenges are quite boring.

Everything else about the game is pretty good. Definitely better than Topspin 2, but Topspin for XBOX is still the best tennis game(unfortunately Topspin does not play on the 360).

As for the PS3 owners(including me), we have to hope the SEGA magically develops some interest towards PS3 and gives us online play(both Virtua tennis and Virtua fighter) or Sony needs to develop more sports games inhouse too.

Very fun game

I love tennis games, and this game looks and plays amazingly real. You feel like your out on the court playing, and it's a great feeling. Definitely a must for lovers of the sport, or for those with an interest in tennis.

Addictive, challenging game play

This is the most polished Virtua Tennis in the series.

I played the older versions in PS2 and PSP. Game play wise, VT3 actually is the same as those older versions. You get the latest and greatest tennis stars and new mini games to power up your custom player. The interesting thing is in VT3 the computer AI is quite smart. You cant cruise through the game like before. Have to use some brain. Thats the nice part.

Other than part, its pretty much the same game as the previous versions with better graphics (1080p!)

If you never play Virtua Tennis before, then I highly recommend this game to you. Its easy to learn and play. Its fun and addictive.

Great game for all level of tennis game fans

I bought this game about a week ago and haven't been able to put it down since. I played a lot of tennis games on different consoles, I'd say the best one I played was Virtual Tennis 2 on Xbox (Much better than the ps2 version), but since I don't own an Xbox I was only able to play that at a friend's place, my favorite tennis game for PS2 was Top Spin 2, and now comes this game...
Pro:
-Sharp graphics, better than the Xbox 360's version.
-Broad difficulty range, this game is truly for tennis fans of all levels
-Challenging play, requires GOOD skills to win on the hardest level
-Good music and commentary
-Short game loading time compared to Top Spin 2
Con:
-No online game playing, as was stated by others
-The computer tends to "dive" for the ball a lot, but this can be avoided

To me this is definitely the best tennis game out there right now, although I haven't really tried to play the Xbox's version. The game loads a LOT faster than Top Spin 2 (My biggest headache with that game, it loads slow even on the faster PS3 system), I don't really care too much about the lack of online play since I like it a lot more with having friends over and play 4 people doubles team. Unlike Top Spin 2, the skills required for this game is high if you want to beat it on the hardest level, I started out at Normal and was able to breeze through, I beat Hard on the first try also but in 3 close sets, and now I'm on Very Hard and I was only able to win 1-2 games per set. The "dive" problem can be avoided if you get yourself closer to the ball before hitting a button, so the player "swings" at the ball in a closer range, it'll take a bit to master that since coming from Top Spin 2 I tend to press the button right after the ball left the opponent's court. Overall this is a really fun game, I'd recommand this to all the tennis fans out there.

Fun to play, very realistic and great graphics

I already had the previous game on PSP and I loved it. Now, this one comes out on PS3 and it is soooo gooooood. Has excellent game play, very real movements, graphics are breathtaking. There is nothing wrong I can say about this game. If you like Tennis, this is a must have.

The best tennis game out!

Nicely done

This games is exceptionally well done - from the graphics, to the fluidness, and to the overall play. Very realistic and enjoyable. Highly recommend it. Not much different from PS2 version but still nice.

Lack of online features is the only bad part

I would have given 5 if the PS3 version of this game has included online matchups but for some reason Sega did not include that feature unlike its XBOX360 counterpart. Yet, the visuals are stunning, and the gameplay is highest possible i can imagine, thanks to Sega's long time history with arcade-game style. It is a lot of fun to play with your friend, both on Singles (1 vs. 1) and Doubles (2 vs. 2).

Career mode is also great. It is a BUY unless some other title comes along that combines strong-gameplay and online feature.

I'm hooked

Although there are minor improvements which could be made - overall the game is challenging in all levels - however, too hard to have ton of fun.
It's also one of those games you could play with your gf - as you can play double team or vs. each other.

Great graphics, not a hundred buttons to press

This is great entertainment, excellent graphics and action. Weak points are the restricted number of players and lack of online gaming. Soundtrack is also annoying, but you can choose to turn it off.

Great fun!!

This is a great game the graphics are great, but not mind blowing i think they put all there efforts into the actual players the back ground is a bit poor e.g. the audience look like cardboard cut out's. BUT don't let that put you of, this game is great fun for all ages and the commands are so easy. a must for sport game fans!!
