I recommend this game. The career mode is hours of fun. Hard to put down once you start playing.

The best tennis game I have ever played!

I love playing tennis, whether a video game or on the court. I have had problems in most every video tennis game I have played with the power settings on shots. The way it has always worked is hold the shot button longer and you get more power on the shot. The problem for me has been I was not able to get the player in a good position and hold the swing button long enough to build up power. With this game, you can hold down the swing button to build up power, yet still slightly move the player to the best position to get a good swing. The PS3 actually assists in moving the player in the best position and getting the most power and accuracy. The serves work great and the movement is wonderful. The graphics are amazing and I love the side games where you can build up your skills. I am very addicted to this game. If you are looking for an accurate, playable tennis game, go with this!

great

Great graphics an all, but lack: multiplayer online, outside balls (pros do make mistakes same times!!) and Djovich!!!!

Lack of online play is the only flaw

Only the lack of online play on the PS3 version keeps me from giving this game 5 stars. It's easy to pick up but it's hard to master at the higher difficulty settings. The designers had to make some compromises, e.g., second serves and balls hit into the net are not a part of the game. But you don't even really notice after a while. This game is a must for even casual tennis fans.

Really good Tennis Game

I have this game for the PSP and it's a real letdown. I got my PS3 for christmas and got this game used for $24.99 and I've played it every day since.

I'm not someone with a long attention spand so I don't play the world mode only the arcade. I like a challenge so I only play in the Very hard mode and boy let me tell u.. it is hard. I have smash court tennis for PSP and only play in the hardest mode and it's nothing compare to this in hard mode. In hard mode on SCT I can beat elite players 6-0,6-0 just no challenge.

If smash court tennis was as challenging as Virtua Tennis then it would be a really great game but competition wise Virtua Tennis beats Smash court hands down.

The graphics in VT3 are okay, not outstanding. The players also don't look like the real thing. It doesn't have the sound effects like when maria sharapova screams on every shot.. I miss that very much. Smash court tennis have all of those but like I said, it's not as challenging. One thing I don't like on VT3 is that you cant play best of 3-5 sets which really sucks.

I hear they are making a new tennis game hopefully it will be as detail as smash court tennis but as challenging as VT3.

So in conclusion. If you want to play a tennis game where u really have to think and where the competition is good I say get this game it's fun in that respect. However, if you're looking for Nadal grunt or sharapova screams then forget it..

Great game, but short story

I was very excited when i first got this game.
It has great graphics, and is very fun to play.
The only problem that i see, is that even though it has various game modes, they are not so exciting, they help you to improve your in game abilities, but the get very boring after a while.
I finished playing with the story mode in 2 weeks, its kind of hidious because all you do is play and play the same thing over and over, but there is not much to do about it, its a tennis game, the same happens with soccer games, basketball games, etc.
I havent tried it by playing with somebody else, none of my friends are PS3 fans, but it looks like a great game to play between 2 or more people.
I am a huge fun of tennis, and thats why i got it, when i cant go out to play real tennis because of rain or other reasons, the game makes me feel almost as excited as playing in real life.
Its not a must have, unless you are a big fan of the game!

great fun... for a while

I've played this game for about 30 total hours now. It's very well done and addictive. Nice graphics, good depth in developing abilities with training games. The only gripes are about difficulty, Having mastered the gameplay, Hard is too easy, yet Very Hard is a nightmare. The CPU runs down EVERYTHING, and even when lunging returns shots at impossible angles to deny hard earned points. The volleying doesn't work like it should, also denying sure points with inexplicably weak returns. These "cheating" elements have now killed the game for me. The Chasm of Difficulty between settings really hurts an otherwise great title. With a friend it could still be very fun, but there's no online option. Worth the price, but could be better.

Really fun!

this was so much fun, i loved it so much.
even that i think that the faces could be more realistic, its almost same face they uses in entire game.
but funny and very hard specially @ the end.
it lacks the possibility of online gaming which is a down thing. come again
