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!

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.

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.

Interesting and fun way to play tennis

VT3 is a pretty neat game. I've never played a VirtuaTennis game before. I was expecting some neat gameplay and some tournaments and that's it. However, the "World Tour" mode is very engaging. It give you a calendar with tournaments taking place around the world. You go to the minigames to hone the skills of your player so that you can win tournaments and move up the rankings. Along the way, you get new gear from sponsors and other players. It doesn't do much, but it's something. The neat part is how you have to manage your stamina to make sure you have enough when a tournament comes around. Once or twice, I was playing so many mini-games I forgot to go to the tournaments. My character "got the flu" from playing so hard without rest that he was out for 4 weeks. Kind of interesting.

The graphics are great and the motions are spot on. Once you get to more skilled players the action really heats up and gets very engaging. I was just ho hum about tennis before, but this really made it seem interesting and engaging.

If you think VirtuaTennis might be interesting, download the demo and try it. If you like the demo, you'll LOVE the game.

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.

Best Game

This is the best tennis game in the world. When I first started to play I was instantly absorbed into the world of a tennis pro's life. The game lets you create your own character which you design to look just like you. Then you start your own career as a tennis player. it is your job to practice by playing the many mini games, keep your stamina up by drinking energy drinks and taking vacations, and last but certainly not least, engage your tennis pro in the tournaments occurring all over the globe.

The best thing about Virtua Tennis 3 for me is applying your real life tennis strategy to the game. You can decide how to play the point, (down the line approach shot, cross court return, run your opponent around the court.....) My point is that you get to control how the point ends up in the end.

This is a wonderful game and I highly suggest you buy it. Trust me, You won't be disappointed.

Awesome Game

If I could I'd rate this game seven stars, its amazing. The graphics are very good, the controls are simple and easy, and you get to play pro tennis players. Those are the best and main reasons that I love this game. If you are a common tennis player or fan this game is the perfect choice for you. Buy it now or soon!!!!!!!!

Very nice game
