I would have given it five stars, except for the fact that I can't play as my fav player Sampras. But besides the fact that there aren't enough real players and the omission of female players, the game is pretty awesome. It's very simple and easy to pick up. But as someone who plays tennis a lot, I would like to see a more complex game that allows us to have more control over the game like slicing and more spin control. Also, I wish we could have the option to play a full 3 set or 5 set game. But that's enough negativity! This game is fun! I've been [beating my] fellow coworker ... at work, even my supervisor got beat by me! Hope I don't get fired. How much did I love this game? Well, I bought the dreamcast because of this game. Usually I play with the one at work, but after playing this game, I knew I had to have my own game. If you are looking for a fun time with a bunch of friends, this game is the one to get.
Awesome

Virtua tennis is a sweet game. I play tennis and this is as close to the real thing as one can get. All types of courts and they are all over the world. One weaknes is there are not top players like Samprass, Agassi etc. Also the players sometimes look like vampires. Besides that the graphics are great the gameplay is awesome and sega has done it again.
I am the pokemon master of this game!

For a game that claims to honor a great sport, Virtua Tennis is not! Where are the great talents of the women(Williams sisters)etc, Chang and all the others that should be included in the game so that the Game Player can have the challenge of playing men against women ,women against women and create a possibly superb game almost like NBA SHOWTIME! What a waste to have a female impersonate a male, especially, when there is no other choice! What a disrespectful act towards women, Chang and any one else that should be included!

I really enjoyed this game at the arcade. My brother and I have gotten in heated matches and can't wait for the DC pre-order from Amazon to arrive. Being too old by videogame standards, I lose regularly to my bro in all fighting and sports game. The beauty of this game is that it's easy to pick up and play, yet simulates pro tennis in a fun way. There are no zillion combos to pull. Even I can play and have pretty decent games against younger players.
Great in the arcades, I'm sure it'll be great on DC

Dreamcast, lately, has not delievered an excellent game since Dead or Alive 2, and this dissapointed me, since I trusted Sega to deliver. But now it has, by giving me the oppurtunity to buy this game. It's absolutely one of the greatest console games of all time... simply because it's the first really, really, good tennis game.
If you like tennis and like DC, this is a must-buy game.
Terrible game

This is one of the worst arcade to console translation ever. The control is sloppy with either the digital or the analog control pad. AND THE COMPUTER CHEATS ALL THE TIME! I would give this game zero stars if i could, but one star is the best I can do. The people giving this game five stars obviously haven't play the game yet. Terrible, terrible game.....
i didn't think i'd like it

I have to admit I was rather surprised i liked this game. When my brother gave me his Dreamcast, this was one of the games he gave me along with it. I'm not a fan of watching tennis, and I can't play worth anything. But the game turned out to be fun. Like most of the Dreamcast sports games, it isn't too difficult for a player like me (one who doesn't play all the time and isn't a phenomenal player). The graphics are nice, and game play is easy to figure out and really works well. There is a save option and the game turns out to be quite fun. I say yes if you are asking whether or not to pick up this game.
doesn't work with Windows XP

I ordered this game, but cannot make any comments about it because I haven't played it yet. Why? Because the damn thing doesn't function with Windows XP!I have tried everything, am an experienced computer user, have played other PC tennis games, but for some reason, it is not compatible with XP. If someone out there can give me some information on how to use this game with XP, I wish you would e-mail me at jrryns@syd.eastlink.ca...on the box it says that it IS compatible with XP, but I'll believe it when I see it ..... I would like to use it with Microsoft Sidewinder plug n play, but I can't even get out of the starting gate. If you are using this game with Windows, please send me as much detailed description of how to get it going as you can.....Jerlaw

Overall the game is great nice graphics and sound. The downside to this game is that you only play with two buttons. Another con is that the play is unrealistic. You can dominate a point from no man's land and can't hit topspin, slice, or anything like that. Although the gameplay is unrealistic, I'm a tennis addict in RL, I still find myself paying again and again. Great game overall.
