Game Set and Match Virtua Tennis
(January 06, 2002) |

A very arcade-style approach to tennis, and it works wonderfully. Fast-paced matches, simple controls, and great fun in multiplayer.
There's enough challenge to keep you going, special note should be given to the World mode, where you play ever-increasingly hard matches to win trophies and money, which can be used to buy costumes, new players, doubles partners, sports drinks, and other things. There's also the training events which involve a range of tasks, such as knocking over balloons and lobbing balls into bins.Things can get boring after a while, but if you've always got a couple of friends available you'll always have a good time. Considered by many to be an essential DC purchase at the time, but with the sequel out you may want to spend that bit extra for that version instead of this. |

Virtua Tennis
(December 26, 2001) |

This is a masterpiece of a game , and one that has been described by many as reason enough to buy a dreamcast.
GOOD POINTS: Brilliant graphics and animation, with a smoothness not found in any other sports game.
Great selection of tournements and matches.
THE BEST multiplayer game on the Dreamcast, and a great end to any party.
BAD POINTS: NO WOMEN
Small selection of players
Can be too difficult on higher settings and when progressing in a tournementOverall, this is one of maybe only 5 must-buys on the dreamcast, although upstaged by the sequel, it is still a classic that must be owned |

This is a must buy

This game continues the legend of Sega Sports Arcade titles and is sure to keep the most dedicated tennis fan riveted to the net. A perfect translation of the smash arcade hit, the Dreamcast version serves up the same grand slamming gameplay and rich 3D graphics. Crisp animations and realistic sound effects add to the game's immersive power. Spectators, ball boys, chair umps, everyone gets into your game and reacts to the scores. Play on realistic courts with surfaces such as clay or grass, and adjust your game as the ball and players respond differently on each. Four-player mode lets you get a fierce game of Doubles going. Eight of the top-ranked players in the world are included in the game, choose one, and volley your way to the Championship. This game from the start to the finish is the best around when it comes to tennis |

A great sports title from the Gaming Masters, SEGA
(November 30, 2001) |

SEGA launched the Dreamcast with high hopes. The public awaited the Dreamcast with high hopes. The games around at first were good, but there was very little in the way of sports titles except for the just-above-par Virtua Striker v2000. The system needed something to grab attention. The answer: VIRTUA TENNIS.
In a very under represented genre, VT managed to redefine what was expected not only of tennis games but of the whole sports group. Superlative graphics courtesy of the Naomi board in the arcades transferred seamlessly to the Dreamcast. Unfortunately, the crowd were a bit of a let down in this department, being two dimensional and pixelated, but the players looked great.
Sound, as you might expect from an arcade title, featured weird, stereotypical Japan Rock and very obvious ball hitting noises and foot squeaks. This was all well and good but got annoying after a while.
Another feature that was very interesting was the challenges/training section. These were very challenging but some, notably the target shooter, were indescribably tough.
In terms of actual all round gameplay, however, the game comes up trumps. The players respond well but not quickly, the ball strike area is well mapped to the raquet head meaning not weird 'hitting with the air' or 'going through the racquet' syndrome. The AI was great also. In general, then SEGA managed to pull off one of the greatest and most original sports titles of all time. LONG LIVE SEGA! |
