    Tennis is a glamorous and refined sport, and Virtua Tennis Challenge serves up a VIP pass to all of the action.

    Virtua Tennis Challenge doesn't reach a golden set standard, but despite heavy requirements it's still the Arcade title we've come to know and love.

    All the thrills and excitement of its console brothers, with surprisingly dependable controls. A lack of modes and almost useless multiplayer dampens the fun, though.

    Even without much real-life influence, Virtua Tennis Challenge accomplishes one key goal: portable tennis action. It may be pricier than most mobile games, but if you enjoy hitting the fuzzy green ball, it'll be well worth your time and cash.

    Although it lacks official licenses from the ATP, it offers quite a compelling gameplay and enough control options to satisfy every player.

    ​Virtua Tennis Challenge is still a solid, fun arcade game, with some nice touch controls and graphics.​

    The biggest challenge in this version of Virtua Tennis is working with the controls.
