  1. Virtua Tennis 3 is a good game, but it plays a little too much like "Virtua Tennis: World Tour."

    It can't quite live up the the standard set by its more playable big brother. [May 2007, p.108]
  3. A very playable tennis game if you don't already own "World Tour."

    Virtua Tennis 3 is very similar to "World Tour," so the game is only really recommended for those who didn't pick up the first title on launch.

    Don't buy this buggy load of pants. Buy VT:World Tour - it's better and cheaper! I've owned both. Sure, this looks a bit nicer Don't buy this buggy load of pants. Buy VT:World Tour - it's better and cheaper! I've owned both. Sure, this looks a bit nicer & you can see what tournaments you have won, but (a) it crashes a lot when using your custom player, temporarily bricking your PSP. This is particularly annoying when winning in the final of a tournament. (b) you can't see the ball being hit as the player name labels stupidly cover most of the top of the screen, even for short names (c) it is far too easy to get to #1. Once you figure out the simple way to play the CPU, it is very hard to lose! (d) the skills practice games are mostly worse (e) the AI is not as good. The 'good' players have an annoying habit of taking drop shots about 90% the time. (f) Some tasks are next to impossible in the training academy because the CPU player will not co-operate! I'm sorry I traded VT:World Tour in - Don't make the same mistake I did! Full Review »
