    I love the way the game plays & how each of the professional's personal body motions have been incorporated. What I'm finding annoying is the on-line play. I've only had a couple of games but I'm guessing the ping times are too high between players so there's lag. It means for many missed shots you easily could have returned. Surely just putting a caveat in that I love the way the game plays & how each of the professional's personal body motions have been incorporated. What I'm finding annoying is the on-line play.

On another point it's far to easy to beat the AI players - should be a lot more challenging.… Expand

    A good tennis game for the Wii. However, I can't say that I got super-excited from the gameplay.

    What Virtua Tennis lacks in panache or style, it makes up for with substance, including a comprehensive World Tour mode and the best tennis controls on Wii. [July 2009, p.62]

    It’s a solid step up from what’s been on the Wii so far, and it’s addictive enough that we kept playing well past the point where our arms got sore.

    As a first attempt at Wii MotionPlus controls this is a decent effort, but it's not quite the definitive article. [July 2009, p.88]
