    This is why people that actually play the sports of these games should only do the reviewing. Top Spin 4 may be a better game experience, but it feels nothing like the tennis I played in college and futures. It's forced and nobody moves like that on a tennis court. Mini games aside virtua tennis 4 just feels far more like real tennis, and in the end, that's what it's all about in my book. Shrug.

    I really like this game, however I think the career mode is not verry good at all

    In a Sega Virtua Tennis vacuum, this entry in the series leans hard on the smooth and sharp graphics at 1080p 60fps like most Japanese games of the era but the pace of the action is slower and the career mode is more stagnated than previous entries which makes for a more boring game.

If we compare this game to all the other tennis games that were released after VT4 came out, we simple just cannot ignore the fact that VT4 is literally the last game to have a proper and believable tennis motion and this is coming from a tennis player. This although is my personal opinion as I prefer Virtua Tennis to Top Spin precisely for that reason.… Expand

    At the end of the day, Virtua Tennis 4 is a game that trades largely on its lineage-but given that this game, like VT2009, continues to muck up a really good formula, it's hard to imagine gamers continuing to be forgiving of Sega's recurring missteps.

    For what it's worth, however, this is a fantastic game by every stretch of the imagination. Those who have waited 4 years for another installment will not be disappointed.

    Given such a large gap between Virtua Tennis 3 and this entry, you would hope that we'd see considerable improvements and a nearly flawless experience. Instead, we have yet another mediocre sports game with a bit of squandered potential.
