THE VIRTUAL TENNIS WORLD
The game is graphically great with well detailed players and fantastic environment around. Most of the players look very realistic, including Federer itself. They could have had better soundtracks though, as the current ones doesn't give any feeling of a tennis match. The other players include Roddick, Henman, Nalbandian, Nadal, Blake...

Advantages: Graphics, rane of difficulty settings, enjoyment Disadvantages: no online mode small arcade features bring it down
...Tennis is very versitile and you can find the setting that suits you where the game is easy enough to win but hard enough so as you have to try. On world tour mode you have to continuosly train in order to keep up with the standard of the other players.
World Tour mode is fun but again not realistic where as in real life you would be lucky to get to the second round of any competition and it would result in you jumping through the ranks if you managed to beat Federer or Nadal but in Virtua Tennis you end up winning every competition and only improving you rank by 2 or 3 out of 300. But although not realistic it is fun and keeps you amused for a long time.
When normally you would get bored from playing match after match of tennis there is far more to do than just that in Virtua Tennis. You have to train by performing aces, drop shots...

Still, when everybody's tennis turned up no one really gave it a second serve .... until orgasmic monica seles-esque screams emanating from the gaming cage convinced us otherwise. Don't get me wrong; vitua tennis 3 is a great game but for all lunchtime sessions we've enjoyed, sega's arcade classic is something of a one-trick pony. Yet rather than copy the game's mechanic of priming your shots before clouting the ball as early as possible, everybody's tennis instead relies on delicate timing. An intuitive set of icons above your players' heads provides you with the instant feedback as to whether you're hitting too early, too late or more cleanly rafael nadal...

Stephen Fry is a national treasure, and not just because he's worth millions. Erudite and witty, he is the man who can make upper middle class intellectualism cool.
