I think I'm going to put in Virtua Tennis 3 next...
I am so disappointed with this game. I mean, it has solid gameplay but if you've played VT2 there is absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing new to the game except the HD.
The only thing "new" about the game (iirc) is there are times where the pros come up to you and say something. What they say is always asinine ("Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere? Oh, I remember."), there is exactly one canned animation for all players, male and female, and they all have the "uncanny valley ftl" look to them (some players look diseased even, and if Daniela Hantuchova ever saw herself in this game, no doubt she'd go back to being anorexic).
It's really fun, but in terms of progressing the series forward, SEGA have channeled their resources to all the wrong things.
Top Spin is a better series, imo.
