I'm not a big tennis fan, I can't sit there through a whole match and stay interested, it's just not a sport I can watch. I can however play it till I drop, tennis has always been fun to play (gaming and actively) for me even though I'm really **** at it. I had a Dreamcast when they released Virtua Tennis 2 on it and it was one of the best sports games I'd played.
The World Tour mode was great for customizing your player and the mini games were just as fun as playing against a friend. The Xbox and PS2 didn't offer much in tennis games so I never bothered with them for too long. Top Spin 2 on the 360 wasn't too clever either. Now Virtua Tennis 3 is coming to 360 on 30th March (and a little earlier on the PS3) and I was wondering who else will be buying it here? It's only the second game to use true HD (first being GRAW2) and has had some great reviews. There isn't too much footage around at the moment but here are 2 gameplay videos from an early September build of the game here at IGN
There is also a demo released on the XBOX Live Marketplace so give it a try, I've just been playing for a good hour. The demo is rather limited but I had fun playing it. Nadal moves round the court so quick, returns everything I throw at him.
