Virtua Tennis for Dreamcast

Pros: Awesome graphics, pretty good soundtrack, addictive as hell
Cons: The player faces will give children nightmares, questionable depth & replay

Personally, I really don't like tennis that much. I can never get into it. Perhaps it's because I seriously suck at it, but tennis isn't on the list of favorite sports. However, I've always liked a good tennis game for a video game machine. After all,...

Pros: A sime which plays like an arcade game
Cons: No Williams sisters?! No Anna Kournikova?!

Let’s be honest here: Not a whole lot of us really care about tennis, do we? We don’t even really kn ...

Pros: Simple controls, yet lots of challenges; dirt cheap
Cons: The Sega controller, but that's to be expected.

Way on back in 1981, a little company called Activision released Tennis for the Atari 2600. Up until that time, most of us thought of Pong or some variant when someone mentioned a tennis video game. Activision's fantastic cart, however, was...

Pros: everything
Cons: no weather effects

I don’t know what I was thinking when I got Virtua Tennis that day at Funcoland with Skies of Arcadia, but I guess it just looked cool when I saw it on the racks. Well now I’m glad I bought it, because I have enjoyed every little bit of it...

Pros: graphics, sounds, easy gameplay
Cons: lack of game options

At least for me it didn't. After reading several reviews by other gamers I went out to Best Buy shopping. I examined several games and due to the fact that this game was only $20, it's a Sega All Star, and it got good reviews at this site I...

Pros: Easy to learn, great graphics, smooth gameply, inexpensive
Cons: Higher levels can be extremely difficult

Overall: 9
Gameplay: 9
Graphics: 9
Sound: 9

Concept: 8

When we think of the greatest video games of all time, we invariably go back to the classics. Games like Pac-Man, Galaga,...

Pros: Great Graphics , Fun Gameplay, Various Difficulty
Cons: The Game Can Get Hard Fast at higher difficulty Levels

This game has to be one of the most absolutely brilliantly conceived games to come out since Nintendo's TENNIS came out along while back ( and I mean a long while, LOL)

This game is truly one of the best tennis games out on the market and dare...

Pros: Visuals, Sound, Control, Multiplayer, Replay Value
Cons: The appearance of the crowd, no female tennis players.

Tennis. A somewhat unknown sport to most people, for others it’s their life. And while you don’t see many tennis games out there, I mean even golf games get released more in the US then do tennis games. While I can understand that capturing the authentic...

Pros: Simple controls, lots of modes, unexplainably fun
Cons: Some graphic flaws, repetitive background music

My first encounter with Virtua Tennis was on a friend's Dreamcast before I got a Dreamcast of my own. He called me up and was incredibly excited that he had just gotten Virtua Tennis. I said, "You mean Virtua Pong, right?" My initial...

Pros: Incredible graphics, easy to learn gameplay
Cons: Lack of options and modes

Over the years I've played dozens of tennis games. Now I'm not really a huge tennis fan, but the games are always fun to me. Virtualy every game console has had tennis games, some better than others. The Genesis, NES, SNES, Playstation, I've played...

Pros: tight control/great graphics and gameplay
Cons: where are the women?

With all of the deserved and unwarranted criticism the Dreamcast is receiving there are at least a few things that cannot be disputed. One is that it definitely has the specs, hardware, graphics, games and prospectives to compete with the next generation...

Pros: Addictive, Great Graphics.
Cons: 1 Player version gets old.

I first played Virtua Tennis in the arcade. It was so addicting and so much fun and it was the reason I purchased the Dreamcast. This version is almost identical in gameplay to the arcade version. I also needed a game that I could play against my wife...

Pros: Great graphics, sound and physics.
Cons: Loses greatness after 15 minutes.

Yea, I'm your manly man. Well, actually not. I'm just a goofy computer nerd. But, I still have my values. Football, beer and corn dogs. Tennis is for pious sissies. That's what I used to think.

Graphics 10/10

...

Pros: Everything about this game is a pro.
Cons: None but the little camera angle problem.

The first Sega Dreamcast sports game that I played was Baseball 2K1. Let's just say that it wasn't a good game at all. The tails completely turned with this outstanding Sega Arcade game, Virtua Tennis. I have had the game for a while now and it...

Pros: Amazing graphics, addictive gameplay, easy controls, not only for tennis fans
Cons: Bad replays, no female characters, ugly characters that only a mother could love

The volley goes back and forth between Kafelnikov and Moya, Moya hits a hard one left! Kafelnikov dies and hits! Moya slams for the point!

This is the kind of excitement that is the norm for Virtua Tennis, a true instant classic. Virtua...
