I've yet to come across a tennis video game that has great or even good, realistic game play and Virtua Tennis 3 is no different. Simply put, there are virtually no unforced errors, way too easy to lay out and dive for a shot and get it back no problem (multiple times per point) and no matter how good of a server you're playing with and how well you hit the serves and place, it's impossible to dominate with your serve. You can hit a 135 mph serve up the middle and the computer slap it down the baseline for a return winner or at least to put you on the defensive. This happens way too much.
Some other quibbles with the game, in World Tour mode in every tournament you get to serve first and you don't have to win the set by 2. All you have to do is hold your serve and you win the match. Pretty stupid if you ask me. That and the lack of stock players available for the game, you play the same guys over and over again only they get remarkably better over night.
With that said, if you're not expecting much in the gameplay/realistic simulation aspect, this is a very fun game. The mini games are all fun, the World Tour mode is solid and it can be surprisingly addicting. Before you know it you've been playing for a couple hours.Get more detail about Virtua Tennis 3.
