Virtua Tennis 4 - PS3 - GR review

2:37 AM Posted by Mario Galarza


Some find it unfair, Virtua Tennis 4, whose roots are firmly in the arcade, top spin 4, in direction of the simulation of the sport was inspired to compare. But usually the same people who think that anyone who turned out to be top spin 4 are favoured. Both games have similar controls, similar presentation, similar star-studded rosters, and both are on, I dare, tennis. They would have to say a more difficult time, the difference between a womangrunt if she have a powerful back hand swings and their wild-like fire sex moan.

Instead of looping through a series of tennis match types with little variation, you are filled with circular spaces that represent a mini game, a match type, or an event on a Board with linear paths. By upgrading your player's capabilities through mini games and earn to win stars through charity events and games, you can earn your place in the most prestigious tournaments and will be an "ultimate Star".

To move on the Board, you get three points 1 to 4 which means that there is, a strong chance, are not the correct ticket on the space you land the desired movement tickets. You can buy some additional tickets from a Management Office (if you are on it), but that doesn't help much. In addition, you must ensure that you rest in hotels or to keep, make a recovery ticket your condition rated enough stars, the good end at the end of the world tour, to receive and then reach the last room by the allocated number of days/revolutions or be punished. While you play this randomness, the mode always promotes, is it just so frustrating, your fate be a way out of hand, especially for a sports title have.

Virtua Tennis 4 fit on the scale between casual and hardcore tennis title square between Mario tennis and top spin-4. While it for exact timing for the release of a swing questions don't, ask it before attempting one for proper placement behind the ball. Most players can quickly run to the Court and the most shots more gently on the network arch, so unless it is a very wide open, expect each shot, you will be returned make. In other words, you expect long rallies.

By running a specific recordings, as determined by your player's tennis style, build your dynamic pressure gauge, which if you fully, can in a complete, wide angled be released winner. But makes these shots come often enough to justify dampening all the other images in the standard arsenal. Some shot animations can also your players move back for too long, time which are better spent would be move back to the Center.

None of these are one huge complaints, but at least to play not enough for this reviewer to stop through career mode. The mini-games, rapid games, and multiplayer offerings are strong enough to keep busy most of someone. The number of create a character selection is bare and win the animations for the repetitive become quickly a match, but that will not prevent that arcade-oriented tennis fans get through the entire game. The weak Kinect offer, that near is a disaster with the lack shot variety and inadequate swing is recognition, not them either to deter.

If you in Virtua Tennis 4 want a realistic interpretation of tennis go, then you are already on the wrong court. Top spin 4 a much better simulation is without a doubt, but Virtua Tennis 4 is on the ball at a rapid pace and without too much pressure on the technical side. During both games more or less the same video game place is located, Virtua Tennis 4 less a one just when even simple, shot down the middle of the Court of Justice, which deeply aggressive winner of the line and several enough players in a competitive but friendly rally force lands.
