BORING - By: ant, 15 Aug 2010 
Played this for about an hour & was very bored. You go up hundreds of ranks of repetative matches that bore you to death before you get a challenge on this game. it sucks..........................
Stay away from this game - By: cristianpixio, 28 Jun 2010 
The smeplicity of this game is embarassing, I'm 1stin the world ranking after 1 week of game (and I'm not a PS3 addicted), it's too simple, I won EVERITHING without the necessity to play again some tournament.
Bad, very bad game
Recensione in italiano di Virtua tennis 2009 - By: Fabrizio Cipolletti, 26 Apr 2010 
Non moltissime novità rispetto al 2007, la giocabilità è migliorata, soprattutto per il supporto di rete.
La grafica è su livelli medi, anche se da un gioco del 2009 su ps3 ci si aspetterebbe molto di più.
In buona sostanza un gioco divertente che vale tutti i suoi 23 di costo, ma non oltre. In Italia ancora lo vendono a 64...una vera assurdità.
Complimenti ad amazon che vende giochi al giusto prezzo!!
40-Love.. well maybe 40-Like - By: Bruce Banner, 18 Dec 2009 Deuce! That small word which lets everyone know that the scoresin a tennis match are currently tied sums up how I feel about this latest release of Virtua Tennis compared to its previous instalment.
By know you have read the reviews, possibly even played the game & are still unsure about it.. well thats how I feel anyway. I'm not sure if this is a sequelin the usual sense of the word more a slight upgrade. Not that there is anything wrong with sticking to a tried & tested formula as the boys/girls at Konami have found out to their cost with Pro Evo.
Therefore the positives of this game remainin large the same, exciting, easy to play, good sound & graphics. However, where this game falls is the lack of polish. Examples of this are the poor tournament award ceremonies which seem to have been put together at the last minute as the resounding click as the short animated sequence ends is testament to. Also there appears to be a minor issue with the screen `jerking' on some shots as it seems to struggle to keep up to pace with the game.
There are also a few extreme tennis fans that argue that you should be able to play full matchesin the tournament mode. This would be great if Virtua Tennis 2009 is the one game that you have got as I for one know that the game was long enough to playin my opinion.
There is also the age old comparison between realism & fun! Granted VT 2009 is not the realistic game as you will find it near on impossible to hit a shot too long or not to get itin court unless it is slammed at 155 mph at your player, but this adds to the fun of it all & I'm sure it is good to introduce novices to the game.
Fun mini games make a welcome appearancein some cases & downright frustratingin others as you are supposed to guess what you have to doin order to successfully complete the relevant stage
Minor gripes aside I think this is a solid effort from Sega but hopefully more time & effort will be sent on the next Virtua Tennis giving a more polished product. The rebranding of the Virtua Series with the relevant year I hope is not a sign of sub standard releases to be churned out on a yearly basis.
Virtua tennis 2009 - By: Nuno Santos, 04 Nov 2009 
Its a great game for people who like tennis. In my opinion are missing a lot of good tennis players but that is one of the few problems of the game becausein general is pretty good
