Virtua Tennis 3 review
This game reminds us of how Sega brought top arcade quality sports games back to the arcades in the old days and got everyone around the machine at once to play. There are 21 professional tennis players in all each ranging in different playing abilities. Also, there are mini games , specifically modeled after the likenesses of bingo and bowling. For those season mode fanatics there is a World Tour mode. As far as controls go, any analog joystick should do fine (logitech dual action tested too), but this game specifically is enhanced for the XBOX 360 Controller. I would like to point out that this isnt truly enhanced for this controller in my extensive test if I made a mistake in the menu, I had to use the keyboard to get myself out of that menu and into the correct one. The graphics options are very configurable for those who meet the minimum requirements, and the game is friendly for those who have widescreen monitors at lower resolutions. You should at least keep everything at medium (default) with a screen resolution of at least 800x600 in order to play in an optimal manner Failure to meet these requirements can result in slow gameplay or system crashing / instability issues. (This means it wont run on Intel GMA sets sorry, dont bother)
Overall a fun game to play if you got the hardware to see it in all its beauty. Such a shame about no online play, but thats to be expected in a good portion of SEGA PC Games.
