 Great Tennis Game !! Apr 16, 2008
I have an Xbox 360 and this game was a treat on this console. Absolutely amazing graphics and game-play.
Easily the best tennis game ever made.I have played Top Spin which is also awesome but this one is right up with the best as well.
Go for it. You will love it !

Exactly what was promised...a moderately next gen update to Virtua Tennis Oct 09, 2007
My dilemma prior to getting this was that I had great memories of Virtua Tennis and Tennis 2k2 on my Dreamcast, and none of the versions since had delivered the goods. Sega Tennis on my xbox was alright but in no way an improvement over the DC originals.
The reason this was a problem for me is due to the fact that I purchased Top Spin for the 360 a short while ago, and was profoundly disappointed with it. I can understand how people that look for timing based moves on every aspect of gameplay and who enjoy a training system that can only be described as punishing would prefer that one, but honestly it just felt like its attempts to make the glorified pong of virtua tennis "realistic" fell flat and turned gameplay into a stressful chore.
VT3 excels in recapturing most of my conditions for success, from an enjoyable career mode (no switching to the other side of the court for single player! hooray!) to the always entertaining zombies-with-tennis-rackets graphics. The latter is a feature in my book, as I find the prospect of being defeated by the undead much more of an incentive to play hard than any point system or ranking could ever manage.
Some problems would be the tendency of rallies to turn into endurance matches and for some shots to be significantly more difficult to employ usefully (I'm looking at you, lob), but that has a way of becoming less of an issue as you grasp the subtleties of the gameplay. It's what I liked about the original: understanding the system added depth, but messing around and relying on your hand eye coordinaiton would get you pretty far as well.
So you get the core gameplay, which works for the most part, and updated uncanny valley graphics, and xbox live competition. It's exactly what I was looking for.

 V3T not nearly as good as Top Spin Sep 22, 2007
I don't understand how an old game like Top Spin 1 for the normal xbox could be better in a lot of ways than this, but it is.
My mayor concern are the sound and the graphics of the game, they are very very poor.
The play of the game is very boring in easy mode but if you change it you would get beat by any decent player
I have only played mine for 2 days and i'm already looking to sell it and buying top spin 2

Best Multiplayer Tennis Jun 08, 2007
Best Tennis game for online play, with very fast technical playing and doubles feature.

Terrible Game Jun 01, 2007
I decided to sell this game right after I played it once. The gameplay is just terrible. It's too easy to hit the ball, and it's just too unrealistic. By simply pushing one button, you can almost cover the entire court. It's not what the tennis game is in reality. So I would say if you really wanna enjoy the tennis game, go for Top Spin 2. Even though Top Spin 2 has been almost one year old, it's still way much better.
