Virtua Tennis 3 – PSP review
There’s always an epithetic moment in every Virtua Tennis game. It’s the moment when two games down and without a point to your name you try something radical to get yourself out of an awful rut. And it works! It may be a delicate drop shot or a blistering return into the body of your opponent but just one fantastic shot is all it takes for you realise that Virtua Tennis replicates the difficulty, skill and sheer frustration of the sport better than any other title. While Virtua Tennis 3 starts out easy the level of difficulty ramps up quickly and you’ll soon have to draw upon on your shots: lob, slice, top-spin and powershot on both forehand and backhand to keep winning vital ranking points.
