“Virtua Tennis 4″ brings the best and worst parts of tennis video games to the table. It’s chock-full of big-name stars, with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Venus Williams among the brightest. The game sports a fully fleshed-out career mode that requires you to manage both your character’s on- and off-court personas. On top of that, motion controls have been injected, and they make you feel completely immersed on the court.
On the other hand, “Virtua Tennis 4” takes it for granted that you have played the previous incarnations of the game, as there is little instruction on how to play. The early gameplay comes across as a bit too difficult — not being able to have a fair bit of success at the beginning of your career makes you feel less motivated to keep playing.
