Item Description

What does a perfect rally feel like? In Virtua Tennis 3 it is the moment a cross-court topspin forehand pulls your opponent wide, the return floats back and you are already moving to the net to put it away. Sega's arcade tennis series built its name on that instant readability, and this 2007 PlayStation 3 release brought it to HD with native 1080p presentation and the real stars of the era, from Roger Federer and Andy Roddick to Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams on the cover.

The controls are easy to learn: topspin, slice and lob, with placement decided by timing and direction. Underneath sits a surprising amount of depth, because getting into position early lets you hit harder and wider, serves can be powered up and aimed, and the AI punishes lazy court coverage. The PS3 version even allows motion control through the Sixaxis controller for players who want to try it.

World Tour is where the hours vanish. You create your own male or female player, start ranked 300th in the world and climb toward number one by entering tournaments and building your abilities through academy drills and the series' famously silly training minigames. These court games turn footwork and accuracy practice into scored challenges, so improving your player never feels like homework. Exhibition and tournament play cover quick sessions, and doubles with friends on the couch is where the arcade roots show most.

Virtua Tennis 3 began life on Sega's Lindbergh arcade hardware, and the home version layered on World Tour and the minigames that made the series a living-room favorite. Sega later reworked it as Virtua Tennis 2009, but this is the entry where the series made its jump to high definition, and its pick-up-and-play feel is exactly what more simulation-minded tennis games lost along the way.
