I love the Virtua Tennis 1 and 2 on SEGA Dreamcast and so with Virtua Tennis 3 for PS3 concidered to be nostalgia tennis games of all times until the Virtua Tennis 2009 on Wii just sucks ass for killing my favourites tennis franchises. I like to give a try to play a Virtua Tennis 4 on PSVita which comes with improved gameplay, better graphics and more tennis player. I have to say it's a mixed bag when I play this. I'm not saying this game is bad but what could SEGA do better on newer installiment. Let's begin to review this game. This game conteins a new tennis player, new stages, new mini games and some exclusive stuff for Vita.
Let's start of with gameplay. The gameplay is is'nt so bad when playing this, but seems to be a bit repetitive to play and sometime the touchscreen controls it may be unresponsive when the tennis player is not hitting the ball in close range, but it was not that bad overall.
The graphics are impressive in PSVita counterpart with good looking animation and visuals.
The music and sound are sound mixed. The music is absolute sucked compared to classics have a better music than this shit. The sound has a decent sound effects and voice announcer which is ok'ay.
The Special Features has a mini games, world tour, PSVita exclusive features and online muiltiplayer which is good to have it.
Advantages
Impressive graphics
Nice to have a mini games
Online battle
More tennis players
Disadvantages
Unresponsive touchscreen controls.
Repetitive gameplay.
Crappy Music compared to classics.
Slow player's abilities
Final Verdict
Let's see and find out my final opinion.
Gameplay 6.2/10 - Unresponsive touchscreen controls and repetitive gameplay.
Graphics 8/10 - Great looking animation and visuals.
Music and Sound 5.5/10 - Crappy music and ok'ay sounds.
Special Features 7/10 - Mini games, world tour, PSVita exclusive features and online muiltiplayer.
Overall 6.4/10 - As far it's better than the Virtua Tennis 2009 on Wii. It's quite disappointing that SEGA never get used with this installiment with some major flaws. Virtua Tennis 4 is an ok'ay game, I'm sure SEGA will do better in new installiment. I say it's worth to rent it before you made a decision whatever you like it or not.
