There are your usual array of perfunctory voice snippets (“Virtua Tennis…Foooour!”) meaty grunts, baleful female shrieks and the satisfying sound of expensive racquet on bouncing yellow sphere. SOUND: Virtua Tennis has never been a game famed for its music, and this is another instalment stuffed with mediocre generic tunes. Like some of the other ported titles we have looked at across the Vita launch, this is pretty much indistinguishable from its console counterpart, and testament to the power of the hardware. This is overwhelmingly satisfying when your shot whizzes down the line and past your floundering opponent but can take your mind off of proceedings if somehow the opposing player manages an improbable return. Even with the flamboyant Dynamic camera switched off, the game still has a tendency to slow down gameplay and suddenly zoom in when you are about to hit a particularly juicy stroke. It looks flashy, but when you are trying to concentrate on hitting the peak of the power meter to bang down a serve, it can be a little distracting. You can use the classic “TV” style Virtua Tennis view or a closer camera behind your player, but also have the option to switch to a Dynamic view, which occasionally zooms in during particular actions, such as serving. Impressive court settings are complemented by some excellent camera options. Virtua Tennis is another lovely looking title, featuring perfect likenesses of the real-life players that move and ape the mannerisms of the players far more effectively than Grand Slam Tennis, for my money.

GRAPHICS: Some of the Vita launch titles have some scarily nice looking visuals, leading me to wonder just what the future has in store when developers really start squeezing every drop of juice out of it. Have they managed to deliver the definitive handheld tennis experience? SEGA’s own AM3 studio is at the helm this time around, and has the benefit of a brand new console with some interesting tricks up its sleeve. It worked terrifically well as a launch title for the PlayStation Portable, with Sumo Digital, who enjoyed a great run in the mid to late noughties with their work on the OutRun as well as the Virtua Tennis intellectual properties (as well as developing another PlayStation Vita launch title, F1 2011), creating a game that was perfect fodder whilst on the move.

It is a series that, whilst featuring some officially licensed players and some semblance of realistic racquet-on-balls action, has never shied away from its coin guzzling arcade roots. Now it is the turn of Virtua Tennis 4, SEGA’s handheld conversion of the fourth instalment in their long running arcade style tennis franchise.
