Amazon.co.uk Review
Video games publishers have an uncanny knack of ensuring that the only time of year a new tennis game is never released is during the middle of Wimbledon. Of course, in the case of Virtua Tennis: World Tour they had to wait until the PSP hit the shops, so its autumnal appearance is largely unavoidable. What is curious though, is that despite being regarded by many as the best serious tennis simulation, the Virtua Tennis series has only made fleeting appearances on the current generation of consoles. It's getting in on the ground floor with the PSP though, with what will likely become the definitive portable tennis game. The gameplay is largely the same as the previous Dreamcast and PS2 versions with an apparently simplistic arcade style control system revealing surprising depth and subtlety over time. It translates well to the PSP controls and the graphics are almost identical to the home console versions. Virtua Tennis features three basic game modes -- World Tour, Exhibition and Tournament -- plus four mini-games and a 16 player (although obviously not all on the same court) wireless multiplayer mode. You can create and customise your own character but 14 "real" tennis players are also included, such as Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova, Lleyton Hewitt, Lindsay Davenport and Tim Henman. Obviously you'll need at least a passing interest in real tennis to really appreciate the game, but as long as that's the case there's no need for new balls here. -- Harrison Dent

 fast, smooth and fun, fun, fun!!! July 28, 2008

I recently wanted to get rid of my PSP because I was so bored of all it's racers, uninventive rpg's and same old action games. However after some persuasion from my girlfriend -whom didnt want me to get rid of the PSP cos of all the money I had spent on it- I decided to hang onto it for a lil longer atleast. That's when I decided to buy this game, I must say what a great choice I made listening to my girlfriend lol! This game is great fun, you can play it in short bursts of 5mins or play it for a couple of hours at a go. There's a good variety of shots which actually do affect each point. World Tour mode is very impressive and challenging. All in all a brill game and it has brought new life into my old PSP...
virtua tennis world tour- what a game! July 30, 2006

First of all, if you're looking for a game that is worth more than the high price which seems to be associated with most video games thesedays, then you won't be dissapointed. It has everything you look for in a game. The matches are addicitve and gripping aswell as being great fun. Easy to pick up, and far from boring.
The world tour is excellent and really makes the game. Design and dress your players and improve your ability in all areas including: volleys, surves, strokes and movement. As you get better you can enter into more and more tournaments which improve your ranking untill you reach the number 1 spot! Earn money from winnings and purchase clothes and accesories, aswell as a doubles player which you need to play in doubles tournaments.
If there was to be one glich in the game it would be the small amount of players there are on offer to play with. All the main players are there but the lower ranked players aren't. However, this is far from enough to let down the game. Buy it!

This is an awsome game with amazing graphics and really fun to play. its muchbetter than the ps2 version with added players such as Andy Roddick, Roger Federa and Sharapova!!! well worth buying for long journeys or when your just bored, you can use the feature which enable you to create your own player and climb your way to the top by training you player.!!!!!!!
great game for PSP June 24, 2006

This was the first game I owned for PSP. What first attracted me to it was after playing the arcade game and spending over 30 pounds on that after getting so addicted!
If you've played the arcade machine of this game and you liked it then you'll love this too! The graphics are fantastic and the 'world tour' mode is incredibly fun!
Unlike some games, this game has mini games beside it's main playing mode. This means after completing the 'world tour' (which take a while) you can have fun with this game still. Even better still if 2 of you own this game you can play each other using AD HOC mode which allows singles or doubles. Upto four of you can play if you all own a copy.
This game is fun, challenging and never gets boring! Virtua Tennis is the best tennis game I have ever played.
The only bad point is the lack of players and not being able to unlock new ones. You can create you're own and have to make a male and a female for the 'worlf tour' part of the game. There's lots of clothes and accessories and courts and rackets you can buy after earning enough money.
 Tennis is a bit boring , but this game rules ! March 26, 2006

I got a psp and was wondering what game to get with it , i was put off harry potter and crash tag team racing by bad reviews , but this had excellent ones and rightly so. I think you would have to have some interest in tennis , but still its great fun. Its got such simple controls , yet delivers great shots. After just opening i was wondering whether it would be too easy , but its just right . I recommend playing 5 or 6 ( or more , i played about 15 ) exhibition or tournament games before you do world tour mode as this requires skill. At the start of world tour make sure you play any possible games as this will raise your rank , if you don't , youll have to wait a while. When you do the training games , youll be thinking this games crazy , its well hard , but itll get easier in time ( unless your rubbish) just keep practising. So this game has got a good lasting effect. Great game , i give it 4 1/2 stars !
