If you are nostalgic for some oldschool sega fun, these are the games for you. There is something so unique about these very arcadey and very japanese sega titles. The upbeat music, the calm and cool menus, the warp sound as you move through the menus and best of all the way the announcer shouts virtua tennis as the game starts. Super Monkey ball fans and Dreamcast owners will know what I am talking about. Virtua Tennis, or Power Smash as it's called in Japan, is an arcade style tennis series, which doesn't take itself too seriously. It has the standard tennis modes and a bunch of fun mini games to play. If you are looking for some fun with friends and the occasionally non commital round on the courts this one is for you. However, if you are looking for depth, this is probably not for you. The controls are very simple, there are not to many different tactics or shot types, the main campaign is very similar to top spin, but again simplified without the in-depth stat building mechanics. On top of this, there is not a great deal of progession between games. Virtua Tennis 3 holds up pretty well against Top spin 2, but there is a pretty big gulf between Virtua Tennis 4 and Top Spin 4. All these factors make it a worse series, but they are still fairly fun to play and really saved but the top notch audio. If you are looking at picking up a game from this series, you can't really go wrong with any of them, but I would probably pick 3 as my favourite and likely the cheapest of the bunch nowadays.
