It's been quite a long time since the last First 10 Minutes, due to the lack of games and of publishers actually willing to send us some (and people wonder why we want to go to Gamersyde.com...). I received Virtua Tennis last week and since I'm still in the process of integrating the new capture hardware into my usual workflow it was the perfect test. A game I really recommend, especially to those who still have friends coming over from time to time. (Xbox 360 version)

Ok. just tried the demo for a little bit and it's FANTASTIC!
IN the demo you can choose Federer, Nadal, Sharapova and V.Williams. Graphics are superb but not mind blowing. Aniamtion is extremely well done and gameplay is so much fun. The AI actually wipped my ass for about 5 matches and I dint win a single point! lol Very challengin indeed. I gotta go to work now but Ill defintely exploit the demo a bit more tonight! The game is on preorder for me and I dont feel sorry I did. this is an absolute buy got any tennis fan or anybody for that matter. I am sure Xbox live play is going to be awesome!

Damn! I just realized there is no Rumble feedback at all. Shit I hope this is just because it's a demo. Otherwise, PS3 is to be blamed for this!

There is rumble feedback, you have to turn it on in the options.

You can disable the shit music by running your own music and turning the volume option down, but the crowd sounds and grass court sounds are really naff, hope they are better in the full game!

Why can't anyone seem to make Sharapova look correct? She looked rubbish in Top Spin 2 as well.

But then i don't like marmite either.

Very disappointing, atleast to me since I was expecting something completely different.

The sense of hitting a bal is much better in Top Spin, and the strokes are also much more refined in Top spin.
I haven't been able to hit the lines at all except for when I'm serving so that's not right either.
The animations are bad, way too quirky and it feels very awkward.

One thing I do like in VT3 that Top Spin doesn't have and that is the fact that you can put the CPU on the wrong foot, which is impossible in Top Spin as the CPU always knows where you're hitting the ball.
VT3 also has better graphics and more detail on the courts, but nothing mindblowing.

All that said, I do see how people can find this more fun because it's very arcadey, but I hadn't expected that.
I had never played a VT game before and people did say that VT has always been arcadey, but seeing how much effort they were putting in details like the courts and the players I really thought they were heading for a more realistic approach this time...guess not...

good thing I booted it up with minimal expectations, didn't totally enjoyed it, didn't totally hate it. Kept me entertained, Rent confirmed.

The demo is challenging, but difficult? :p
Only lost my first game, but i won the match 2-1. Since then i played a couple of games and didn't lose anymore games. Always 2-0. But it is fun. I hope the multiplayer will be even more fun. :)
