Virtua Tennis - Katsumoto Tatsukawa
Virtual Tennis with the stars of the time. I’m surprised that this is actually playable and plays like tennis.
The game is just too hard. You have to play well all the time to win.
Which makes sense, I guess, but tennis games are long, and you need to be able to make errors and be able to come back from them.
The arcade mode was beatable, but the main game mode ‘world tour’ was impossible. While you do have the ability to shorten the game to single sets, this in no way helps with the next problem.
The gameplay’s repetitiveness is unbearable. This might be an issue with the computer.
I imagine that with some variety of shots, head-to-head might be fun. Playing today was pretty funny to see the characters from tennis past in action again.
I would not recommend wasting your time with this one.
