Virtua Tennis 4 adds varied challenges and a reworked career mode, with optional Kinect support. The result is still a solid Virtua Tennis, but Top Spin 4 launched the same year steals some of its thunder on depth.
An arcade tennis game from Sega, Virtua Tennis 4 extends the accessible formula with a board game shaped career mode, a Match Momentum system rewarding spectacular shots and compatibility with motion peripherals. The snappy pace, the readability and the multiplayer fun stay its strengths. The limited depth and a slightly thin content set it apart from simulations. A convivial arcade tennis for fans of accessible sport and quick games among friends, with no simulation pretensions.
