Virtua Tennis 2009 was a disappointment for me. Maybe it’s because I’m a rabid tennis fan and player and I wanted more from the series this year, or maybe it’s because I feel like I.

It is part of the Virtua Tennis series, following Virtua Tennis 3 and was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and Microsoft Windows on 2009.

Reception[edit]
The game received a somewhat mixed reception. Metacritic scored both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions at 70%,[7][8] and 68% on the PC.[9]Play UK called it 'the best in the series so far', but also admitted that 'the action may feel far too familiar to owners of Virtua Tennis 3'. IT Reviews said it was 'a terrific tennis game yet, conversely, an unnecessary one', also concluding that 'it adds too little to Virtua Tennis 3'.[10]Eurogamer pointed out that the online multiplayer had been improved, but otherwise complained about a 'general lack of ambition'.[11]
There were concerns that the competition was too easy, taking as much as 10 hours of gameplay before facing a competent opponent. Even the online action often suffered from lag and jitteriness and players 'teleporting' to instantly jump across the screen.[12]Impulse Gamer gave Virtua Tennis 2009 7 out of 10 saying that '[Virtua Tennis 2009] is incredibly familiar if you’ve played Virtua Tennis 3, and seeing as that came out three years ago it’s not particularly a good thing.'[13]
