I had Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast and PS2 and loved them both. I don't think i'll be investing in Top Spin, may aswell wait for the king of tennis games to arrive!

Thank god. I personally wasn't too keen on Top Spin 2, very over-hyped.

Cool, always loved Virtua Tennis. Will definitely hold off of TS2 now.

This is the first time i can remember, where i disagree with ya.

TS2 is a great game imo! and im not sure VT3 will beat it

il buy it and trade in this or topspin depending on which is better, at least in virtua tennis you can dive! topspin is very good though, but it lacks replays

I haven't played TS2 but I definitely think Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast is better than TS1 on the Xbox, for what that's worth. More intuitive controls, better camera angles and - essential in a sports game - a smooth high framerate. I was very disappointed when I tried TS1.

great news, nothing compares to VT, the mini games are also great

It's certainly not a bad game, but it's incredibly repetative and at times, surprisingly slow. I had Top Spin on the Xbox and I thought that was bad, Top Spin 2 is better and has a fantastic character creation.

However, it had a terribly user-interface thats not user friendly and that put me off straight away.

However, I always felt more interaction with the players in Virtua Tennis or even Smash Court Tennis, both of which were truly marvelous games.

i agree with the UI not as good as the first, but i thought TS was the best tennis game. i do like VT have it on my PSP i just think TS series has something else, cant put my finger on what

Same, I was going to treat myself to a new game too. Gues that means it'll be BF2 then

I am still impressed by the original Virtua Tennis graphics so this one is going to be stunning I reckon.
