Game developer Sega is not about to be left behind in the global tennis phenomenon by coming up with its latest racquet game – the Virtua Tennis 2009 edition! Available for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintento Wii and PC later this year. Too bad there’s no Playstation Portable (PSP) version coz that’s what I have now.
Here are the features of the game as stated in the official SEGA website:
Key Features:
• New World Tour & Online Rankings – Take your career online and compete for the ultimate title of ‘Virtua Tennis Champion’ with the new PLAYSTATION 3 system and Xbox 360 online ranking system. With prize money you earn in online tournaments, you can purchase over 800 shop items in the new Tennis Store and upgrade your character.• New Players / Courts – Play as or against over 20 of the world’s top players, including seven new to Virtua Tennis and three legends. All-new arenas and the officially licensed Davis Cup provide the most realistic tennis competition to date.
• New Player Creation System – You now have full control over facial, body and clothing customization, as well as the depth to populate the game world with hundreds of unknown opponents.
• More Court Games – Playing alone or with up to three friends compete in 12 mini-games, five completely new, and upload your hi-scores on the worldwide rankings in games such as Zoo Feeder and Pirate War.
• Improved Gameplay – Courtside action is better than ever, with extensive updates to the famous arcade-style Virtua Tennis match engine, as well as 3D crowds and a more realistic courtside experience.
