Virtua Tennis 3 Impressions

VT3.jpgThe cry that games are too easy may have just sunk in with the developers of Virtua Tennis 3. I played 12 matches against the CPU and managed to score one time….yeah thats right….one time. You might think that I just suck or need to get used to the game, but in reality VT3 is a really hard and less then impressive game. Games should be challenging but VT3 is not challenging it’s just plain old frustrating, which makes it not a whole lot of fun.

Visually the game is hit and miss. Animations are solid but the crowd and some textures are not up to next gen snuff. If the developers wanted to get people excited about this game then they have failed miserably, because after playing this demo I realized how much better Wii tennis really is. So I will stick playing with my Mii until a competent next gen tennis game arrives.

    I have to agree with you here. The only place I expect games to be hard is at the arcade, because, you know, they have to make money off of you. On the other hand, console games should stay fun while not stupid easy, unless they are suppose to be arcade ports. It’s a balancing act, but also a matter of taste because certain games just require a different mindset and the learning curve may also differ. Perhaps VT3 is one of those titles which is difficult to learn but easy to master.

    Keep in mind though it’s the demo. They might have it defaulted to hard. They do tend to do that. I didn’t like the fact that you had to dive after every ball though.

    I just finished downloading the demo and I will give it a test drive tomorrow. I remember when the first Virtua Tennis came to the PC and it was just right. Sad to see that they decided to make it supremely difficult.
