 Trash!!!! September 25, 2008
Denisha L. Young (Bear, DE United States)
I like the sport of tennis, but this game is bad. I had Virtua Tennis and it was fun. I think these companies are in so much competition that they decide to hurt the consumer by making the games too realistic. I played this game for a a little bit and I'm very dissatisfied. I paid $60 for this game and should have kept my Virtua Tennis, at least that was fun and not too in depth. I think if your a serious avid tennis player then this is for you, but if your like me who just wants some fun and to smack the ball then don't buy TS3 get Virtua Tennis and where are the Williams sisters????
Ps. The players move so slow that you will lose if you play the computer and if you make a mistake then you don't get much of a chance to rectify the situation.
Good but September 25, 2008

The controls are a bit tricky, while great away from the net, its near impossible to play when your at the net. I give it A for effort on being innovative with the controls, they just need to work on it some more.
 Best tennis game to date September 4, 2008

This game is as good as it gets not only among tennis sims but for sports games in general. If you don't enjoy a challenge and don't want to have to work to excel at a game then this one definitely isn't for you, but it's very rewarding. At first the controls and timing are pretty frustrating and until you get it down you may not like it, but if you put in the effort to learn how to play it well you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a game you can just throw in and dominate then buy the Virtua Tennis series.
This game is very realistic and if you enjoy tennis it has exceptional replay value. The levels of difficulty are quite distinct and it takes a lot of time and effort to excel at the highest level. It's primary weaknesses are that it's missing some of the big names in tennis and that the career mode doesn't have training or practice options like some of the other tennis sims but it does start you out at the junior level which is unique. Overall this game is a great success and is definitely THE tennis game to buy for the PS3.
If your a tennis fan or are into sports games this is definately one you should own. August 19, 2008

Had it for a month now and still play it very regularly by myself and with a friend haven't got into the online much as yet. It's Best tennis sim out and so far the most impressive sports game since NBA2K8. I expected a bigger selection of top seeded players but you do have the create a player option.
The learning curve is highly over exaggerated and its pretty easy to get use.
