To the thread of the success of Virtua Striker, SEGA entrusted to his study Hitmaker (Harumi Azuma, Akira Fujiki, Takahiro Kajimoto, Yuko Nishimura, Kenji Shizumi and Yashuito Tanaka) the achievement of a video game of tennis for the recreational machine NAOMI. The video game distilled a quality without precedents, what king would end up by making it even more popular than the title based on the sport and that, in spite of being thrown in 1999, there are still to today many recreational lounges that have this video game. On the other hand, it would derive in versions for PC and Dreamcast with the extended game ways, and minor versions for Game Boy Advance and N-Gage.
Virtua Tennis is a video game led by eight real professional players of the highest level of the epoch: Carlos Moyá, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas, Tim Henman, Thomas Johansson, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Mark Philippoussis and Cédric Pioline. Each of the players has a series of proper characteristics, although in the way Arcade his skill will depend on the level in which we are.
This way, in this way, we will have to win in five parties different on surface (well-worn ground, grass and hard track) against one of these opponents chosen at random (in the end to face a fictitious top rival, King or Master's degree). In this way of game, according to which type of game we have developed, there will be granted to us a series of points that will define the ranking of human players. Also it is possible to realize this game way with doubles parties, in such a way that we will have eight fictitious support players.
In the domestic versions we will have, also, the way World Circuit, of a much more extensive duration. Here we will have up to ten different tracks for discovering (Australia, Paris, New York, London, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Berlin, Moscow, Barcelona and Tokyo), although in an alone beginning we will have two available ones, in addition to a shop with which to unblock new elements with our profit. As soon as he was elected our player, we it will have to evolve by means of competing in the different tournaments and realizing the training tests. With the money obtained with our victories we will be able to buy accessories, I access to new tracks and contracts with other tennis players to be able to take part in the doubles competitions.
In the parties in themselves, he emphasizes the character arcade from the game system, provoked for being a video game focused towards the recreational machines. Until now, almost all the video games of tennis were directed towards the simulation (what had left them almost of exclusive form for domestic devices), but in Virtua Tennis he competes for the direct action and the rapid game. In fact, the parties limit themselves to an only one set, with variable number of games and without politics of "tie break". This way, the type of more out-standing game will be that of attack, the victory being based in voleas and mates.
Virtua Tennis is registered by an excellent technical paragraph, very superior to other games of the saga Virtua seen until now. The design of the players not only was excellent and they were alike his "alter ego" real, but the personages move with an extraordinary gentleness and with very real gestures. To this it is necessary to add an excellent quality in the representation of the different tracks, especially as for the surface of the same ones.
After the success of this first delivery, in 2001 it would be thrown for recreational machines, Dreamcast and PS2 Virtua Tennis 2, very similar to the previous one but that also it was including players of the feminine circuit. In 2005 Virtua Tennis would come from exclusive form for PSP: World Tour, with many resemblances with the first delivery. The principal saga would continue in 2007 with Virtua Tennis 3 for recreational machines, PSP, PC, PS3 and XBox 360. The last delivery up to the date is Virtua Tennis 2009 for PS3, Wii, PC and XBox 360, implementing for the first time the way online.
