Quantcast



We have yet another curiosity to add to the hilarious deck of oddball minigames in Virtua Tennis 3: A game mode where you exhert your aggressions against humanity by exploding balloons with tennis balls. It appears the goal of the game is to pop as many as you can within a given time range. It's kind of cool, I guess. But why not something more interesting that can fight back? We want a mini game where we have to fend off pit pulls, midgets, and trannies with our balls, dammit! 

We commend Sega for packing in diversity though, this could be fun stuff. Given the fact that they seem to have been announced long after the Wii launch, we're curious how much Wii Sports has influenced the inclusion of these cool added features. Realistic graphics aside, there's now plenty to love here. I'd hit it.

Honestly, after playing Wii Sports Tennis, how can you go back to traditional controlled tennis on a console?

When you suck balls at Wii tennis like I do, you begin to appreciate the regular gamepad.

And the graphics ain't that good either so there really is no incentive to play tennis on the 360 and to a lesser degree, PS3. Maybe they can fashion some sort of third party accesory ala GH2 to work with the tacked on motion control on the Sixaxis.

Its going to be interesting to see if this game sticks. On the Dreamcast it was revolutionary, but I'm not sure about this one. They might be looking at the same kind of reaction people are giving the recent Gran Turismo upgrades. We'll see

No way, that game would suck on the Wii. APC__ have you ever played this game, you would be dead tired after the first tourney, unless your a real tennis player that is.
But Damn this game is going to be awesome, i still play the second one on the Dreamcast for gods sake.
