Virtua Tennis™ Challenge

This game is among the best you can find for a realistic tennis game experience. That said, I have, on several occasions, come very close to throwing my phone against the ground in utter frustration. The reason for this is due to the game being unfairly rigged at the highest tournament levels. When your purposely hit shots go inexplicably towards rather than away from your opponent, or when when your opponent miraculously manages to return an otherwise unreturnable shot, there is no other explanation.

This is a game worth investing, great UI, good graphics and some cool action on the court. Two things would make it a legendary game: 1. Adding few more events and choice of creating own avatars. 2. We need even difficulty levels as it fluctuates unevenly from player to player irrespective of their ranking. But you know what, this is one hell of a Tennis Game, so 5 stars.

BUT.... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLAYER CUSTOMISATION... I CAN NO LONGER CHANGE THE COLOR AND DESIGN OF MY TENNIS RACQUET, OR MY CLOTHES. WHAT GIVES? WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING ALL THIS MONEY IF I CAN'T SPEND IT? PLEASE ADD THAT BACK ON. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE AND YOU KNOW IT.

Admitted, it is addictive. My 1st review back in mid 2013 was 5-star. Now, I think 3 star is me being generous. Let's start: dropshot is a big fail, as is lob. While I've become perfect at anticipating the AI and Theron Tenniel, you still can't tell if a return is to the forecourt or a lob. Emm...what's all the money for when u can't use it? My player still bears his own name during career mode. Is that a scoreboard problem? Theron is a bug. Fix him.

It's the biggest load of s*@t . The outcome of major a match is predetermine. They even pick your rival before you play your first game. It would be fun if you were able to play it out. I can turn on my T.V. and watch tennis for free. Instead of pay for a game, and being mislead into believing that I was in control.

It has been 6mos since I bought the game and frankly, I'm still loving it. What I would want to see though (like most of the games today) is online interaction. And also the earned money in the game. Wish I could use it to improve my avatar say its looks. Will be awesome to if they will add doubles tournament

Pretty close to a tennis simulator I have found and honestly the ONLY tennis game worth touching. But i use the analog buttons instead of swipe with shots. I found it a lot easier than analog. I've finished it twice on very hard. The only improvements would be shots being able to hit out easier. Its not hard to keep the ball in play, besides that its great. KEEP IT GOING PLEASE!!! EXCELLENT TENNIS GAME!!

It is a really good game. But I think one thing that you can add on to this game is the ability to purchase a racquet or shoes or what ever that can help your player to move quickly or hit harder. I just don't know what those price money are for, if you can't even use them in the game.

I have never written a review for an app until now and this will be my only review for an app. This game is so frustrating once u get to the top level. Game cheats by always putting your ball out, running at the speed of light to hit an impossible shot, always knows where you are going to hit the ball, lags player on purpose. Would be 5 stars if it were more realistic, not saying easy to win, just no cheating

This is a fun app, entertaining, and with very good graphics. Those giving it low reviews because of the price don't know what things are worth (they expect everything for free or for one dollar). This game is well worth the 5 bucks.. I would give it the fifth star if it had real players like Nadal, Federer, etc..

I use the buttons because they feel more arcade like. So much more easier to direct shots. Can beat theron 6-1 multiple times Still challenging. One complaint I changed my character name but the background scoreboard says Fernando Sanchez

There is no upgrade system. Cannot spend money earned on anything other than enterring tournemounts?? Why is there no rackets (Increse shot power or angled shots) or apparel options to upgrade?? Why cannot I upgrade my shot to something unique like a backhand down the line?? (I use gamepad setting for my player, best option I think just incase some of you dont like touch controls. Its responsive and works)

Graphics are good, easy controls and fairly nice Gameplay. However, this Game will test your PATIENCE. Your player will not be as quick as it should be when you are playing against the Top Seeds. To make it worse, there will be a point when your player would hit the ball straight at the opponent irrespective of where you wanted him to hit it or your player will not play the shot at all. Having said that, you will have to play extraordinary tennis to get to the NUMBER 1 rank.

Dont buy it. It starts out as a great fun realistic game. But as the game progresses the developers have found an ingenious way to make the game harder. The shots that you make start going to unintended places at unintended speeds. You basically start to randomly lose control. On top of that, your opponent starts making runs and shots that cannot possibly be explained so predicted rationally. Its a shame because its actually got a good gaming machine. But incredibly sloppy work in the harder levels.

I really like this game. I started playing this since i use my samsung galaxy s2, now im using htc one x. But i noticed that the quality of the images are sometimes pixilated. Why is it like that? And update it please. Would love to play womens tournament too.

Eventually, the contrived rivalry between Tenniel and you becomes more of a washout. The computer becomes too good. Tenniel becomes a super god who makes nearly every shot from any position on the court with full power and extremely frequent super shots. Even if you play really well, it's not good enough. The computer also sabotages you by making it seem like your shots are ill-timed or poorly placed. This only happens when playing Tenniel. No longer fun.

update 04 feb 14: this game does not work on LG flex. orig review: Works on all my devices except xoom2 but the free version works tho. Pls pls fix it. Steep learning curve but once mastered this is by far and away the best Tennis game on phone! Wouldd be good if there is a way to pause the instruction screen that is shown before the match though. Also can't seem to control the angles on strokes and especially serve. Need to include option for flat strokes too. Dev might want to consider using the gyroscope to allow tilts to control direction like other games. Oh and let us save midmatch too. Otherwise, terrific fun and well worth the price!

This game is incredible!! The graphics are awesome!! Someone's review said it didn't work on their Nexus 7? I have the Nexus 7 (1st Gen) and it runs perfect!! I don't have my Nexus 7 rooted, so I don't know if that would be his/her problem. Anyhow, this game is so awesome!! I'm so glad I bought it. I play it all the time!! Great job Dev's!!

I almost regrets buying this game. It could have been a perfect game if not for the fact that you cannot control your players at SPT 1000. Why can't you just make the game harder as it is and let me control my player? That makes the whole concept very stupid. I will remove it from my tablet unless it is updated.

Im tired of this, it will force close in the middle of the game then make you lose everything! At least if it culd save the game from where it stopd that wuld work, but u gotta start all over again...that sucks! If the developer culd do something bout it i wuld pay more for that and give five star. Btw i love the game. I just need this problem that bothers me to be fixed.. I have an ASUS Slider 101

Graphics are above average, however it could be better. The sky at Prague turns white during replays; also, the guys standing around the tennis court dissappear during replays. The environment is pretty realistic looking but still not great. The audience look like a blob of squares with close examination. The gameplay is ok; the controls are a little inaccurate sometimes. Most of the competitors are easy to beat so it is easy to climb up in the ranks. I would give five stars if these issues were fixed.

Ive been ranked #1 since Oct 2013 this is my record Win / Loss 337 - 10 Championships Won 73 Tiebreak. 12 - 10 Top 10. 224 - 8 Finals. 73 - 7 Clay. 74 - 1 Grass. 87 - 0 Indoor 29 - 2 Hard. 147 - 7 it is vary hard to beat therron however it is possible you have to raise the level in your game because he is your #1 rival and when you become #1 only defend your titles at the master 1000 and the slams to hold your points good luck to all!

They should stop selling game anymore.... Controls become very much rigid whenever we are winning... And our opponent become superhuman .. And can take ball from anywhere in the court... Total nonsense... Game should be prepared by such a person who have little knowledge about the game... It's not every tom dick and Harry work. To prepare this game.... Absolutely useless

The developer has made the game and forgot it they never give any update or try to improve the game the music in the game is like 20 years old and the modes are limited. Graphics of the game are really good it looks like playing on psp other then need to updated regularly.

Tried botg swipe and on-screen game pad. Both are still under-developed. Gamepad froze several times and overall performance is disappointing from a game that I used to like. Please fix!

But I get bored with the same players all over again and the maches like Us open and so forward.Please make a hundred players more and let us also create our own player.Oh and please make more maches awesome.Further is everything awesome

The worst game ever i can't believe I wasted my money on this piece of crap I wish I could give it a negative star please do not buy this horrible game beware save your money

Almost feels like the full console experience but it's lacking the customisation of the character and trademark music! It would be nice if you guys added online multiplayer too. Other than that it's the best tennis game on Android.

This is the best tennis game on the market. I enjoy the difficulty of the players, but I am starting to win every time. A few tweaks could be made, such as adding more players that all are decently challenging. Maybe you should more tournaments as well. The biggest thing I believe should be changed is the ability to play as all the SPT players and not just Jovanovic, Sanchez, Stocker, Porter, Cruz, Tarantino, Belmondo, Kruger, Monreale, and Shen. Please consider these suggestions and I will rate 5 stars.

The game is the very best tennis app in any pad or cell device ever, and whoever really knows Tennis would not complain about cheating, but rather become a number 1 Rank for over 6 month now like me. Net worth acquired usd 680 Million. The game in hard mode requires more skills which prepares looser like you to be closer to my level lol. Sega, can you make it possible to play online and perhaps make it legal to play for money prizes? I d quit my job and be World nbr 1. Lol

Great game once you are used to the controls. Multiplayer is bad. If one of the 2 players receives a call game stops and cant be resumed. Also ability to play online vs bluetooth would be great. But still amazing game

I love playing this game when I'm bored and then can't stop!! I've been looking for a good tennis game on my phone and have now found it

Everytime I play a big tournament I win them all I am rank 1 and I had 47000 spt points I have played about 6 major tournaments and won all but my spt points are now at 39000 baring in mind you get a minimum of 1000 spt points for every tournaments you win but most are 2000 spt points sort it out please

Game is still interesting enough to make me play repeatedly after so many days.. The main glitches still continue for a game that was launched so long ago.. Why can't the developers make updates, which is what is frustrating me 1. There is no game option to adjust sound so this makes multi tasking a problem 2. Game works only on one direction, the screen doesn't rotate 3. Many times the game would fail to load

One minute you have total control and are dominating play and then all the sudden your opponent becomes a brick wall... such a shame because it was a really good game before this happened! Uninstalling for sure!

Hi, I love your game. I use it on my Galaxy note 10.1. Please consider an additional dialog box to ask the user if they are sure they want to leave any tournament. Sometimes accidents happen and a button is pressed by mistake and you get kicked out of a tournament you were winning and had to forfeit your entrance fees. Please. Please fix it. I HAVE LOST OVER 3 MILLION DOLLARS OF TOURNAMENT FEES TO THIS. Please also consider, customization of our characters. We win millions but we got nowhere to spend it.

Loved playing in the beginning. Excellent graphics and palyabilty. But like any game after having played it for so long there should be room for progression. Once you master the game it never allows you to move ahead. The controls never seems to be responding playing against master players. That is absurd...you never have a chance to defeat them. Try to bring new fixes. Otherwise unreccomentable.

Really frustrating game. Best graphic, most realistic of all other similar games, but still so difficult to play. But why the main player does not develop his skills and experience, like it is so for the rival Taniel. From one point of the game the rival is unbeatable... Kind of strange and annoying...

Once you hit the top ten and when you enter the championships no matter how good you are the game will make sure you lose. It will freeze your player from moving and hitting the shot you desire. Give you faults and double faults on serves you have perfected. The developer should be ashamed of himself for engaging in such tactics. Make the game fair and ditch the cheating and you will get 5 stars.

I am playing this game since a year I am so bored all the same stuf,same arenas same opponents no online Competitions nothing. Everyday I am fed up winning all the time,, I mean you guys don't even bother or give a damm to your game,,atleast you must provide an update to this game so that the interest remains the same.so pissed off!! Reply and take a look asap!
