  Is this game better than TopSpin that was available for the original xbox? No... it is however a recommended game to have on your list of steam games as I find it's the best tennis game there is on here. I do recommend this game though carefully as some will not like the positioning of the athletes needed to hit the tennis ball. The game can get quite finnicky. I'll start with the user interface which many of you will go nuts as soon as I say "it uses the windows game for live" app. Once you bypass this (by various methods mentioned on the internet, or if you have flatout ultimate carnage use that to get games for windows live set up prooperly) the interface is actually quite nice. There are different modes to choose from such as multiplayer online as well as local, world tour mode (career where you can create a character), exhibition, and arcade mode. I'm not familiar with other virtua tennis games but this virtual tour mode is pretty decent. Not the greatest, but not the worst either. The plane ticket setup for how many spaces you can move on the world map is interesting. Because of this, you can miss or get to certain training mini game segments which are fun and go away from boring traditional practice, get interviewed, rest up at a hotel, take on a doubles or singles tournament, have an exhibition, or simply land on a blank space. World tour can keep a real tennis fan interested in the game for a while. The [b]gameplay[/b] itself isn't that bad, and the animations are done actually quite nicely. Too bad there weren't more done though. Topspin as I mentioned earlier destroys this game by far when it comes to fun or authentic tennis. I find the varied shots Topspin allows for is a lot more than what's given here. None the less though, lob shots, drop shots, slice shots, and (apparently I don't really notice) top spin shots happen as well. Topspin was notorious for showing actual top spin, I don't quite see it here. This sometimes also feels like a game of pong at times where there feels like there is limited control in where you can pick your corner. The serve is fine but the actual rallying feels a bit limited. I find it's due to the lack of shot types to say the least. Another problem that some gamers may find is that the game is EXTREMELY peculiar in the position of your player in an attempt to hit the ball. Sometimes when moving in diagonal directions I find even when I press a button, my player will simply ignore the command and keep moving. The [b]graphics[/b] are decent and is what's expected from a tennis game. Topspin again takes it here because it had the opportunity for you to contorl cut scenes and handle how your player took a missed point. You were able to press X Y A or B to choose between look mad or get angry and throw your raquet cutscene. Here, the players celebrate sometimes the same and there is no choice like that... no real emotions. The [b]sounds[/b] are decent and music consistently plays in the background making it sound like an arcade game. I turned off the music so it sounds like a real tennis match. I recommend this game in everyone's library but with extreme caution. There are a lot of people having issues with games for windows live app/installation/login as well as some straight hate this game over previous version. I did quite the research before I bought this one even though it was on sale.

  I guess I would recommend it.. The game itself is fun and it is what it is... tennis.. Single player works and some people can do multiplayer... How do you get the game itself to work? If you're getting the windows live error... go to your uninstall section of your PC and uninstall windows redistribution and windows marketplace... they are old or something.. download the new one... http://www.xbox.com/en-US/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient ... my problem though is multiplayer.. after waiting for update issues and awhile for my account to install, which I figured would happen... I tried to play with my friend. She made her own clubhouse (multiplayer lobby) but it never showed up nor would it let me in through invites...public or private... There were other open clubhouses... yay! So I thought... we joined one...went to play a match... and it kicked us... Nothing online about this issue so yeah >.> TLDR: You suck Pros - It's tennis... it plays like tennis.. has a tutorial... My friend is loving it Cons - Online may not work for you after downloading your profile and stuff

  I have Windows 8.1 in my computer and this game doesn't work. When I run the game it print the message: failed start games for windows. This game install GFW on my compuer but microsoft have closed GFW in the last year, so the program won't start and can't even create a offline profile. I don't know how a game that doesn't work can be on sale, if steam can't solve the problem I wanna my money back.

  Unfortunately the game is broken due to the old GFWL. It used to be a decent tennis game, but alas. This is also a reminder why I usually don't buy games that have 3rd party DRM/accounts/launchers, they break the game after it's no longer supported.

  it requires games for windows live client. after choosing continue without saving, game starts. virtua tennis 4 is a trade mark of sega. male versus female match is more appreciated. you can adjust the music and sound levels in the options menu. then continue with the exhibition. choose game difficulty easy or hard. the tennis courts from different cities of the world re clay, grass and hard. also there re advertisements. each player has different dress colour and scream sound. for the keyboards z and x re hard hitters and c is the soft hitter. the sound of audiences makes game more exciting. start with the serve. if you shoot at the last moment its a critical shot. run to the center line and wait for the opponents move. before the shot, holding the keyboard button for a while makes stronger hits. coming closer to the net or moving away from net, creates different destiny sequence. shoot the ball to left or right or center. while match point and break point, players make different expressions. after the match finishes players congratulate each other. the visual graphics, music and sound quality of the game is good. live and online matches require sign in. the other match types re world tour, arcade, practice, party. my club for the characters' progress and changing the settings. its one of the best computer game ever made.

  I really loved Virtua Tennis since the first time I played it on the Sega Dreamcast. I bought this one here in 2012, where there still was support for Games for Windows Live. But since Microsoft abandoned their client and SEGA didn't even bother to update their games in any way, this game stopped working correctly. YOU CAN NOT PLAY THIS GAME, UNTIL YOU DO USE A XLIVELESS MOD OR USE ANY NOCD CRACK! Using the Microsoft Games for Windows marketplace client doesn't work here! You need the old client, which is not really working with never clients and is a high security risk for you system! It is a shame, that SEGA doesn't update this game just so it is Games for Windows Live less!

  It's not that the game is bad, but I can't recommend it to those like me who are attached to the more classical "world tour" mode it used to have, that and that sort of board like way the world tour has... nah, can't recommend it. That aside the game is rather good, but it'll get really boring after not much time spent on it. A shame the series hasn't continued, still remember playing the old virtua tennis.

  Great (if slightly dated) tennis game, if you like that kind of thing. Be warned it takes a little extra work to set up because Steam and/or Windows Live sucks, but you can do it, and it's worth it.
