Summary

Virtua Tennis 4 is an action-packed tennis game that emphasizes quick matches rather than realistic simulation. At the core of the game is the career mode, where players design their own character. The objective is straightforward: climb to the top within four seasons. Players have multiple ways to enhance their tennis skills, such as participating in training sessions (like an arcade-style mini game involving collecting eggs) to boost stats, purchasing new outfits with prize money, or competing in matches. The mode's menu is designed in the style of a board game. Other game modes include single matches, party mode (for playing the previously mentioned mini games), and arcade mode (where the aim is to win as many consecutive matches as possible). Players can choose from 19 licensed athletes, including retired players in the PlayStation 3 version at launch. The standard controls for returning the ball involve selecting a desired shot, such as a spin, and a basic direction. When a special meter fills up, players can execute a particularly powerful shot.
