Which Tennis Game Should I Get?

**xBSGeorge** · 03-02-2011

I am really interested in playing some Tennis on the Move and I see that there is plans for 2 tennis games. Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4.

So which one are you getting? Any news from those that follow the move a lot on which game will be better.

There is a demo of TopSpin on PSN. I hope to try both before I decide.

The Top Spin 4 demo with the Move really sucked in my opinion.

agree

Top Spin 4 was the worst POS I ever played with move. I'm hoping Virtua tennis is a lot better.

I like the way VT switches to a first person view as the ball approaches. If this is done well it could be quite immersive. If it offers the level of finesse available in Sport Champions Table Tennis, it could be onto a winner. I always liked the original VT in the arcades.

Virtua tennis 4 is the best

so is there an actual Tennis game yet that uses Move?

**Funeralfog** · 06-27-2011

virtua tennis has never done me wrong, so i don't see it starting now

Yep.

Virtua Tennis 4 & Top Spin 4 both use the move.

i should have said....
"is there an actual tennis game that uses Move in a good way to actually play the full game", because in VT4 it is not used in the full game and TS4, while using it.... actually harms the game play (going off reviews) leading to a worse game.

so it appears that this far into Moves life, we dont have a tennis game worth owning Move for.
as much as i like Ping Pong in Sports Champions, its not tennis and if no one else is going to provide it. then Sony should direct some money to devs to get one made.

Those are the only two i am aware of.
More move games would be good.

I just got VT 4 yesterday and the gameplay with Move is awesome. You have to put difficulty up to Very hard to get a challenge though.

That's the case with using Move in any game. The DS3 will always be more accurate and more responsive.

but i'm not on about accuracy. Move should allow for you to get more involved in a tennis game, thus leading to an overall better experiance. so far....... nothing though.
Sony appear to have gone along the root of, wii have one of those and forgot about supporting it.

when i think of how people were excited over the Move announcement (ONQ anyone?) and how 1:1 was going to change the world of games. such a shame.

That's a bit harsh. Responsiveness, yes, if you want to get down to milliseconds but accuracy is top notch though when done right (The Fight, Tumble and Sports Champions)

Yeah there isn't a whole lot out there so far but some games are in the works including some AAA titles.

Virtua tennis demo was beyond awful, you can totally miss a shot and still redo the movement and hit it, I knew Virtua tennis was an arcade tennis game (can still hit the ball when the distance should make it impossible in real tennis) but that totally makes the gameplay worthless

**Soldier 95B** · 08-05-2011

Just my personal preference, I have always enjoyed Top Spin more than Virtua Tennis.

**rene2kx** · 08-05-2011

Although the earlier virtua tennis games were really good, the latest one is drab. Top spin 4 is a better game, the presentation and the feel of being there in a tennis match is quite good. Check out TS4's review on ign. It is quite positive.
I dont care about move functionality.

**Gregorious** · 08-05-2011

I've tried both and I would say Top4 is better, but neither are as immersive as I would have liked. The move action works well, but moving with the secondary controller is a bit awkward.
