Virtua Tennis Challenge App Reviews

Before the update it was a 5 star game but now just like the other guy said its really hard to play fix it and it will be a 5 star game again

The game is not that bad graphic are good but not for my iPad 3 here the lag is absolutely terrible online and I run on the new iPad 3 64 gb I even play nova 3 that cost up to 2gb of byte of memory and play it quite flawlessly please fix this seta I have confidence on u guys to fix it ASAP thank u Apple for let me post my concern about the game really appreciated it :)

Ive been play vr for more than 4 years now and I loved the customizing ur own player, so I would prefer u guys add features like that coz we can train them into different player-types

Probably one of the best sports games for the iPhone/iPad - almost like the console version - great job!

Online and Bluetooth lag way too much, its not even enjoyable any more. Fix this. And including a head to head stat would be great

I would prefer to customize my own player, like build a shop which selling thwclothings, tennis rackets or shoes sth like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!make morn fun plz

After you become number one in the world tour in the game there is nothing else to accomplish. Add more to the game. Graphics are good but gameplay is laggy

This is the best tennis game out there, but I just dont understand why you make the players so small. We dont care about the background AT ALL!! Simplify the background and zoom in on the players instead. Also make it more like the modern tennis games where points are won at the baseline instead of going to the net. No one go to the net any more, wake up!

The game has great graphics and awesome potential but due to the terrible controls gameplay is frustrating and annoying. This is $2.99 Id like to have back! Specifically the delay in moving the player and swing controls results in poor overall performance, and this was on an iPad3

Cannot play online! This is so disappointing, not one is willing to $6 for a single player game.

I paid this game one buck and i got a superb tennis game once you chance the control to gamepad. Visuals are superb on ipad 2. A bit limited yes, but stop comparing this with a 60$ game. The gameplay is almost the same as a console game...

Buggy: - instead of swinging the racquet, you end up running away from the ball - certain swings cause the player to freeze up, allowing the opponent to hit "winners" because you cant move Poor controls - no way to control speed of running - no way to control depth/height of lob - controls respond poorly when you try to hit drop shots or short balls - due to poor graphics, very difficult to tell when the opponent has hit a lob, until its too late - the opponents have the ability to hit huge forehand/backhand returns, while you cant, which puts you at a permanent disadvantage throughout the game - sometimes the app forces you to run around your backhand to hit an inside-out forehand, putting you well out of position to return the next ball; you have no choice in this and will usually lose the point Not realistic - play as many tournaments in one day as you like, to artificially inflate your ranking - return 120mph serves easily while standing well inside the baseline - no gauge at all to measure player energy level/fatigue Finally, you end up playing a lot against a player named "Theron Tenniel," who has the advantage of having: - an "atomic forehand" (which no one else has the option of getting) - the ability to hit perfect lobs (which you cannot due to poor controls) - the ability to hit perfect cross court shots (which you cannot due to poor controls) So, good luck with beating him. Its an exercise in futility. This game is not realistic, has poor playability and is extremely frustrating. I wish I could give it a lower score.

I like some parts of this game - controls are excellent - gives the feel of the sport with finger swipes. What is missing: better way to see where you are in the draw of a tournament; seeing your characters name on a score board (if you use your name); hearing the chair use your name instead of "player 1" all the time. But what I HATE is the artificial rivalry construct in this game between you and Theron Thennial. The designers gave this single character super human powers (most of the time) which undermines the game experience and makes me want to chuck my iPhone out the window!! It feels like the computer is playing against you in its own version of a "cheat mode"! Also the game does not use real pro names and championships (eg. Wimbledon) - - clearly a licence and cost issue but a shortcoming that also undermines the experience. Also when your opponent reaches 100% concentration during a rally the game suddenly cuts away to a slow-mo view of him hitting the ball - profoundly irritating and throws off your timing for the return! For some reason you get stuck playing the same series of three tournaments for days sometimes - even when you win all three!! You can only replay them until the date resets. Be nice to see trophy ceremony cut away after major championship wins. Also way too many auto instant replay cut aways and with many ineffective viewpoints too. Many rreplays show merely routine points and ignore the amazing winners - that you really might want to see again! Instant replays also never seem to cover volleys at net or match points. Finally some tournaments pit you against the #1 seed in the first round (fine) but it can happen even when you are the #2 seed - that never happens in real tennis!! I cannot recommend this game!! It could be great but ...

Fun but frustrating. Delay in control results in some not so fun gameplay. I deleted it.

I tend to like tennis games and this one is pretty good...especially for a mobile version. My only qualm is out of all matches Ive played against the computer, the comp has not had one unforced error no matter what meanwhile the user controlled player hits simple hits for guaranteed points out. EDIT (02/15/2013): Control sensitivity lacking and obvious delay. Computer AI balancing out of whack. Handily beat # 1 seed straight sets and drop 3 sets to # 9 seed in finals. Really?!?

This game generate a lot of frustration , specially when you face the champion Tharon Thaniels. When the computer decide youre not gonna win the point, youre done. Ill wait for a better version.

The controls freeze, and I have tried every option this game comes with. The computer NEVER has any unforced errors. Just frustrating to play. Garbage.

My favorite game. Needs a part 2 I have demolished it at every level

Uhm full screen support soon?

Very hard mode needs to toned down a little bit. Its hard be accurate with the movement and volleying especially when you are on the go. Besides that the game is excellent. I wish it had the copyrights to put actual players in it. But each player still has the mannerisms of their actual real life counterpart. The Swiss guy acts like Fed etc etc.
