Players of different levels can quickly get started and find fun with the world tour mode of abilities and rankings, as well as a rich and interesting training mode. The game has been launched on PlayStation 4, Steam, Switch, and Xbox One. This review is based on the Xbox One version
Speaking of the most successful tennis game, Sega’s Virtua Tennis (VR tennis) definitely has a place, the earliest After the arcade was launched in 1999, it quickly won praise from players with its excellent graphics performance, simple hands-on operation, and real star implantation. Subsequently, a number of sequels were released, which performed well on both arcade and home consoles. Unfortunately, Since the launch of "VR Tennis 4" in 2011, there has been no new game in the series. The three giants of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic in the game 10 years ago are still active in tennis, but the works of other manufacturers have not been available. At the height of VR tennis, this type has become a blank area
The game screen adopts a colorful Q version cartoon style, which makes it easy for players to immerse in it. The four buttons of the Xbox controller correspond to different ones. The way of hitting the ball, different hitting opportunities will affect the ball path effect. If the timing is just right, Perfect will be displayed. With the left stick to control the movement and the direction of the ball, the operation is simple and smooth.
This game has A variety of modes are available. In the arcade-style fast game mode, players can set rules such as the number of rounds, the number of sets, and grab seven. It supports up to 4 people to play 2V2 games, and can also challenge CPUs of various difficulties
Players can also create their own character images,Participate in the global championship mode, participate in the competition according to the calendar, and then increase the ranking after victory to participate in higher-level competitions. You can also choose to train freely or rest to recover your strength. This gameplay refers to the world tour mode in Sega "VR Tennis", but the actual experience The shrinkage is obvious. In "VR Tennis 4", players move on the map in the form of dice throwing points, randomly encountering options such as competition, training, and rest. The four major open competitions are non-skippable level nodes, and as their own strength improves , Will also meet many real tennis star NPCs, and have the opportunity to become a doubles partner. In this game, this gameplay is simplified to a single linear development. Players can only follow the calendar, simply select options, and obtain character ability points by winning the game. It feels boring
This mode also leads to the game The biggest flaw is that there is no real star implantation. Although in the character selection interface, we can see many characters with similar appearances and names to the stars. Familiar players can easily recognize the Fernard Big Three and Agassi. Legends such as , McEnroe, Serena Williams, Graf are the prototypes, but this is after all an act of scoring without officially authorized. More importantly, apart from the image of the characters, it does not reflect the abilities of these stars at all. There are also no iconic actions, and the sense of substitution is obviously not enough to play.
This game is designed with special rules Super Blast Party mode, which gives the game a lot of random factors, such as lifting nets and multiple tennis , Moving ducks, etc., make the game a special fun, suitable for a wider group of players
In the absence of new real tennis games, this cartoon-style independent game is like sports It's a good choice for casual players, and it's also very suitable for home entertainment, but there is still much room for improvement from the spiritual sequel of "VR Tennis". The Xbox One version has 32 achievements with a total of 1000 points, which give players a clear challenge goal.
