Virtua Tennis 3 - Better than Top Spin 2?

I'm interested in buying the game. Nonetheless, is it worth the money? I'm a fan of 3's predecessor, but is the game better than, say, Top Spin 2, which I found somewhat lackluster.

Thanks.

Hmm, just maybe you should at least try it and not base everything on the demo. I think its probably one of the most realistic tennis games that have been made, I cant think of one thats better, and I am a tennis fanatic. I get every tennis game, snes jimmy connors was pretty fun. Anyways, the footwork on the game is much more realistic then most tennis games. Ususally tennis games are so forgiving, you can run one way, and just stop in your tracks pretty much and run the other way, this game isn't like that, its more realistic. If you get got off balance, or put on the defense its tough to come back. The game looks great, and the players strokes really mimic their real strokes pretty well. Things I dont like is the serving, the power serve is fine, but I am not sure whats going on with the kick and slice serves on the game. Also, the game needs to either had fake computer players to make the draws for the tournaments bigger, or just add more real pros, even second rate ones, pretty much anyone to just get more variety. Most of the mini games are pretty good, some of the tennis academy games are kind of weird, but overall good. Overall its a very good tennis game, certainly one of the best. If you like tennis games it would be hard for me to imagine anyone not like this one. Here is a tip for the next tennis game. How about a legends version, put current and retired pros, thats what I want to see. There was one on genesis that had a game that had current pros and retired ones, and it was fairly decent for its time, I would like to see something more like that.tylerdurden2621

I have a friend who owns both of them and he prefers Top Spin. I forget why he said he did though....sorry

Virtua Tennis is more arcade and fun, if you are not a tennis player.

 I personally enjoyed Top Spin 2 more.  The movement and playability is more realistic.  This is coming from someone that played a bit growing up.  I played in NCTA, Southern Region, and USTA tournaments.
