Play.TM writes: "Despite all of the welcome improvements Virtua Tennis 2009 brings, the game is essentially a significantly updated version of VT 3, tuned and revamped just in time for this year's Wimbledon. Sumo's previous experience on Sega Superstars Tennis and their conversion of Virtua Tennis 3 for the PSP certainly shines through here, making VT 2009 undoubtedly the best tennis game you can currently buy. If you already own VT 3 however, you might want to think twice before you consider upgrading to this. Virtua Tennis 2009 plays a better, more compelling game than any other tennis game around, but it is still fundamentally more of the same. Nonetheless, if you're in the market for a new set of balls, then this is certainly a game that you'll love". 75/100
