From XboxOZ360:
"PAM serves up their next iteration in the series, but does it live up to its original, or flop like its sequel?
As most components of the game are fantastic and well-polished, other areas such as the online suffer greatly and really hold the game back. The game is definitely one of the best looking sports titles available and is clearly a sports genre GOTY contender. If you are a fan of tennis then Topspin 3 is a must buy, if you aren't you will find the learning curve to be difficult to cope with, but get through it and you will love this title."

Not really, most of those games were available on multiple platforms.
Just so happens that the PS magazine wrote the article so makes sense it would be 'Playstation's greatest games' :)

Virtua Tennis 3 has been one of my favorite PSP games, and I could not wait to see what the 2009 Xbox 360 version of the game brought to the table. After playing the game, I was very disappointed in Virtua Tennis 2009; not because it was a bad game per say, but because it wasn't anything new from the previous release."
Another week and another episode of Distributed Failure is here for your listening pleasure. This week's "What They've Been Playing" features discussion on Top Spin 3, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Fight Night Round 4, Battlefield 1943, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, and much more! They follow that up with some gaming news including the latest update on EGM, the addition of prizes to 1 vs. 100, and the announcement of a new Mechwarrior game.
I've been thinking about getting this, but I'm still not sure...
I had a play of it and it seemed greta, a bit of a learning curve, but quite immersive once you get into it. If you're uncertain, just rent it and give it a few days play slowly, that should give you enough to work out if you'd like it or not.
I downloaded the demo and I realized a few days later that I was playing it over and over. I spent more time on it than the full games I had. So i went on ahead and bought it. A month later and it's still my most played game. It's definitely worth the purchase.
I played a bit of it and quite enjoyed this game.
