CSM Writes:
"I became frustrated in minutes when I realized that the game was not going to play like Wii Sports Tennis and had a hard time convincing myself to continue. And as I did so, the game became less and less fun, especially with all of the non-ending replay screens that take forever to get through."
"Because of that, this game does not have a long lasting appeal. There are too many elements that are missing that hopefully another Wii game will pick up. For not, sticking with Wii Tennis makes much more sense than taking on Top Spin 3 unless you are a hardcore tennis enthusiast."
OPM: Thousands of Brits will be inspired to pick up a racket this week on the back of Andy Murray’s success at Wimbledon – but in this heat, and given our hand-eye co-co-ordination, we’ll be sticking to the virtual type. Looking to fill your week with some ace-smashing antics? Then join us in revisiting PlayStation’s finest tennis efforts…
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."
