Virtua Tennis is a tennis game in which it is possible to control one of eight licensed players and uncover the secret stars. As well as the traditional arcade mode, you can play in the exhibition mode, with four-player action via doubles play. Once you've mastered those modes, take on the world in the world circuit mode, with unique training games, different challenges and shops to buy clothing, equipment, stages and playing partners.
