The speed of the action is aided by the control system, a leftover from the original Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast. You don’t mess with perfection, and the beautiful simplicity of topspin, slice and lobbing, holding the button down to get the desired power and directing the shot via the analog stick still works amazingly well. Brave souls can, if they wish, switch to SixAxis control - and it’s decent - it’s fun for a while, but lacks the accuracy to use throughout the game. However, get a gang of you SixAxising it up in multi-player and it’s comedy gold, with the random jerks and thrusts resembling some kind of broken robot dance routine.
