In All Tennis Video games it will take some time to get familiar with the controls, but once you get the hang of it, these games are fun and addicting. It should be noted that you cannot use The Motion Control Option in World Tour Mode. Again, get both if you like Tennis Games. Motion Control lovers will be pleased to know that there is an option in Virtua Tennis 4 to play using motion control and it is some what different that Virtua Tennis 2009.
The game is very similar to Nintendo's Mario Tennis 64, which is available on the Virtual Console for $10. The 1, 2, A and B buttons control the type of shot which are Top Spin, Slice, Lob or Power Shot. The D Pad contro ls the movement of your player and the direction of your shot. This was one of the main gripes with this game and Sega responded by producing Virtua Tennis 4 which is played by using just the buttons on the wiimote. Virtua Tennis 2009 was a great game, but there was no option to play it "Old School" using just buttons, instead Virtua Tennis 2009 gave you various motion control options. I see these two games as complimenting each other, and if you like playing Tennis Video games then you should definitely own both which will give you a wide variety of game play options. Virtua Tennis 4 is the sequel to Virtua Tennis 2009. I think the sport of Tennis is probably the easiest of all sports to produce as a video game, since Tennis is mostly played one on one and the game play is so straight forward.

In addition to high-profile Virtua Tennis veterans such as Nadal, Federer, and Murray, gamers can play as or against series newcomers including Juan MartÃn Del Potro, Fernando Gonzalez, Laura Robson, and Caroline Wozniacki. This more physically engaging control scheme is optional, however, and the game can also be played with traditional gamepad input. The play of the game has been configured for motion control, and the Wii edition of supports the MotionPlus accessory, for player-executed racket swings that translate to onscreen action with one-to-one tracking.
