It’s not perfect, and will occasionally have a funny moment, but it’ll leave you wanting one more go. The camera also behaves itself a lot more when using Move, allowing the player to practice with the eventual aim of increasing the AI difficulty level. Whilst I am unsure if it is true 1:1 mapping, it feels close enough and, more importantly, it’s a lot of fun – personally it had me grinning like a loon.

As with the Kinect version the computer takes control of moving your character, leaving you in charge of performing shots. Remember all those assumptions of what Wii Tennis would be like back in 2006? Well, this is what that game should have been. It’s on the court where Move really shines though, as its accuracy reigns supreme. To start with the user interface is fast, and leagues ahead of what Kinect brought to the table. With Kinect down and out, it was up to Sony’s Move to rescue the pride of motion controlled gaming, and do you know what, it comes pretty darn close. Overall it’s a wasted opportunity to show-off Kinect to a more core crowd. The problems are worsened further by a camera that swoops from first person to third person after every shot, disorientating the player and making shots even more awkward to pull off. Is it the fault of the Kinect camera? Perhaps, but other Kinect specific games have managed tasks such as this with no issues at all. It’s imprecise and poorly executed, which is made all the more galling by the fact that the potential is clearly there. Of all the games that were played not once did Kinect properly map my arm to the on-screen tennis racquet. Unfortunately the dodgy menu screens become the highlight of the whole Kinect package as the experience deteriorates once you hit the court. This is hardly the best first impression. In light of this, the fact that developers still insist on using the incredibly slow and frustrating ‘hover your hand over the icon’ method is completely baffling. Kinect has been out for several months now, and Dance Central has paved the way for speedy, intuitive user interfaces. First up was the oft derided Kinect camera, with the package boldly proclaiming that Virtua Tennis 4 is “better with Kinect.” Unfortunately, and there is no way to sugar-coat it, this statement is an absolute fallacy.
