This was truly awful – Virtua Tennis Challenge Review

I have never played an iPhone game worse than this one. I had high hopes for this app because it seemed like it was more true to the game of tennis, with top spin and slice shots and the ability to move your player. However, I quickly learned that the instructions on how to control your player are absolute s**t. I did nearly eight rounds of training trying in vain to learn how to actually hit the ball. When I finally found the instructions on how to hit, they were completely unhelpful. They said to just swipe up to a top spin shot. But none of the example images even had the on-screen control buttons. I tried to aim my shots but swiping in specific directions did nothing. I don’t believe that I am incapable of learning how to play a virtual tennis game. Rather, this game in particular is unnecessarily complicated and the developers did literally nothing to help their users navigate the controls. I have never been more infuriated.
