Far and away the best sports title to hit the GBA. [Nov 2002, p.68]

The Dreamcast may be dead and buried but Virtua Tennis lives on in this essential GBA purchase. Excellent!

Pocket Games
The best sports game out for the Game Boy Advance. It's every bit as fun as its Dreamcast predecessor. [Winter 2002, p.42]

IGN
By far, the finest tennis title on the GBA to date. It may not be a pretty rendition of the Dreamcast series, but it plays so well it's easy to forgive the somewhat clumsy character animation.

GameSpot
The game never skips a beat even with four players connected, which is good news considering that you'll eventually be able to tear computer opponents to ribbons.

GameSpy
While Virtua Tennis for the GBA dominates with addictive gameplay, it fails to impress with its rough-shod graphics.

NintendoWorldReport
While the game of tennis may seem simple from a glance, Sega really nailed the core intricacies in terms of giving the player the most amount of control possible without hampering any other aspect of the gameplay.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
The true brilliance shines through whenever you get enough mates together to unearth the full potential of the multiplayer.

EuroGamer
Taken in isolation, it's easily the best handheld Tennis game.

Yahoo! Games
Preserves the original's emphasis on simplicity. It's well suited to the GBA's limited control options, yet it models the physics of tennis so well the depth it achieves is considerable.

Game Informer
Has the same impressive and deep career mode featured in VT2 for the Dreamcast. [Jan 2003, p.122]
75
Nintendophiles
The game shrinks down the arcade game successfully, even if it's not as good as that game was. It has some flaws, including some major ones in doubles play, but the rest of the game is too good to overlook.
72
Nintendo Power
Matches feature 12 tennis stars, including Venus and Serena Williams. [Nov 2002, p.230]

GamePro
The four-player action makes this tennis game an absolute blast.
