Virtua Tennis 3 Mini-Game Carousel: Bulls-Eye

SEGA's Virtua Tennis revolutionized what was once considered a dead sport in videogames. First in the arcades, then Dreamcast, then PlayStation 2, the original Virtua Tennis was an amazing arcade game that nailed the rhythm, speed, and feel of real tennis while delivering great and original controls.

SEGA is trying to re-capture the sensation with Virtua Tennis 3, which will soon hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PSP with upgraded graphics, new gameplay modes, and the ultimate in training sessions, the hilarious/helpful mini-games.

This week we've highlighted five different mini-games, presenting a new one each day. Today's mini-game is Bulls-Eye. This one isn't as wild or as crazy as the next, but it does indeed improve your volley skills.

The idea? Easy. Aim the tennis ball at the center of the target. Here's your chance to improve your volley game. Don't mess it up!

• Control the analog stick and angle the ball perfectly into the center of the target to gain maximum points.

• Stay on your toes at the net so you are ready for those random hits from the ball launcher.

• Don't forget the timer will be ticking away. You need to use each and every ball to up your score.

That's it for this week's mini-game carousel. See related links below for the other four mini-game entrees, and click on the media section for more images.
