Top Spin 4 (PS3)

Top Spin 4 is so good that I had it for the xbox too!!My love for tennis games started with Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast due to its easy pick up and play style. As years went by, I wanted a more realistic Tennis game and Top Spin 4 is the answer!!It has a great tutorial academy which will get you up to speed with how to play. Players get fatigued as the rally goes on meaning more wild shotsPlaystation also released an update which punishes you more for poorly timed shots which is great!!Online play:I'm only new to online gaming, but from what I played of Top Spin 4, it seems great, no lag, challenging opponents, and still people playing it which shows its a great game.I also own Grand Slam Tennis 2 which I think has better graphics, but the gameplay is hateful, (as I'm sure you have all read about the super easy 2 years in career you start off with, then the onslaught of defeats from then on) I don't mind a challenge, in fact I love a good challenge, but what annoyed me about GT2 was that the players, no matter who they were, all rushed to the net to win the points on hard mode. I would rather have been beaten by wonder shots hit down the line etc this was a very lazy way of making a hard mode EA!!So yes, buy Top Spin 4, its the best out there!!

didnt like it much at first as i found it too easy , but playing on very hard is fun , and plus you can unlock an expert difficulty , which is gr8 , no fun in playing a game if its no challenge. all the play mechanics make sense and give it a more realistic gameplay . best tennis game

This game is OK? apart from the fact that you have to have a navigation contoller as well as the actual move controller. I didnt know this as all of my other move controller game only needed the actual move contoller. This fact was not stated anywhere on the page. I was absolutly devestated when i found out you need the navigation controller to move your player round. BUT... the graphics on this game are brill !!! and insted of using the move contollers you can use your wireless dual shock contoller to do it. its not as fun as the players have delayed reaction sometimes which really annoys me. i sit on the couch screaming at the tv sometimes. but you can create your player and things which is always funny!! in the exhibioion mode you can play as brilliant tennis players like Nadal, Williams, Murray etc. If you have a 3D TV the game can be formatted to be in 3D. Im sure this game would b brilliant in 3d. Good game!!

Great alternative for Sega's Virtua Tennis. This one is less "arcade" than the other, more realistic shoots and players behavior. For the one who practice tennis, i feel this one to be a better option...

Had this for a week now and I am very impressed with the gameplay and level of detail.The hitting system is intuitive and all about timing, and the presentation is spot on. As a bonus, it doesn't come with any cheesy music or arcade style play.Loading times could be better, and moving on clay has a slight floating feel - but these are very minor flaws.update: the 2k servers are a complete joke, and as much as i like the game it has little value without online play. you can spend 10 minutes looking for an opponent even when there are many sitting there in the lobby, and the load times are just terrible.

I bought this game because it supports the Move controller. Tennis is an ideal game to use the Move with. However the reality is that Move controller support in this game feels like a poorly implemented afterthought. Let's start with the controller related problems:-1. With 2 Moves connected, the game repeatedly asks you to calibrate one or more of the controllers, when moving between menus. This is intensely annoying.2. For some bizarre reason, in 2 player mode, it's not possible to select two different user-created players.3. Most frustrating of all is that in 2 player mode, one of the players is at the top of the screen. This means you're playing facing the on-screen player. Imagine how difficult that is when you're swinging the controller in the opposite direction to the player's movement. Any other 2 player tennis game has both players side by side. With this game, the player at the top has a huge disadvantage.4. The direction of shot is not controlled by the direction you swing the Move controller. You have to use the joystick on the nav controller to aim your shot. I'm sorry, but this is poor beyond belief. It's possible to accurately track the direction of the Move, and direct shots with it. I know this because the tennis game in Sports Champions 2 does it. Lazy lazy programming.5. Often the game will not even recognise one of the controllers, and you have to restart the entire game.The menu system is very clunky, unintuitive, long load times. Annoying.A huge amount of effort has been spent in this game implementing the player customisation. There are quite sophisticated facilities for shaping faces, skin tone, hair, eye/nose shape and tons more, plus an extensive wardrobe of kits. Now unless I'm a 10 year old schoolgirl, I don't care about any of this!!! I'd much prefer the developers to spend their time creating a good tennis simulator.Having played a previous version of Top Spin, the 2 player gameplay wasn't that bad (although still not ideal) with the standard controller. I think that Move support in this game has been a complete failure. The game is designed to be played with the standard dual shock controller.So in summary, this game has not lived up to my expectations and is not that playable with the Move controller. It's ok as a single player game with Move, but still not ideal. If you want a fun 2 player tennis game that works great with the Move controller, buy Sports Champions 2.

This has proved to be a smash hit with our teenage children. It is very realistic and as a spectator you can really get drawn into the matches between two players. One of the best family games we have bought.

Love this game, still the best tennis simulation around, great graphics and gameplay. You can play all the shots as in real tennis. It as been updated since release to improve even better. I would recommend this to any real tennis fan. Bought this second hand cheap, came in excellent condition and fast delivery, thanks amazon.
