Top Spin

Strengths: Probly the best tennis to console game ever. Look so realistic that its hard to believe that its a game anymore. the various superstar tennis players makes the game great as well if your a tennis fan.

Weakness: The game has a tendency to not let you hit the ball sometimes, but that's most likely do to your accidently pressing the analog button to soon or to late. bit slow reaction time compared to old games.

For looks its the best that there is now, atleast from what i have seen. beats tennis 2k2 in graphic atleast 3 folds. the game play is a mature one in nature. its not as easy to play as virtual tennis or tennis 2k2 on dreamcast. But thats what i would compare it to cause those are probly the most popular games for the dreamcast. atleast it was with me and my friends. I love the various controls...

Top Spin

Strengths: Awesome graphics and online play.

Weakness: none

This is the best tennis game available. The graphics are super realistic and the sound puts you right on the court. You can create your own player or pick from a bunch of pros and progress through a career. You can also take your player online and compete against the best others have to offer. Highly recommended.

Top Spin

Strengths: Great graphics and sound, amazing gameplay, XBox Live capable, great assortment of players

Weakness: None apparent

Topspin is an amazing tennis title on the XBox. The game has some extremely well done graphics, showing off some great detail on the look of the game of tennis. The character models are all very detailed and well-animated, helping to make the game look even more realistic. The voice acting and sound effects are also excellent, making a well-done package. The controls and the gameplay are well...

Top Spin

Strengths: Good graphics. Realistic.

Weakness: Not enough pro players in the game.

One of the better games for the Xbox. However, the only two famous male players you can play with are Pete Sampras and Lleyton Hewitt.

The BEST tennis game out there. PERIOD.

Strengths: Very realistic feel. Solid controls. Beautiful presentation. XBox Live! Awesome career mode.

Weakness: Need more tennis stars!

Top Spin is the best tennis game to be developed for the arcade or home console ever. It even beats Virtua Tennis (which was a pretty good game itself). XSN Sports has done a magnificent job capturing the feel of a tennis match. The controls are very responsive, whether you decide to slice the ball or put some top spin on it. XSN payed attention to every little detail when creating this game. For...

Top Spin

Strengths: Great controls, good online play, nice single player mode, nice amount of customization

Weakness: Roster of pro players is lacking

Top Spin is without a doubt, the best tennis game available on any console. The graphics are top notch and the control scheme expands on the familiar Virtua Tennis series. This game is easy to get into, but also has a lot of depth for more experienced players. The main single player mode, consists of you creating a player and then progressing up the ranks by completing training challenges,...

Top Spin - Xbox

Virtua Tennis was so damn good though, we don't mind the similarities (though Sega might). The best since VT so take a look.

Top Spin (xbox)

Sega's Virtua Tennis set a new standard for arcade-tennis games with its simple controls, addictive gameplay, and strong graphics. It was a fun single-player game and an even better multiplayer game which up to four people could enjoy. Now, Microsoft's foray into video-game tennis does everything VT did, but a whole lot better. Like an upstart youngster on the pro tour, Top Spin has taken the...

Top Spin

The volley sends Pete Sampras backwards. Sampras may be one of the older players on the tour, but he still moves with cat-like reflexes. He skids to a near stop on the red clay, rotates his body into a powerful backhand, but his opposition has closed to the net and cuts off the returning shot, laying a blistering cross-court winner. Game, set, match - and all in the realm of fantasy. Microsoft...
