Great graphics, tough controls! Not many of the top players!

User Rating: 7 | Top Spin 3 PS3
As a long time fan of the Virtua Tennis series it was with interest that I finally tried a topspin game. I was very impressed with the level of detail in the graphics and some neat career options. However the player roster comes up a little short for anyone looking for big names from the current top 10. This coupled with a lengthy tutorial that for a newbie was absolutly necessary to complete. I found the gameplay difficult and as a relatively experienced gamer struggled to get into it properly. The response of the players was a little disappointing and I regularly ended up with my player miles from the ball even on the easy settings!
If you like top spin games then this is clearly a very good offering, if you are looking for a pick up and play tennis game then don't get this!
Maybe if I had a bit more time I'd have got into it more!!
