Sports games were never a big deal. Except for the Tony Hawk and SSX series. Not including the auto mobile sports. But this game actually made me look into sports game a little deeper. Top Spin, with its stunning graphics, great gamaplay, and its wide customization, made it a exceptional tennis game.
To start off, this game offer over the top graphics. Characters, or athletes, look insanely good. They are extremely detailed and well done. Their movement is not compared, because it cant be. The animation is so smooth, you cant make your character freeze its animation, or make it disort. Like it happens to hitman 2. The animation is done so everymove can interact with the next, no matter what it is. The places and fans, are not as detailed as the main characters, but are close.
Also, the game play is easy and complex at the same time. Begginers will be able to pick up and play. But the morre you get into the game, the more you learn. There some timing, and theres many different strategies you can learn to beat you oponent. Each button has its purpose. The A button, hits the ball normally, just so you get over the net. The Y button, sends the ball high inthe air to the back (if not out) over your oponents court. B is for spinning the ball and making curves, and X is for long straight shots. Depeding how youre playing, you can use them in a combo. Such as serving the ball. You have to time your hit meter so it hits its highest point and get the fasster serve. Or you can serve the ball really slow so the oponent has to run to get it before it bounces twice on his court. Basically, there are many ways to get points.
Finally, this game has a really big customization point. For your character, you can choose male or female. From there, you can make it look like anything you want. Fat, skinny, ugly, stupid...etc. You can also choose her/his clothes, and accessories such as racket glasses. By the end, you will have the whole wardrobe and you wont know what to dress your barb...tennis player.
Basically, You have great graphics, great gameplay, and great customization, what else do you want? Its a great Tennis Game! its definatly a buy. Especially right now that is super cheap. And this game does get challenging. And it is pretty long. So enjoy!
