Advantages: Good graphics, lots of court venues and game modes.

Disadvantages: Poor player reaction, poor controls, non-responsive.

"Top Spin 3 serves up real tennis on your Wii - Immerse yourself in the world of yop ranked professional tennis and come out swinging against the tour's best players on the world's most well known courts - Real tennis fun for everyone!" (Quoted from back of game).

It is indeed true that you can play with professional players, such as Roger Federer, Raphael Nadal, Becker, Andy Murray and many more. There are a number of different games to choose from - you can play a quick-play game, multiplayer games, enter a tournament, singles or doubles.

It is also true that there are many realistic courts venues in the game - there are over 40 venues. The graphics on this game are very good for the Wii - however, all the above doesn't mean it's a good game.

You would have thought that the control over the players on screen would be great - just what the Wii was designed for - but no, it is very non-responsive. When playing everything seems slightly delayed, there is no player creation, the player reactions are not good, and control over their reaction lags.

All in all this is not a good game, retails at £30 on amazon at the moment, but I don't think it's worth it to be honest. I would rather play Wii Sports Tennis, much better controls and more fun.

Summary: OK if you love tennis, but I'd stick to Wii Sports, not this!
