Introduction I am a casual fan of tennis and enjoy the sport. It is not my most preferred sport but I still have more than a passing interest in it. I haven't played many tennis video games before but had played at least one version of Virtua Tennis as well as a game on the PS One called All Star Tennis which wasn't very good. Since then there have been quite a few tennis games. The two main series that are currently on offer are Virtua Tennis made by Sega and the Top Spin series produced by a company called 2K Sports. After hearing quite a few good things about Top Spin 4, I decided to purchase this game after seeing it at a pretty reasonable price of £24.99 ...  Read the complete review

Having played this game for a few months now, I think I am in a good place to review this game, mostly everyone so far who has reviewed it, has awarded 5 stars, and I can see why this would be. Sometimes a game can seem amazing at first, but only once u dig a little deeper do the real flaws start to come to the surface, this is what I will be focusing on in this review. So for those of you that don't know much about tennis games, it is similar to Fifa with how there is Pro Evo and Fifa, as in Tennis we have the Virtua tennis franchise, and the Top Spin franchise. I won't go into a deep comparison but just make a quick summary which most fans of the games out ...  Read the complete review

Hey there, I initially wrote this review on my forum, so thought I would add it here too. I haven't written a review in quite some time, so it will probably be a little rusty. Ok, so I've had this for a couple of days now, so thought I'd write you a little report on the game. Graphics In my opinion the graphics are definitely a 9 out of 10. Their extremely crisp, and almost perfect. Player animations are decent too, and the arena graphics are top-notch, especially the Munich Open (The Sun comes and goes, so the course can look brighter or darker at times). Compared to other Tennis games, notably, Virtua Tennis and previous Top ...  Read the complete review

Top Spin 4 is the most recent installment of the top Spin franchise. Developed and published by 2K Sports, it gained a lot of hype prior to it;s release. Top spin 4 offers a shallow range of game modes, but what else can be expected from a tennis game? Never the less it does not fail to impress. When you first load load the game you will be taken to training camp, where you are given the opportunity to learn the basics of the game. Once you get into the swing of things (excuse the pun) you can start to play tournaments and games. but we'll come to that a bit later on. ===Gameplay=== The game has a very polished feel to it. You can tell ...  Read the complete review

I have never been the biggest fan of watching tennis but for a number of years have enjoyed playing tennis, wether outdoors or indoors on a console so when I heard that 2K Sports had their next Top Spin offering coming out I was delighted but did it live up to my expectations? Positives: Starting with the positives, I was very impressed with the presentation standards in the game with the feel of the matches and entire package very impressive and professional (in the sense you are playing on the big stage). The game is exceptional in its graphic standards with sharp movement and clear flow allowing you to play the game without needing to be trying to ...  Read the complete review
