    If you're looking for a faithful recreation of tennis, you've found it. With immense attention to detail, Top Spin 3 is a must have for any tennis nutter.

    The changes to Top Spin 3 are only good for hardcore tennis fans. For most gamers, the new animation-dependent learning curve will replace the fun gameplay elements with literal gameplay mechanics.

    Though it has numerous pros, courts, and options - including a player creation section that would make World Of Warcraft jealous - and looks as good as Wimbledon on NBC, it is ultimately undone by the most obvious of gaming mistakes: bad controls.

    Great game. Unlike Virtua this is a simulation which requires skill and patience to master. There are some annoyances, the ball never clips the top of the net, lethal volleys are hard to come by (perhaps I haven't mastered them yet!) but overall the best tennis game since Smash Court 3 Pro Tournament. Beating Federer in my first pro game was a wonderful moment!… Expand

    Absolutely the greatest tennis game for players seeking a realistic tennis sim! Trust me if you're a regular gamer the controls will NOT bother u. Sure there is a learning curve but the moment u get it you really get it. MILES and miles ahead of vt09 (which i bought 2 weeks ago and have since reverted back to top spin 3). Great game that definitely could use some work, heres to hoping the sequel will be even better… Expand
