   I cant seem to understand certain reviewers on this game.This is the BEST tennis game ever created so why in the original Top Spin stillI cant seem to understand certain reviewers on this game.This is the BEST tennis game ever created so why in the original Top Spin still higher rated then 2,3 and now 4.This game is downright amazing in every aspect.Top spin 3 in my opinion was frustrating in the beginning but after a while of getting the controls it was amazing.It was a revolution in the tennis genre.This game isn't frustrating at all but brilliant all over the place.Sports games are really getting good now a days.With the show as my favorite then nba 2k11,I say this is third on my favorites then Fight night champion as 4th.Top Spin 4 is smart,fun,exciting and the replay value is off the charts.FINALLY Tennis at it's best!… Expand

   This game is even better than it's predecessor, even more realistic and with more tennis players to play with.

   The first thing I need to say is that for anyone who genuinely enjoys the sport of tennis, this is the best tennis game out there. Top Spin 4The first thing I need to say is that for anyone who genuinely enjoys the sport of tennis, this is the best tennis game out there. Top Spin 4 gets rid of over-bearing complexities from the previous title and focuses the skill involved on timing and snap decision making, and with faster players and easier-to-control shots, every point in the Top Spin 4 is a battle, and it can get very exciting.
   This game is probably the perfect mid-ground between simulation and arcade, and the level of simplicity the formula turns Top spin 4 into a sort of easy to learn, hard to master. Let's face it, anyone who wants a complete tennis simulation is just going to go outside and play tennis, so this was a very good move.
   The way the tennis games are presented now are very convincing. The camera follows that of a TV broadcast and the players react realistically to points. Winning a hard earned point is all the sweeter when you can see you're player arm pumping and shouting with excitement. Also the career mode had me convinced, it actually fills in a roster of 80 tennis players and they move up and down the ladder just like you do. For a tennis game, it's amazingly immersive. So why does it have an 8/10 from me? Because There are a few problems that cut to the very core of the game experience, the largest one being the controls. The button layout is great and I have no problem with that, the problem is actually whether or not the game feels like responding to you're button presses. There is nothing more aggravating than almost breaking the left analog stick with frustration as your tennis player just stands there unresponsive, and usually he'll jump into action at the last second - going the wrong way. There are plenty of times that games I played against my friends came down to whose controls responded, and there are plenty of times the player will stand there with his racket up waiting for the ball to come, and then just watch it fly by.
   I didn't notice the controller lag at first, but the harder difficulties you play and the faster the game gets, it's blatantly obvious, ESPECIALLY when playing at the net in doubles. This probably happens because of the automation of the left stick, which gets over worked because the poor thing has to do the role of moving AND aiming. The system certainly isn't perfect, but when it works, it feels great! I only wish it worked more often
   Basically, if you're in the mood for a tennis game, put the money down. The price has already dropped significantly and it's the best virtual tennis experience out there for the moment. The multiplayer is tons of fun and the career mode is surprisingly deep. Just be ready for some genuinely confusing and aggravating lost points from controller lag.… Expand

   When a video game series becomes less accessible and more difficult to master than the actual sport it was based on, something has goneWhen a video game series becomes less accessible and more difficult to master than the actual sport it was based on, something has gone horribly awry. I'm not sure what game the reviewers were playing, but as for myself, I think I'll stick with the actual sport, or better yet, the infinitely more fun and superior looking Virtua Tennis series. (This game looks even worse than it plays.)… Expand
