The need for a tennis game for ANY system was great. Finally, TopSpin took the chance and came out victorious. It has what a tennis game should have, a career mode, create-a-character mode, taunting, and praise. The graphics are great and the endless gameplay is good too. Its not too tough, but not too easy. You can play with many friends in a tournament mode in which you can see who is truly #1. Or play on Xbox and see if your #1 in the world! The only problem is the weak character selections. Only 16 (8 men, 8 women) real tennis superstars are included. Some missing include the Williams sisters, Andre Agassi, Tim Henman, Justine Henin-Hardenne and Andy Roddick! However, the selection choices they do supply are good. Sampras and Kournakova as well as others. Just know a tiny bit about tennis before playing ... like the simple and basic rules.
9.0 Presentation
It presents very well. Enough said.
8.5 Graphics
The Graphics are amazing in the game. Even from the things you don't realize like the skids on the clay courts. The graphics are clearly stunning.
8.5 Sound
From the shoes squeaking, to the sound of the ball hitting the racquet and the announcer saying the score .. the sound is good. Although the music could use some touch ups.
9.0 Gameplay
Gameplay is amazing. You can select from so many options and tournaments and doubles and singles. Its good.
8.0 Overall
I have never been a tennis fan, but this game appeals to those who like or don't like tennis.
