Top Spin

"Service!"

Top Spin is definitely one of the best Tennis games ever made because of everything that you can do in it. Here is a basic overview of everything:

GRAPHICS---10/10

The graphics in Top Spin are just awesome, they look life like and plus there are cool special effects if you hit the tennis ball really really hard, pretty much the graphics in this game is ten points of pure awesome.

SOUND---7/10

The sound is absolutely great but they could have done a lot more with it. It is pretty muc only used to announce your scores and so that you can hear yourself hit the ball and the ball bounce. So I basically feel that they could have put background music in or give you the option of letting you play your own music in the background, but that just isn't happening in this game unfortunately.

GAME PLAY---10/10

The game play is once again pure awesome. You are given plenty of options on how to hit the tennis ball, although you don't need to use every single option. There is so much game play in Top Spin that it is almost insane. There are a ton of tournaments that you can play through and training missions and various other fun things of awesomeness. Pretty much it is going to take a long time and lots of dedicated effort to complete this game all of the way through. Plus there are several different difficulties of tournaments that will keep you busy for ages.

REPLAY VALUE---10/10

With so much game play comes a whole lot of replay value naturally it is fun to keep on going through beating the easier tournaments so that you can notice where the ball goes to if it is hit from a certain spot, and plus it is just plain fun to beat the easiest tournaments because they are just so easy.

OVERALL---9/10

This is pretty much an awesome game and plus it is cheaper than most so that is a bonus. It is definitely worth it if you like watching tennis in real life because now you can play the most realistic thing to the pros.
