This game is very fun to play. You can create your player and spend time so they can look like just about anyone. The grounddtrokes are modeled very well from the players in the game. However, I have 2 REAL BIG problem with this game. There aren't any patented serves AND you can't create players who play 2 hands on both sides or play ambidextriously (like I do). No patented Becker, Agassi, Sampras, or Federer service motions. This game would be perfect if they had that. There is also no Wimbledon...they replace Wimbledon with Dublin. Another issue I have is that when you create your player they don't let you make your name like fight night does....you are referred to as player 1 and the referee refers to whoever your opponent as player 2. The graphics are super cool. Very realistic gameplay. Playing this videogame is actually a great teaching tool for young kids as well. I'm a tennis player so the problems with the game bug me more they should, but for top spin 5 I think they should fix these problems and include 50 men and 50 women and game will be perfect.Read full review
The best tennis game ever in almost everyway. Graphics are fantastic, modes are fabulous and play is very good. Just one point didn´t make me give the five stars. The way that the 'difficulty' selection works, because 'normal difficulty' for me was too easy and 'hard difficulty' was too hard. There´s no medium terms. While on 'normal' the cpu players serve the ball at a speed of 120 km/h (which is ridiculous), I found the same cpu players in the 'hard level' serving at almost 200 km/h. I couldn´t beat any cpu players in this hard level, while in the normal level I won every match with double 6-0. In the hard level, cpu almost never miss a swing or put the ball out. This is insane and makes you want to play online with human players, wich is a good thing because the online mode is awesome.
Top Spin 4 has a good balance of graphics, style, and levels. The career mode has several different styles of games, scoring, and special events. If your player finds himself/herself a little outclassed, you can take a break from the mode and play the other modes with your player. When you go back, your experience points go with you and you can level up. There are also coaches of bronze, silver, and gold levels. Each has challenges that unlock bonus abilities when you hire them. (I also like that if you switch coaches and then go back, those abilities are still unlocked.) The academy steps you through the large number of shot options. You can get by with one or two types, but can master it with a lot more if you are interested. It's also great to see Agassi, Venus, Borg, and other former and current players together. Money well spent.Read full review
This is a fun game for my family. It does get a bit repetitive but the design of the game tries to keep your interest. There are certain features which allow the user to customize their player and play on a variety of surfaces and places. The movement of players around the court is slower than what would be normally realistic and makes play frustrating at times.
This game is more realistic-feeling than any of the new tennis games out there. If you still have your old xbox360, I highly recommend getting this instead of the newer tennis games. Overall: cheap price, great game, what's not to like?
