Top Spin Aces off to the Wii! - 9/10

Top Spin 3 debuts on the Wii as a promising tennis title made by 2K Sports. There has been alot of hype for the game but does it live up to the hype, Ill find out!

Gameplay:

The controls are very smooth with the ability to serve and perform trick shots including forehand and backhand. It takes awhile to get used to but once you get the hang of it, It will be very easy. The shot power depends on how fast,powerful you swing the wiimote.


Graphics:

The Graphics are good but I was dissapointed when the crowd models were not focused on though the players look accurate for the Wii.

Control Options:

You must play with the nunchuck and there is no left handed option which is a negative for some people. The ability to move your player with the nunchuck is very smooth.

Road To Glory Mode:
This is a mode which contains several global challenges such as having to win 7 matches in a row which is a shortened career mode.

This is a negative compared to the other next-gen conoles as there is no create your player mode and no stat progression. This mode is also fairly short compared to other consoles.

Roster:

There is a decent roster but its dissapointing that Nadal is only on the PS3 Version and there is no baghdatis, djokovic, Hewitt, Ivanovic and others. There are also legends to choose from aswell as Women players aswell.

Pros's:

Multiplayer
Shot Variety
Gameplay

Con's:

No Online
Shorter Career Mode
No Create Your Player mode
Top players are missing

Conclusion:

I think while this game is a brilliant game, It can be improved in alot of ways such as including online and fixing up the Road to Glory (Career) mode. Also the ability to create a player would be nice.

Final Rating: 9/10

Please post your comments about my review and how it can be improved, Thanks and Enjoy!

annirowe said: Yeah not a bad review.... but there are too many negatives (which I completely agree with) to score a 9/10.



I agree mate. You have listed to many negatives to warrant a 9 score. Good review though, right to the point.

Nice review wish it was in more detail though, might pick this up when it's price is reduced if it has a short career mode and no create players.
