bit-tech Review

"It's important to realise at the outset that [i]Top Spin 3[/i] is more of a tennis simulator than a tennis game. There are no tennis-themed minigames in the career mode and no unlockable naked tennis modes either. [i]Top Spin 3[/i] is all about the game, pure and simple.

With that in mind, it's also important to realise that it isn't really possible to just pick up the game and start playing. It does take time and perseverance before you'll be winning games consistently. If you're willing to put in the time and effort, and play through hours of tournaments, you'll be rewarded with a very in-depth and involving game.

Online play is the icing on the cake and its polish and relatively glitch-free operation could show some other developers how it's done properly. The inclusion of seasons in the online leaderboards means that there'll still be an incentive to play online tournaments, even in months to come.

For me, I'm glad to say that my badminton wrists were up to the job, and I have just one final thing to add: move over, Federer, there's a new boy on the tennis court." - 1st July 2008
