No matter what mode you choose to play, each is ruined by a frustrating control system that saps all the fun out of the game. Poor visuals do little to add to the experience either. Blocky character models are plagued with jagged edges and stilted animations that lack fluidity and realism, failing to capture the feel and speed of a real-life tennis match. Courts don't fare much better, with each surface lacking detail, making them just look like blocky coloured blobs surrounded by a lifeless crowd. By attempting to create a realistic control system without the support of Wii MotionPlus, Top Spin 4 never manages to make you feel like you're playing a game of tennis; instead, it leaves you frustrated and more likely to simply throw your Wii Remote down in disgust.
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."
GF365: "The US Open is currently underway. It reminds me of the lack of top-notch tennis video games on PS4 and Xbox One. In short: we need a new Virtua Tennis or Top Spin."
Couldn’t agree more. Been too long since I last broke some ankles in a good tennis sim.
I don’t play tennis irl, but these two games series I played the hell out of. Definitely need a new one.
Anna Kornikova’s Smash Court Tennis should have a come back!
Love them bomb blast games
Preferred the top spin series compared to Virtua but since Top Spin 4. Tennis games have been dire and bad. From bad development and junky controls nothing comes close to TS4. Only new Tennis game I've actually enjoyed has been Mario Tennis on the Switch
Microsoft's Xbox E3 2018 briefing is now a week away and it's basically guaranteed to include new Xbox 360 games to be enhanced for the Xbox One X. We've picked five of the greatest titles that could really use it.
I'd say the most important games are the ones filled with fun (filled with fun) and that Microsoft should start there
True. I wish they made more games in their franchises instead of the failure that is Sea of Thieves
@codelyoko
Sea of Thieves is Rare’s fastest selling game of all time, for the record.
@YodaCracker
Not only was it released on 2 platforms, which PC being the first time seeing a rare game. Those numbers are partly inflated by game pass and free trial's for game pass. For the record.
Just for anyone wondering, Gamespot gave the PS3/360 versions 9/10
