Top Spin 4 is an excellent game. What it lacks in facial animations, commentary and Kinect support, it more than makes up for with one of the best control systems in a tennis game to date. If the holy grail of gaming is “easy to learn, difficult to master” then no other crusaders need apply. Moreover, Xbox 360 owners will be happy to hear that the joypad controls are so subtle and intuative that you’ll never want for motion control.
If you are looking for an arcade-style smasher with lots of bells and whistles, you might want to wait a few weeks to see what Virtua Tennis 4 has to offer before you make your decision. But if you are looking for a deeper game that gets better with time and experience, Top Spin 4 is for you.
Top Spin 4 is a fantastic addition to perhaps the oldest genre in gaming. Truly worthy of the term “simulator”, it rewards patience and ingenuity with one of the most satisfying mechanics in gaming.
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
