Top Spin 3 Review
Instead of running up to a shot with the proper face button held and watching the stroke animation carry out as you would in the past, Top Spin 3 forces a more realistic approach.
Now you'll not only have to worry about getting your athlete, who now moves with increased inertia, to the ball but you'll also need to time the release of the shot button with the swing. The game lets you know when you've completed a solid hit with a small vibration, and while it may sound simple enough, the many Top Spin veterans who have stepped up to the plate to try the new mechanic have had serious growing pains.
All in all the gameplay additions that they've made to the Top Spin formula are great for simulating tennis. There are some gamers out there who will undoubtedly give up before mastering the new hitting mechanic, but tennis diehards will definitely appreciate how much better the hitting feels in Top Spin 3.
BUT!!!
But real disappointment is that the game is missing world's best players!!!
It's rather boring to play a tennis game without the game's best players like Djokovic(3rd in the world), Ivanovic(w, 1st in the world), Jankovic (2nd) and some other great players!
All in all:
Top Spin 3 is good tennis simulation, but it doesn't give you a complete satisfaction when playing, because there aren't enough real world players! And if 2K thought they can get off with that just by giving you option to make up some players, they were terribly wrong!!!
SO, TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY?!
Well, if you are a hard core tennis fan, do not buy this game, it's not right thing for you, believe me. It will be disappointment for you.
If you just looking for a good tennis simulation and you don't really care about how many real-world players the game has,than buy it!
