Solid Game, nothing special

User Rating: 7.5 | Top Spin 3 X360
I was expecting a lot from topspin 3, i actually bought this rather than VT 3 or VT 2009; and i regret that decision.

The controls are solid until you get to the right analog serves, which are quite disastrous, and in my opinion shouldn't be part of the game. Neither should the risk shots, these for me ruin the game (especially multiplayer) and are inconsistent, SCRAP THEM! The controls are quite easy once you find a rythm for them, you should definetley do topspin school before entering the career mode or exhibition. Because you will get mauled!

The career mode has a lot of potential, but is let down by the mall. I have over 70 000 unlock points to buy things with, but i don't need to. IMO they should have ratings for the tennis rackets, whats the point of buying a tennis racket if it isn't going to be any better than the one you already have. Also i don't like the cap on your rating to an overall of 70. The good things about the carrer r that it is very deep but sometimes tedious, i really like the player creator, lots of detail on the player.

The graphics are excellent probably some of the best player graphics ever on a sports game.

Multiplayer is good, but risk shots are so overpowered, and if you can't hit them, because there is no skill pairings you are likely to get smashed a lot.

Overall it is a good game but needs something new which you don't get
