Topspin is a great game for those who say "Hey! I just started tennis i like that a lot, so i'll buy a tennis game!" It's a great tennis game but to simple. There's not too much to do. The only strategy in this game is to make your opponent run, you can't wait for your opponent to miss a shoot, it won't work. The different kind of shoots are good but the slice is useless, in a normal tennis game, it's to make your opponent miss a shoot, but it doesn't work! The best shoot is the "coup lifté" (sorry i'm not that good in english) because it's the one with the most precision. The way to increase your player's capacity isn't that good either. The best things are speed and precision, without these you can't win a match. The shops are useless, it's just to customize your player, even the shop for the tennis racquette is useless, if you use a Wilson or a Head, it's all the same. I loved it, but there are some defaults. In fact, the game is just too simple, you increase your speed and precision, shoot with the "B" button and that's all! It's a good game but if you now well tennis, you can find better.
