GameSpy: Top Spin 3 (PS3/360) Review

GameSpy writes: "This past weekend's Wimbledon final between five-time champion Roger Federer and main rival Rafael Nadal was an all-time classic even before it finished. From Nadal overcoming a huge deficit in the second set to take a 2-0 lead, to Federer fighting off two championship points in the fourth in an epic tiebreak, to both players refusing to be broken in the fifth as night descended upon the stadium, it was a match for the ages.

With so many tennis lovers pumped up after that intense match, many of them will turn to videogames to let off that extra steam in the digital realm, or to replay their favorite moments from Wimbledon. 2K Sports has recently released Top Spin 3, and the next-gen versions of the game feature crisp visuals, smooth, lifelike animation routines, and a host of real-life players including cover athletes Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, and Andy Roddick."

Pros:
+Unique control scheme that provides a more realistic-feeling experience
+richly detailed visuals

Cons:
-Steep learning curve can lead to frustrated players
-Stuttery frame-rate at times
-Nadal is PS3-exclusive
3.5 / 5
