Gamedaily: Top Spin 3 Review

Gamedaily writes: "Tennis games should be immediately accessible, with simple to learn controls that allow anyone to hit the court and serve like a pro, but also have plenty of depth to separate dedicated players from n00bs. That's the way it's always been until Top Spin 3, 2K Sports' maddeningly difficult sequel to the respected sports franchise. Instead of creating a game everyone can play, its developers concocted an experience so frustrating that we'd pay to see Roger Federer blast copies into orbit with 122mph rocket serves.

Top Spin 3 irritates us because it doesn't work, and when it does, it's horrible. Why? It relies on a more realistic approach where you need to time body movement and positioning with your shots, frustrating mechanics that go against previous tennis games, which offered pick-up and play controls."
