Ever since Wii Sports took our time away from us back in December 2006 we've been waiting for a really great tennis game to arrive on the Wii. Sega tried to fill that void back in April, but failed, so is Top Spin 3 a good tennis game on the Wii or just another game that doesn't fully utilise the Wii hardware?
Despite sharing its name with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions Top Spin 3 is a completely different game to the aforementioned versions. There are different modes and different controls. Unlike the next generation versions Top Spin 3 features three main options from the main menu; exhibition, road to glory and party games. Exhibition is your standard quick game mode, with road to glory being the main single player mode. The road to glory mode contains several different global challenges, such as the survival mode, which requires players to win 7 wins in a row. Ultimately though, the road to glory mode is only barely passable as a single player mode and the game's single player options are far more limiting on the Wii."
