Video Game Reviews of Top Spin 3

Customer Review: Good Exersize but A Little Frustrating
Summary: 4 Stars

I played Top Spin on the XBOX at a friends house and loved it. So when I got a wii and found out that there was Top Spin 3 available I got it without reading a review. I like the game but I understand the negative comments given so far. Here's my break down of the game.

Tutorial: Limited. You have to figure the game out by trial and error. It pretty much tells you swing, serve, and volley basics and then you're on your own.

Menus: Annoying music. Especially the opening song. Navigating through the game is intuitive.

Game play ground strokes: Hitting a cross-court shot on the run is pretty difficult. But I love the strategy and the ability to hit drop-shots and lobs. I can hit slices and top spin shots. Sometimes, my player backs up instead of turning and running which is pretty annoying. It's hard to judge whether I need to prepare for a backhand or a forehand sometimes and body serves are almost imposible to judge. I have gotten hit many times in a match. I have a lot of trouble judging where to stop and swing and 50% of the time I overrun the spot that I need to stop.

Serving and returning: I'd love to be able to hit kick serves, slice serves, flat ones up the middle; but I just can't figure it out. The fastest I can get Andy Roddick to serve is about 129mph. But some dude named Cummings aced me with a 150mph that makes no since. My guys gets aced all the time with pretty slow serves but I rarely ace the computer.

Volleying: Just plain hard. But then so is the case in real life.

Road to Glory: This is the best part of the game in my opinion. You work your way up to the grand slams and then it gets really hard. It's kind of weird playing women when I'm playing a man in a grand slam. It's even weirder that some woman with pajama bottoms and very short shirt (covering a very untennis player like chest, sorry Serena) would be my opponent in a grand slam. But even more wierd is that she's serving up aces at 125mph and Andy Roddick can't! But it's still fun and you can save your progress and try again if you fail to win.

The doubles are alot of fun but playing singles against someone is weird becase a player has to be on the far end were everything is kind of small and opposite (it doesn't split screen like in Wii Sports). There are also some party games that I havent tried out but overall I have gotten alot of exersize with this game and the difficulty of the slams keep me constantly searching for a solution to defeating the computer with a slow moving and, apparently inferior, Andy Roddick avatar.
