Title: Top Spin 2


GS2 - June 23, 2006 08:25 AM (GMT)
Anyone got this? I just bought an XBOX 360 at the weekend and have been playing all week!

There's a few niggling annoyances (like career matches have sets that are first to 3 rather than 6) but mainly it's good. One good thing is that you actually get some epic matches which is quite rare in tennis games. The other day I won Wimbledon against Elena Dementieva (yeah right!) 4-3, 3-1, 10-8 after saving match points - I felt like Venus Williams!

I've got it on my PS2, I have to say I like the way you actually have to time the ball and everything, it's pretty good!

Ever played Smash court tennis 2 (I don't know if it came out on Xbox), because that's quite some gme too, although I found it a little too easy for my liking (although you try and return roddicks serve on it!)

I love Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2! I started a career and have dominated the tour since the Australian Open at the start. After 4 years, I have won the Grand Slam 4 times and have only lost 5 times. Twice to Serena, once to Kim, once to Steinseifer (that really pissed me off!), and once to Lindsay.

Nearly 50 titles, 16 Grand Slams!!! :)

My tightest match was against Serena were I won 7-6 6-7 7-6 at the Smash Pro Grand Prix in Roma in the Final. Was very tight! :phew:

I've heard that Top Spin 2 is an excellent game, but have never played on it. If I ever get round to buying a 360 I may get it. By then it should be quite cheap.

I think Virtua Tennis 2 is the best tennis game. Very arcadey and not very realistic but great fun :D If any tennis game was truly realistic though, no-one would play it as it would take forever just to complete one match.
