The Top Spin series has been incredibly popular since its inception and with the latest release on the next generation consoles the success is sure to continue. 2K games with developer PAM have rather surprisingly totally overhauled the gameplay mechanic and while it is for the better, does it actually work?

While the introduction sounds dramatic just for the hell of a good lead-in, this is not the case, I have tested every tennis game released in the last two years and Top Spin 3 was virtually unplayable for me in the first hour. If you are a person who loves to be rewarded for long term practice then this might very well be right up your street because the short term rewards are hair loss and much swearing at the screen.

I tried the xbox 360 demo. I liked it. The visuals are especially well done.

I found it very hard to control my plays how I wanted. It must be very rewarding when you're good but it's also very frustrating when you're not.
