4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to learn, but fun once you know how to play, October 8, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is not like most other tennis games out there. Specifically, when compared to a game like Virtua Tennis 3, the learning curve is much harder. The first week was spent mistiming the swings and either missing completely or performing really weak returns that made me wonder how I could make Federer look so clumsy. Where virtua tennis allows for fun pickup games with people that might not have played the game before, it's painful to play against or watch someone that hasn't learned how to play top spin.

However, after a few weeks of playing the game, I'm consistently able to perform strong serves and groundstrokes. The game has a more realistic feel to it: The characters move at a slower and natural pace, when compared to virtua tennis. Off-balance shots you take when running to the ball, have a chance of hitting the net, even if you time things well.

The online play isn't stellar, but at least it exists. The main problem I have with online play is that against the majority of people I play, their connections are laggy. The lag only manifests when you are about to swing at the ball, which sometimes causes me to mistime the release (your player and the ball basically stutter, as the game tries to synchronize the information on your swing to the other player). Another problem with online play is that there is no way to specify that you want to play against someone on your PS3 friends list, so you always get paired against a random player.

Overall, once you learn how to use the controls for the game, I give this game 5 stars for non-online play, but 3 stars for online play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good game, January 15, 2009
By D. H Mark (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I am new to video gaming, but am a former expert tennis player, and have downloaded the demo to Virtua tennis 3 to compare.
for someone who actually plays tennis and is willing to work at this game, there is no comparison, Topspin is absolutely completely better and more realistic as a tennis game. Virtua 3 is cartoonish and annoying.
It is harder and you have to work at the timing to get it, it is pretty counterintuitive in the beginning. You totally flail and fail for quite a while.
I'll note the problems from a tennis player's perspective:

Difficult to work in stroke type (topspin, slice) into the game because you have to press the button determining stroke type so early before the shot. Not realistic to have to plan the type of stroke so early. But simply using a single stroke, and "working" a ralley to move the opponent around is the strong point of the game.

Net play is not very satisfying, difficult to learn to aim volleys, simply does not translate that experience of the game very well.

The tennis lessons are barely adequate in teaching the skills needed to play the game, lack sufficient explanation of how the game works, offer cryptic and confusing feedback on what went wrong, and often leave you stuck in the middle of a lession because you can't hit some small target in exactly the way they wanted. Although necessary, the lessons are barely tolerable. After playing this game for a month, still uncertain as to the range of control the player has for aiming, controlling depth of shots-- no systematic way to find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice game, June 25, 2008
By Alex C (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I got the game yesterday and have been playing it on an off since and it's really nice. The graphics are really nice and player details are the best I've ever seen in a tennis game. The controls will take some time to get used to but once I get a hang of it I'll do much better. The create a player feature is really nice also whereas you can create any body shape you want, just nice. I really buy it for the online feature but have yet to used it as I'll still trying to get used to the controls.

Anyway, great game and it was worth the wait. The soundtrack is also nice and I love the fact they don't play annoying music as a default in the matches.
