Top Spin is back for round 3. The realistic-looking tennis game will include players such as Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, as well as Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles. 2K Sports notes that the "classic legends" players (Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg and Monica Seles) will not be available on all of the gaming platforms. Oddly, the only exclusive character is Rafael Nadal on the Playstation 3 console.

From the announcement:
"Top Spin 3 offers the most authentic gameplay and features, including signature player animations and expressions, weather changes and situation-specific behaviors, along with revamped audio with enhanced crowd reaction.

Fans will also have the opportunity to play on more than 40 prestigious and visually stunning venues from around the world such as Roland Garros in Paris (French Open) and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (Australian Open). Adding to the immersive gameplay experience, fans can utilize a new and innovative Player Creator to customize their own unique tennis stars with free-form body sculpting, makeup and tattoos. Competitive players will also be able to create matches online and test their skills against friends or other ranked players around the world."

Top Spin 3 will be released in Spring 2008 on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii and DS.

Yet again when game designers attempt to produce an innovative and 'realistic' tennis game they fall well short of the mark. This game has left out some of the biggest names of tennis in the open era notably the Williams sisters on the Women's roster and Djokovic on the Men's roster. This game is yet more evidence that shows just how little research these designers have done into a sport that they have no knowledge of. Monica Seles in my opinion was more legendary for introducing the pig like scream into tennis, where is Graf or Navratilova? How about Sampras or Connors? This game is an ill designed copy of top spin 2 except they have made the roster much worse by taking out the top 10 big names of the sport, keeping players who are ranked in the 20's-50's and hoping we the customer will not notice. Overall a big thumbs down from me.
Not complete?
