Top Spin 4 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I find it a combination of amusing and very frustrating in Top Spin 4 when playing in any one of the four Grand Slam events. Allow me to elaborate, you see, with my created player I had worked very hard to figure out certain play styles of certain pros such as Federer and Nadal, and I had progressed to the point of domination against the top tier talent. My created player was just now entering into his first Slam where I was confident since I had previously beat Fed, Nadal (twice on clay), Djoker, etc... I cruised into the semi final where I drew Davydenko who had upset Djoker. I was confident in my victory since I had annihilated Davy in other events but was shocked when he destroyed me in straight sets with caliber of shots I had not yet seen in this or previous Top Spins. I was upset but I continued my Slam quest and again cruised to a semi final to be slaughtered by the Djoker who I had beat probably ten or more times before. I think it is amazingly stupid that at one certain point every time you all of a sudden cannot defeat an opponent who other times isn't much competition. I fought extra hard and finally advanced past a semi in a slam and went on to lose the final but in a valiant showing. Overall the game is pretty sick and plays very well with awesome graphics... but you better put on your big boy pants come semi finals in a Slam event!

Great graphics and players' movements. Very realistic feel- great deal of your game will rely on anticipation. If you moved wrong way or out of position your return will be imposible, just like in real tennis when opponent catches you on a 'wrong foot'. New way of hitting and timing ,as mentioned above, takes few hours to get used to but with good coordination should not be a problem.
I'm good in tennis and i like this game. I started to play it on hard my first time(to give you comparison on how you'd match ). If you are 'Mario Tennis' like player- this game is not for you. But if you look for a tennis simulator- this is it.
