 not bad May 19, 2008
graohically very nice and all! I guess I have been spoiled by Wii! so! the gameplay is no where close to the Wii system! Sorry to be comparing but I think sports game should cannot be played on traditional controls !it takes half off the fun and the Excercise!
I would be looking for topspin for Wii! its a waste of time for PS3 or XBox 360
 No Mans Land January 28, 2008
players hitting in no mans land shows how this game is nothing like real tennis.everybody on xbox live hits in no mans land and in the game thats the best way to win points.but in real tennis no mans land is death.you should either be inside the servers box to make a volley or behind the baseline.other problems with this arcade style game you cant get in close to make a big server pay for hitting a huge serve by using his pace off his serve to send back a fast return and come in off it.also players walk backwards which as you know in real tennis players dont take backwards steps.i noticed playing this game on xbox live the best players are always the ones who come from france so on a hunch i looked at the credits at the back of the top spin booklet and sure enough all the names of the people who made this game are french names like pierre and jean claude.coincedence?i think not.this game is a step down from the first one.the quickest player is the one who wins.this game has nothing to do with how to construct a point and work a point using your tennis brain like smashcourt tennis 2 does.it just matters if you have speed.the fastest player wins.the graphics are great but great graphics dont mean a great game.if you wanna play a great tennis game that stays true to real tennis i recommend smashcourt tennis 2.top spin 2 is too arcade like and players are too fast and run down everything.in this game they make it so power is the way to win and in real tennis power isnt the way to win.edberg beat players who were much more powerful than him with the volley which takes away speed and power.but on this game you cant do it thats why everybody online stays at the baseline.not one person serves and volleys in this game online.i just hope when smashcourt tennis 3 comes out it isnt a dissapointment like this sequel was.
A good buy, but could be a little better... June 17, 2007
I was a huge fan of the first Topspin game and love to play tennis, so I eagerly anticipated the release of this game. I actually bought my 360 so I could play Topspin 2. The game didn't disappoint, and I raced through my first career. Topspin 2 is an upgrade over the original title for a variety of reasons, including a more in-depth player construction (attributes, body features, etc.) and a more complicated career. The game includes more of the modern stars, but Rafael Nadal sadly is missing. This game is fun to play, but it has some problems:
Pros: - Realistic tennis experience
- Well thought out and long career
- Accurate attributes on the licensed pro players
- Realistic shots allow for strategy to be incorporated
- Easy to customize players attributes
Cons: - Missing many top players: Nadal, Murray, Davydenko, Monfils,
Djokavic, Nalbandian, Ljubicic, etc. (though you cant blame 2K
Sports, because some of these players hadn't yet come to power
when the game was produced)
- Tournaments aren't well contructed: the #1 seed plays the #2
seed in the quarterfinals an awful lot
- Once you get good, the career mode is much too easy, with no
visible way to change the difficulty (for the career)
- This isn't a big issue, but the clay of the French Open is
ridiculously bright, with no way to toggle the brightness
settings
The cons may seem like a much longer list, but that is because they are so subtle that they must be explained. This game is a good buy for the gamer that wants tennis realism. If realism is no issue, perhaps buy Virtua Tennis 3. Or, if your a true gamer/fan, buy them both!
 Top Spin 2 betters itself significantly in spite of what experts say May 28, 2007

On my LCD tv, I have not seen a 360 game to date that comes close graphically and its overall gameplay. The downside and what TS2 got slammed for was not having and new features and also the limited rosters. I agree with the rosters as a game flawl and also lack of different difficulty settings but as far as not having any new features... I think they got it right the first time. Must play for anyone who has the slightest interest in tennis or for someone who is just looking for a fun sports game aside from the usual Madden or NBA Live game.
Topspin 1 Better April 10, 2007

I think topspin 1 was much better than this one. The online features aren't nearly as entertaining and that's the main reason I bought 2.
