highly recommended

Challenging game

The controls are not intuitive and it'll take you some time before you get used how to play, but if you take the lessons you'll be ok with that. The game is very realistic and it's more of a tennis simulator than arcade. The career mode is very fun and challenging, since you create your own player and start from scratch. The only thumb down is that the online matches are random. If you're into tennis, you definetely should own it. If you're not familiar with the sports, then you should probably buy the VT series.

Top Spin 3 isn't a game you can just pick up and play, there is a learning curve needed. You can't just whiz around the court like in Virtua Tennis which is more akin to pong. In Top Spin 3 you need skill in positioning, timing, and knowing when to pull off the right moves. Highly recommended for those that want a videogame closest to the real sport.

Fun once you get the hang of it

Not perfect but its better than Virtual Tennis 3 and Top Spin 2. In VT3, the ball rarely even goes out so its not much of a challenge. TS2 is the worst out of the three because risk shots are near impossible to do and really takes away an important feature (and fun factor) to the game. So far TS3 feels a lot more fun and challenging to play.. with one complaint, the risk shot feature. Its still difficult to use but a little better than in TS2, at least now I am able to perform power serves and aces on a consistent basis. 2K needs to seriously rethink the risk shot system and make it a little easier since its frustrating and a chore to use. With that complain aside, once you go through the Top Spin school and get the hang of the timing and positioning the gameplay is incredibly fun. Graphics are top notch and authentic as well, better than VT3 IMO. Nice little details like the players start sweating later during the match and get grass stains on their clothing. I just bought my PS3 two weeks ago and already I have two 2K games, the other being NBA 2K9. Gotta give it up for 2K for their nice effort in putting out "sports simulations" over arcadey action. If you are willing to put in a little time to learn the gameplay it is pretty fun overall. Its offers more challenge and depth, hard to master and keeps it from being repetitive.

Takes some time but fun.

This game is great. I have played it before on other systems and love it just as much on my new PS3.

Bad first - The most annoying thing to me was starting out the game, the timing is tough to get down and it took a good week of playing to cut down on just straight up missing the ball which was really frustrating at first. Now that I have played the game for over a month I really enjoy the gameplay. I like the timing system because it allows a swing of momentum, you can just hold and swing away, leads to tougher matches against the top players. The dropshot is awful and nearly impossible to make effecting during a match. I can't think of a time where I even tried to use it.
Worst- Scoring during the matches... during your career the matches (before you are a pro) are only 1 set 3 games. I hated it. You couldn't get into the match at all when you were just starting out, you break serve and its pretty much over before you know it. When you turn pro it goes to 2 sets 3 games each and a super tiebreak to decide the winner which is better but I would like to see 6 games per set. I know it would be longer but makes it way better.

Other than those few problems I have with the game which even if someone told me about I would still have gotten the game because the I love the gameplay, and is by far the best game for tennis out there. Closing thing to the real stuff without looking like an arcade game. Its worth playing because once you do get better at timing it is alot of fun!

Do buy and enjoy!
