The Nintendo Wii system has become very popular among sports fans, simply because of the advanced functionality of being able to actually swing instead of using a controller with many of the games. Top Spin 3, one of the latest tennis games for Wii has skyrocketed to success, so we had to give it a try and see if it was worth all the hype. We were pleasantly surprised by many of the features, and although there is no replacement for the real game, this is a fun way to kill an afternoon, or to get a little practice in when you can’t get on the courts.
The main features of the game include the ability to play against real tennis stars, and for many this is a dream come true. You control the game by using the Wii remote, just like you would a regular tennis racquet, complete with overhands and backhands. We would have liked to have seen the inclusion of a special racquet with the game to give it a better overall feel, but we found the remote produced very realistic actions.
If you want to play against your friends, the new split screen mode is spectacular and allows you to see how each of you are playing at the exact same time. This was probably one of the best features in our opinion and we found it to be a lot of fun. The included tutorials will walk new players through the game and how to control the remote, and once again, we found these to be very useful.
We highly recommend using the tournament mode to become better at the game. In this mode, you’ll be playing eleven games on the road to winning the championship and this is great fun mixed with some great real life exercise. The competitive aspects of the game make it enjoyable and should interest kids to really take part and have fun. Overall, we found this to be one of the best tennis games currently on the market, and certainly our favorite for Wii, despite a few drawbacks.
We loved the game and highly recommend it both to tennis fans and sports fans in general. In fact, after a few turns, even the most anti-tennis person may find themselves changing their mind. The game is fast paced and has numerous options to keep you interested for a long time. While it’s not exactly like playing tennis, it’s as close as you can come and it looks like it’s only going to get better with future releases.
This is a great game for kids if you’re trying to get them to be more active and take part in sports. You never know, you may have a future Sampras or Williams on your hands once they give this game a try and discover that they love tennis. It’s a great gift and the price is quite low considering the cost of similar games.
