4 Stars Not Perfect - but miles better than “Wii Tennis”
After about a year of playing the Wii Tennis that’s part of Wii Sports, I was hungry for a tennis game that looked more like real tennis and allowed me to move the player: This is it. Other reviewers detail the way this game lacks certain features and certain players, and they’re right: Nadal especially should have been included, as well as more women. But my main focus and goal in purchasing this game was to have more control over the players, as well as to play full first-to-six sets, which the fun-but-dopey Wii Tennis doesn’t have. And in that regard, Topspin 3 delivers.

Top Spin Tennis for the Wii
This is a more realistic game of tennis than that of Wii Sports and Sega Superstars Tennis. This game utilizes the Wii Remote to `swing’, and the Nunchuck to position your player, aim the ball, and get ready to serve. I found the game was more fun after going through the 2 pages of tutorials. This is not necessarily a game that you can play right out of the box, unlike Wii Sports. Unlike other games before it, it utilizes different physics from one court to the next and the players have different strengths. Not one player is maxed out in statistics, like in games like Tiger Woods (although, in his case, it probably is more like reality but back to Tennis).
Graphics is mediocre but there is no screen flicker or slowdown. There are replays and `screen action modes’ to get a zoomed up view of your player; however, it does get old so clicking `B’ gets you right back into the action. You can also perform gestures to show your happiness or frustration with your player. Music is actually good, and not repetitive.
Setup of your Wii remote involves holding it on its side, which is unconventional from the standard way to hold the remote, so it is awkward to start. You can opt for Normal Serve or Easy Serve/Special shot with the Nunchuck. What makes this game more realistic is the ability to aim your shot, make your player run to the baseline or net, hit Top Spins or Slice Shots. You can also perform Drop shots and lob shots.
I find Singles play to be easy for me. Conceptually, I cannot get into the rhythm of Doubles play, so I will pass.
Menu navigation is easy. There are three modes: Party, Exhibition and Road to Glory. Road to Glory involves progressing in your seeding through various events. Party involves winning by capitalizing on various aspects of a match.

There are a lot more technical factors when compared to Wii Sports. A lot of the physics from one court to the next are also very good.
Overall, it’s a very fun game.
4 Stars Great tennis game ever
I can’t stop playing this game. It’s very fun and makes me burn a lot of calories as you have to serve and swing as in a real tennis game.
I recommend this game to anybody who is a tennis fan.
2 Stars poor version of a very good game
I bougth this game a few week ago and it’s a completely poor version of a x-box 360 version, it’s only a few tounaments, you only can use the players of a very little list (and the half of this list is people that in my life a never knew in the tennis area), also very soon you can dominate the game and win every tournamet so easy, even if you set you opponent in ?very hard mode? So for me this gama wasn’t what i was waiting. the only very good thing that this game has is that the proffesional players hits the ball very similar than in the real life they do, like a federer’s backhand or a roddiks serve, but this is only one good thing against a lot of poor bad things.
5 Stars Nice Game
Very cool Game, and very intensive phisical activity. You have to train your self a little before being somehow “productive” in this game
