What I love most about the game of tennis is the silence quickly followed by the roar. The crowd plays a huge factor with the atmosphere as well. Whether it is a grass court or a clay court, the way the match is played changes. Even though it may fit better into the gameplay section, the way the courts impact the game must be mentioned here. I also really like how the crowd and announcers change in volume and intensity based on the locale of the event.ĭustin: Top Spin has set the new bar for tennis games. Top Spin just looks more like a TV broadcast, and I love the little stat windows that pop up occasionally. Both games feature some nice camera work, good replays, ambient and varied crowds and effective graphics. Who's on top?Ĭaley: I give the edge here to Top Spin, though I think it's closer than one might expect. On the other side, Top Spin 4, 2K's tennis sim and remnant of the XSN Sports brand. On one side of the court is Virtua Tennis 4, an arcade-focused title that's been around since the Dreamcast.
Both series have been around for a while - each is on its fourth iteration. We've been graced with two current tennis titles this spring, each with different features, functionality and focuses.
