Top Spin 3 has been announced to be ready for release
2k Sports' latest game, Top Spin 3, is no longer in development and ready to hit the shelves on June 24th in the North America region for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS platforms. Top Spin 3 is 2k Sports' third iteration of the popular "Top Spin" series that has said to have been one of the most real tennis video games out there.
Featuring (in order from left to right) Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, and Andy Roddick on the front cover of the box, three of the world's most dominating tennis players, Top Spin 3 is sure to hold a vast roster to choose from, including past greats such as Boris Becker and Monica Seles. As an added bonus, over 20 of these players have their tennis styles precisely and marvelously displayed during matches. A remarkably in-depth player creator mode lets you adjust and design features of the player from cosmetic aspects such as tattoos and hairstyles, to more physical things such as the screams and grunts, or the movement he or she will use to swing.
The graphics of the Top Spin series have always been praised, and it is no different this time. The weather conditions during matches are very clear, as well as the amazing courts to play on. One of the main attractions though is that you can see the players start to sweat, get dirtier, and start to heat up while you are still enjoying the game! Apparently, an excellent control system is also involved to help give players more control over their players' movements, as well as the racket and ball that they control. Different difficulties for the controls are also included, to give you the chance to understand the basics of the game before moving embarking on the endeavour of mastering maneuvers that even the pro's sometimes have a tough time with.
New modes have also been added in, so the basic world tournament and exhibition modes won't be the only one to keep you occupied. An Online mode allows you to play with a maximum of two separately connected consoles in one of the four online modes available including quick matches and a world tour mode!
