Top Spin 3 

 

I will come out on the court and cleanly admit something. I did not expect much from Top Spin 3 on the Nintendo DS. This hand held machine has not been a power house for sports games. In fact the majority of them have been lacking in one fashion or another. So I had certain preconceptions when I turned on my DS and started to play Top Spin 3. Thankfully I have an open mind, and am able to change my opinions about a game. Top Spin 3 is a fun little tennis game that is very realistic.

The visual realism in Top Spin 3 is way better than I could have hoped for. Various courts look good, and the tennis ball is easy to track. I also had no problems seeing where the ball was going. The players animate very realistically in this hand held video game too. I paid close attention to the attire of the females. They look like they do in real life. Most everything is covered up, but there can be some short skirts.

2K Sports kept the realism going in the audio department of Top Spin 3. The clapping in the stands by the fans made me feel like I was actually there. The announcer also did a fantastic job in this Nintendo DS video game. I did not find any offensive language while playing Top Spin 3.

If you have a friend who has this same game then the two of you can play Top Spin 3 together. There are plenty of various modes and ways to play Top Spin 3 for the DS. Tournaments, career mode, mini games, and playing with real tennis pros are a sampling of these modes. Top Spin 3 includes a nice array of unlockable content. I found myself replaying Top Spin 3 because of the difficulty level.

Top Spin 3 is a competitive video game. You will not walk all over the pros. They will make mistakes, and you will have opportunities. I just want our fantastic readers to know that Top Spin 3 is not a cake walk. If you are up for a challenge then this is a great tennis game. I enjoy a challenge, and this hand held game kept me on my toes. With that said it is a lot of fun making the computer run all over the court trying to stop me. 2K Sports did a really smart thing in my opinion. They put the controls the way they should be. No gimmicky touch screen only controls in all of the gameplay. Tennis action controls with the D-pad and buttons.

Tennis is a sport that I have always enjoyed. Personally I prefer getting out on the court and getting some exercise. With that said I will be recommending Top Spin 3 to friends, family, and pastors I know. The level of realism and feel to this game is just right. Gamers can learn to play fair, and compete against some of the greats.
