Good but September 25, 2008
The controls are a bit tricky, while great away from the net, its near impossible to play when your at the net. I give it A for effort on being innovative with the controls, they just need to work on it some more.
 Best tennis game to date September 4, 2008

This game is as good as it gets not only among tennis sims but for sports games in general. If you don't enjoy a challenge and don't want to have to work to excel at a game then this one definitely isn't for you, but it's very rewarding. At first the controls and timing are pretty frustrating and until you get it down you may not like it, but if you put in the effort to learn how to play it well you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a game you can just throw in and dominate then buy the Virtua Tennis series.
This game is very realistic and if you enjoy tennis it has exceptional replay value. The levels of difficulty are quite distinct and it takes a lot of time and effort to excel at the highest level. It's primary weaknesses are that it's missing some of the big names in tennis and that the career mode doesn't have training or practice options like some of the other tennis sims but it does start you out at the junior level which is unique. Overall this game is a great success and is definitely THE tennis game to buy for the PS3.
If your a tennis fan or are into sports games this is definately one you should own. August 19, 2008

Had it for a month now and still play it very regularly by myself and with a friend haven't got into the online much as yet. It's Best tennis sim out and so far the most impressive sports game since NBA2K8. I expected a bigger selection of top seeded players but you do have the create a player option.
The learning curve is highly over exaggerated and its pretty easy to get use.

 Not the greatest Tennis Sim July 11, 2008

Basically, Top Spin 3 is a tennis game that tries to overcomplicate itself in order to take the title of "most realistic tennis game." I don't think thats a good thing. The career mode is very linear and doesn't give you much room to do much. If you really need to play another Tennis game the only thing recomending this game is the online play, which is atleast competitive on the PS3.
The downfall of this game for me is the clunky controls and its repetitiveness which make for boring play after awhile. Be prepared to spend an hour or so when you first get the game practicing in the Top Spin school to learn the odd timing of the game. For many people this may seem like the most realistic game in terms of controls, but I feel it is in fact far to clunky to really bring off its complicated design. I also feel that the running in the game is the worst of all the Tennis game's out at the moment. Making a *good* running shot is extremely hard in this game and there is realistically only one way to hit good winners and the timing does not make a whole lot of sense if you understand tennis at all.
Essentially you have to conform to this game's timing in order to do well and strategy is more of a secondary role. In career mode stat building determines wins more then good play and if you expect to make lots of "down the line" passing shots prepare yourself to really get spot on timing for these, the game is really unforgiving in this area ( which is both a good thing and a bad thing ).
This is not a pick up and play game, you have been warned. But when all is said and done the game does not have alot going for it except online play. You want variety along with good game play I suggest Virtua Tennis or Top Spin 2. I hear a new Smash Court will be coming stateside soon, I suggest waiting to see how it is.
