Default Top Spin vs. Virtua Tennis

I picked up Top Spin 3 at bargain price today (€14.99). I loved the first two games and they've outdone themselves with this one.

The learning curve is a bit steep, but once you master the controls it all feels very natural. It's all about timing and footwork, exactely like tennis should be. The career mode has been streamlined a bit more, and thankfully the awful load times from Top Spin 2 are gone.

Excellent game if you like tennis, highly recommended, especially at this price.

So naturally, some people are going to claim Virtua Tennis is better/more fun. (I'm looking at you Thom!). That's why included the poll. Let this be the end of it!

I don't hate Top Spin, I just think Virtua Tennis is more fun.

ok, lots to address:

- Virtua Tennis is better because it's more fun/pick up and play
- Top Spin ONCE you get the hang of it IS good. But still not better than Virtua
- Smash Court only has ONE good version, the Kounikova version on PS1. Awesoem game
- Thom. LOL. Sharapova is an ugly skank with no tits. Koounikova is, and always has been the most stunning creature womens tennis has ever seen. And she doesn't grunt like a mule. You need better taste in women my friend.

I don't agree. Virtua gets boring much faster, because it's the same trick every time. Top Spin has much more depth.

Fair enough.

Just doesn't seem as fun to me. I didn't mind Top Spin, don't get me wrong, just doesn't seem to have the fun factor that Virtua has.

Also,, I think the FIRSt Top Spin is still the best one
