Top Spin
About the Game
Top Spin is the Xbox's first tennis game, and it's playable over Xbox Live, allowing players to compete in the XSN Sports Network. Over Xbox Live, two players can face each other in a one-on-one match, while in a doubles game up to four players can join. Stats are recorded and rankings are updated hourly at XSNsports.com. The game has a career mode that takes players all over the world.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The first step is to create a player and give him a technical mastery. Once in the game, players may compete in various tournaments. A higher skill will make for better and harder serves, more accurate and powerful back- and forehands, and the ability to keep the ball in play longer with volleys. In Exhibition mode, players may choose a created character or one of several real life pros, such as Pete Sampras or Anna Kournikova.
