Top Spin 3 (Xbox 360, 2008)

This is a bold new version of the game of tennis that adds some twists to the standard control scheme but really pays off in the end. Top Spin 3 is as good as it comes graphically from the player models to the actual arenas. Players look and play like their real-life counterparts including signature grunts and groans! As mentioned earlier there is a new control scheme which incorporates the right analog stick and takes some time and patience to get used to but is definitely worth all the effort in the long run. Once you've mastered the new scheme you will have more control over where you place your shots than in previous tennis efforts. Some notable tennis stars and legends are missing but that doesn't detract from the hours of fun you will experience with this one. A great buy!
