Don't Buy This Game For PS3...

I remember a few years back when the X-Box came out, there was a demo of Top Spin that either came with the systems or was given to certain stores for display model purposes. I tried the game then, and I loved it, controls worked great, really a well-made game. Thinking that these guys must be on top of things, I went out and bought Top Spin 3 when it came out on PS3, which is currently the only game system I own (personally, that is, my family has other systems in this house, but not that I regularly use.) Well, 2K Sports really laid the egg on this offering in the TS series. As the game starts up, you see all the most popular players are available as well as some legends, though many of the greats were left out, don't know where these guys got their roster ideas, but it is frustrating to see some of the losers on here that aren't that good and just have a good fan base. As for the controls, this game sucks worse than any I have EVER played. You have to hold a button just to get your player to run fast, otherwise he just watches the ball go by as he slowly walks/jogs to it. Then, while holding this button you are to,NOT press another button to hit the ball, you have to hold one of the four shot buttons and then release it when you are ready to hit, which is completely backwards and nearly impossible to get used to when EVERY other game out there works by pushing the button, not by releasing it. I played this game twice, and now I am selling it ASAP. It is boring, horribly planned and obviously just put together so that they don't lose out on their portion of the PS3 cash cow. I'll still watch tennis, but I will never buy another tennis game without a good review first.
