    Gameplay's pretty good, but it can be extremely frustrating at times, especially in career mode when you're number 112 in the world playing roger federer for a match "for fun"...it's extremely hard to create the perfect player for online play.

    I was looking forward to this game more than any other on the 360. What a dissapointment. I'm a HUGE fan of the first game, and if 2k Would've just remade the 1st game with REAL next gen graphics that would've been enough for me. (Remember this game is not even made by the same studio who made the 1st one). Instead, they made it exactly as the 1st one but with lower I was looking forward to this game more than any other on the 360. What a dissapointment.

The graphics look almost like something out of the PS2. What a disgrace. And I'll tell you something: After seing the graphics of Fight Night Round 3 and being witness of the capabilities of the 360, I wonder... While the EA programmers in Figh Night may've spent countless nights polishing their game....what the f***k were the 2k people doing? Did they made this game in a rush or something? What a disgrace. And what a pathetic ending for a franchise with such high potential as Top Spin. And to think that I sold my copy of top spin 1 waiting for this one. I might just buy it back again. It's like 5 bucks in some online stores, I can play it on my 360 and It has better graphics than it's 360 attent of a sequel.… Expand

    This game is one of the hardest to give a accurate score for. Game play wise it isn't a huge leap ahead of the original Top Spin, but due to the extra in-game features and more recognized players to spa against, it makes it feel more interesting to play. Yeah the players float across the court but the variety of shots are all there, and it feels more authentic to control. Graphics This game is one of the hardest to give a accurate score for.

Yeah the players float across the court but the variety of shots are all there, and it feels more authentic to control. Graphics are good but not great. Personally I couldn't give a sh*t as the game play keeps your attention firmly on the court, so it shouldn't matter to most players but it doesn't scream 'next Gen'. like it ought to. Career mode is toilet and online is as shallow as a spit pool. It's so hard not to like it, but I can't help but feel it should be miles better than it is.… Expand

    The next-gen quotient could have been higher (the online area is fairly weak), as Top Spin 2 sometimes seems like a slightly better version of the original. A bit more thought put into the gameplay definition of “next-gen” would have paid large dividends.

    For a game trying to give a realistic tennis experience, the ranking and simulation system is downright embarassing.

    The gameplay has been sharpened to create an experience that expertly balances technicality and quick, accessible fun. Add to that a first-rate presentation and some solid solo and multiplayer offerings, and you've got a package that any tennis fan would be foolish to pass up.
