Top Spin 2

Released this Friday apparently. Must have missed that one. I heard the original xbox version was pretty popular...think it's worth getting?

Oooh I'd forgotten about this one...

I've got it on pre-order

Davey_Pitch · 3 Apr 2006 at 22:35

I loved the first one, but as this isn't being made by the same team, I'll be waiting for a review or two before I decide whether to get it or not. Looks promising though.

First one was great, but going to wait for the reviews and first hand accounts to come in before I buy it.

I read the Gamespot review yesterday, I think it got 8.2

Sounded good but not great, seemed to be a lack of online options

I've only played the demo of Top Spin (1) on the Xbox, but I didn't like its camera angles at all, and it sounds like Top Spin 2 is the same. Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast is miles better in that regard. And it has a solid framerate which Top Spin (going by the demo) doesn't.

I had it on preorder for a few months but then cancelled it, but yesterday I preordered it again...

Hopefully should be good over Xbox Live and have an OcUk tournament if there are enough players

7.8 on IGN.com - http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/699/699776p1.html

From reading that, I'll definitely be renting it at some point to see how good it is, but it's not one I'll be buying just yet. Shame, but at least I still have the XBox and Top Spin 1 to keep me going.

Find friend, beat him over the head repeatedly, take back Top Spin. Job done

Loved the first Top Spin, even though Henmann wasn't on it, suppose you would need a major championship under your belt to be considered
