Top Spin 3

[munchin]

I saw a bizarre ad for Top Spin 4 today, flashed in-game images of players with the captions: "Can you match Agassi on Hard?" "Can you match Nadal on Clay?" "Can you match Wozniacki....on Grass(!!!!??!!!)" What on earth?

LOL

Maybe better if it asked "Can you match Caro in a Non-Slam event?"

But maybe the better question is, why use Caro? Did they not purchase the right to use either Williams sister, Kim, or Sharapova even?

Serena's in there, and I think Maria is too. I don't know how these decisions are made but I would imagine that Serena, Venus and Maria are the 3 most well-known and marketable female tennis players (athletes?) in the world, so getting all 3 might have been too rich for the producers' blood.

LOL. I'd be more threatened by Tanasugarn.

Um...have people seen this commercial for Top Spin 4? Apparently it was withdrawn for being a bit...over the top.

Overly Sexual Top Spin 4 Ad - starring Serena Williams!

Uh...wow!

Uh...wow!

And the music is still 10 times better than Rebecca Black's song!

I don't think I was the target audience for that ad.

I feel like maybe I am the target audience...in the way that I'm the target audience for Mommie Dearest.

Re: Top Spin 4 - I'm obsessed with this stupid, stupid game. I go home, pick up a book and see the Xbox staring at me from across the room. Cannot help myself.

I think this is kind of the de facto tennis video game thread. I saw this on Yahoo Sports today. It was a fun read for me, having played literally every game on this list plus about two dozen other tennis games. This guy's list is actually pretty terrible.

Every tennis game aficionado knows that any such list must include Sega Sports Tennis 2K2 (Virtua Tennis 2) and Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2. And Smash Court Tennis 3 and Virtua Tennis 4 are legitimately terrible games. Am I right or am I right!?!

For me it's all about Mario Tennis for N64 and Tennis Elbow (2006 and 2011, for totally different reasons).

I agree that Tennis Elbow is the bitchin'est, especially 2011.
