What's the best Ps3 Tennis game

[cricketics]

Okay, I didn't know where to put this thread. I opened it here thinking it's the most popular and busy section. Mods can move it later.

But, please recommend me some good PS3 tennis game.

Thanks

Gotta go TopSpin 4.

Final Fantasy 13, F.E.A.R. 3, and Topspin 4

I like to know this too. Which one, but more importantly, why?

I've played virtua tennis in the past, but that doesnt do it for me. I want it to be as realistic as possible. Harder to hit up the line than crosscourt.. more ue's on more difficult shots, some serious netplay instead of diving all the time, the ability to hit aces, to hit the net etc. Is there any game that comes close to a simulation game instead of just arcade?

im fairly sure topspin is the only decent tennis game out there.
that should be answer enough.

topspin 4 is crazy good

 

[cricketics]

Thanks for the replies folks. So Top Spin 4 is the latest one?

Topspin 4 doesn't do all of these perfectly but it definitely does it better than any other game out there

Okay, thanks.. Since I'm considering buying it, could you tell a bit more? Is it realistic in anyway? What does still bug you?

So there is Top Spin 4 that's out right now and Grand Slam Tennis 2 which comes out in Feb. There are demo's available for each game in the PSN Store and XBL Marketplace so try them before you buy.

Top Spin 4 = More realistic gameplay that rewards skill. Harder to master, but will benefit those who put in time. The presentation of the game is a bit mundane though.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 = More arcade like gameplay that ANYONE can get decent at in a few tries. This is good if you want to play with friends who want to be able to have fun with the game. (This is the case with the demo, we'll see how the retail version pans out). The presentation of the game is top notch and there is even commentary while you play.

Again, try the demo's and see which one suits you more.

Top spin 4....

Top Spin 4. It is also available cheap on Amazon and Best Buy. Grab it. At these prices, it's incredible value.

Finally, the best ever tennis game will be Grand slam tennis 2, which is releasing shortly. But it will be something like 70 bucks for pre-order

Where do you see $70 pre-order? It's at gamestop.com for $49.99: http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/grand-slam-tennis-2/95517

Also, from the demo version, unless they fix some obvious problems, it will be far from the greatest tennis game. In their current forms, Top Spin still has an edge over it. Like I said, we'll see how the retail version pans out.

Not from a video game point of view, but from a tennis point of view (concerning the PS Move, in other words) there really isn't one yet; I've read a lot of bad reviews regarding Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis.

But I'm expecting a lot from Grand Slam Tennis 2.

From all the Wii tennis and indeed racket games, EA's Grand Slam Tennis was the only one that actually made sense if you see the wii remote as a substitute for a racket: it was the only one where you actually AIM the ball (the ball goes where you aim it, rather than when you time it).
