I noticed a "2" on Armleg's gamer card indicating that he's now the proud owner of Top Spin 2. As you can see, the HD rendering of Maria Sharapova is breathtaking. Hopefully, Armleg will give us a review when he has a chance. And watch out for Dunkel if this game ever makes it into his hands. He was ruthless at Top Spin 1.

That's just plain nasty
I need to edit that off...
I did something _____off to it.
Sorry about that last comment. Top Spin 2 is a good sports game. The career mode is a good feature and since I didn't have the first Top Spin I have no frame of reference to review from. Just looking at it from a first gen game I think it is very good. The career mode has you set up a player and give them DNA that I've never seen rivaled. Crazy facial features and detail that make it very real. You have a mental torturing coach to start out your career who runs you through training. You have 60 star points you can earn in training and then pick what attributes you want your player to excel in. That is a cool feature because after you play some matches you can see what you like and don't like to do for a game strategy. I still have around 40 star points to set up my attributes and having played some I like the baseline and power shots. I can buff that part of my game out. The Live mode looks good and if someone gets the game lets play. Doubles would be hilarious and serious competition I'm sure.
This is just a massive tennis game with tournament play around the world and very good graphic design with activity going on all around the courts. At $40 it is a good buy if you like tennis.
I forgot to mention you can change you coach at anytime and the training missions are pretty crazy. Like knocking huge beach balls into pins with the ball, while your coach is encouraging you.
You also sign an endorsement deal with a major label(Nike, Adidas..)that give you money to pay a coach and run training sessions. You can also simulate games if you don't want to play a tournament and you can switch endorsment deals anytime.
