Serving up tennis

For all the tennis lovers out there, “Top Spin 4” makes its return to the court packed with more features and a roster of the top pros and legends of the game. “Top Spin 4” makes huge strides over its predecessor by making the gameplay more accessible to all skill levels while still retaining the intricate control options for those gamers who want to master every shot. This is done with a three-tier system of controls: the simplest being press a button to make a normal shot; followed by holding a button to charge a power shot, and quickly tapping the button for a more accurate skill shot; the hardest control level uses the analog sticks and offers a huge range of control over serves.
