Top Spin 2 XBox Review - ContactMusic.com

Top Spin was available on the PS2 but only as a nasty port. Top Spin 2 offers everything that was available in the original Top Spin but the game-play, graphics and sound are all much better than before.

On the Xbox 360 controller the four coloured buttons correspond with the four basic shots; Swing, Slice, Lob and Topspin. Beyond these four shots there are another eight shot types available in conjunction with your momentum meter. The Momentum meter level ebbs and flows as points are won and lost in each game, the better you play the more momentum you gain. With a decent amount of momentum behind you your player can perform much better shots – your player can either play a risk shot or an advanced shot and the quality of these shots is gauged via your momentum meter. To use an advanced or risk shot you need to hold down the left or right shoulder button, respectively, before playing the shot.
