Anyone else try the Top Spin PC demo? I think it's hella fun!

:eek: Crap. I've been waiting so badly for this game to come out on PC. Thanks for the link. Here is a link from filemirrors if you aren't a gamespot member... http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?type=begins&file=topspindemo.zip&action=Find

Played a few games and it seems like a decent port. They have to fix the way serve and volleyers play cuz they're a few feet inside the baseline when they rally.

I think it's best played with a gamepad. Yeah they have some work to do as well. I hope they don't just port and forget about it.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't even know it was coming out for PC. Hard to imagine a tennis game could be too fun, but i guess i'll see :p. I did enjoy Mario Tennis on the N64 and virtual boy (yeah i had one...=/)

[Kamakazie]

I havent played the demo yet, but I cant see this game being at all playable with the keyboard.

[ishak540m]

I hope it's a lot more difficult in the actual game. It's pretty easy now.

[Adaman]

Yeah, they must of made put it on Easy mode for the demo. Seems much too easy even for a beginner. I played it against my Bro though, and it's pretty fun, looks pretty good as well. I use a PS2 controller, and it works great, though it pretty much works great with everything.

When's the actual game coming out?

You may have your settings too high.

[Adaman]

Sometimes the ball will look like it's in slow motion matrix style if you do a certain shot, maybe that's what he's referring to.

What's that ITZ bar all about?

[Kamakazie]

You know, I own the game and I dont know whats up with the ITZ bar, but I do know that me and a friend of mine often boast when our ITZ bar is higher.

"I HAVE MORE ITZ THAN YOU!!" *evil laughter*

But upon checking GameFAQs, it stands for "In the Zone", and makes it easier to perform Risk Shots.

It's pretty cool that real players are in the game...including Kournikova.;)

Yeah but the bad part is that she's actually really good at tennis in this game. It's just so far from the truth. T&A, YES. Tennis player, no.

*Hey :confused: - The trailer says "Now available on PC" - such a tease.

Haha...touche!:D

Man, I suck at serving and the game in general. I have to practice.:)

Yeah, I noticed that about the trailer too. It isn't even out yet. (no reviews)

LOL, I think it's set to beginner too, lol. JK. No really though, :D .

[soupnazi]

I switched from keyboard to gamepad and Sampras to Kuertin...now I'm dominating.:D

Man...Sampras is so slow and sucks in this game.

Yeah. A gamepad truly does dominate. Like I said though, it's probably set to an easy difficulty level.

I just figured it out. It means, "In The Zone." It's easier to take risk shots when it's full or close to full. I can't wait for this game to come out on the PC.

Is it similar to VirtuaTennis? (I still have it installed on both my computers!)

Surpasses Virtua Tennis in my opinion.
