1)

Nov 7th, I think.

2)

It's no hassle at all to sign up, but you must first have linked a .NET Passport to your Gamertag at the new XBox website at www.xbox.com (as you use the Tag-linked Passport to sign into XSN)

IGN's Top Spin review:

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/456/456...html?fromint=1

Full of Virtua Tennis comparisons as it seemed to parallel that game when we saw it at the BxB LAN.

i'm quite happy to pay £37.99 from my local indie and get the game on the Wed/Thu before its release. :)

I know some of you have now got this game (Lucky devils!) Anychance of letting me know how the game plays on and off line? Is it as good as the reviews say it is?

Cheers. ;)

I picked this up from PC World at the weekend (Dixons Stores Group appear to have slipped it out a week early, as they tend to do with Microsoft published titles).

I can honestly say its the greatest tennis game ever created. I've played both singles and doubles matches online, and there has been no lag what-so-ever. Even voice chat is more responsive that most titles, although its the first thing to suffer if the connection does fluctuate (which is as it should be IMHO).

Rush out and buy this on Friday!

i've checked a few, its only certain stores that are sneaking them out, it was the same with MM3... not all stores in the chain broke the rules...

i could get mine tomorrow from CA games, but I'll just leave it till thu and pick it up along with RS3 and Toca Live.

I do prefer Top Spin over any tennis game ive played before. I just love the way the game handles and plays its so easy to get into but yet feels so real :) Its not just me who has said its as good as or better than virtua tennis many reviews have said that aswell as many other people! :)

Yes Diego's goal was a blinder but his second attempt would have been even better bar the crossbar being in the wrong place. :D

So can two play doubles online on one xbox against two others?

Also can you go online with the proper players as well as with your custom one?

Thanks

You need two people on one xbox as morris has said!

Secondly; yes it is possible to go online with the proper players aswell as your own player! :)

Just played for an hour, personally I thought Virtua Tennis was a much better game, very dissapointed with Top Spins look expected much more.

A few hours later and its brill, but still thought it would look better.

Played Top Spin yesterday for a few hours - my thumb is now developing a rather large blister. The games go on forever.

Great game though! :p

Just got it and *really* enjoying it - Shame you can't save midway through a tourny though......

If anyone fancies a game - even though I've never played online yet, then my gamertag's Chambece.....

And if you do go up for an xsn tourny, count me in - at least you'll have someone to come last then!

Re: Top spin
 
Apparently XSN is starting up properly on november 15th, which could be true for the mark of the start of the third year for xbox! :D

We will deinfelty have to have a NTHW tournie, but at this rate i am gonna be in laods of tournies! :D

Got my 14 stars so go online & lose 3 matches 3-0, 3-0. A couple of the games were a bit jerky and one stopped for a second mid game a few times...thats my excuse anyway!

Offline I'd perfected the old right trigger, then online its slower and I was all over the place.

HornetUK 15-11-2003 11:00

Re: Top spin
 
Can't believe you cant see ranking of people you are about to play online, very annoying to get done 3-0, then find out they are ranked 10 out of 8000. The optimatch is crap why have way above/way below as a choice & how far does around do around you?
