Your review was spot on! I already had virtua tennis 4 on Ps Vita before watching this review so I picked up Top spin 4 on PS3 with move and 3D support!
This video helped me decide and I bought Top Spin 4. I've enjoyed quite a bit so I can recommend it for anyone out there looking for a great tennis game with satisfying gameplay. Thanks for the upload!.
@andybruv good eye. Noticed it too a day or two after I posted the video, as it's supposed to say 'replay value.' I've made the change in post, but don't want to replace the original video since it's gotten a decent # of posts/comments. Apologies for the mistake and trust me, it bugs me every time I watch this video :(
Just looking at Top Spin brings back alot of the awesome nostalgia and memories I have for Davis Cup Tennis on the Turbo Grafx-16. But, with much better graphics, sound and gameplay, I havn't been so interested to play a tennis game since, and have a pretty good feeling that this entry into the series is probably going to put Top Spin back into the mainstream of must have video game titles to date. I'm not a big follower of the sport, but just looking at this game alone makes me want to.
When I first bought Top Spin 4, I wanted to return it. But after playing it more and starting my career mode, I enjoyed it. I should have waited a week later though because the price dropped from 60 to now 34.99
i recommend both top spin 4 and also virtua tennis 4 but only in max zoom camera mod,and that is something top spin 4 doesnt have,so you cant say what is best game here,when both are amazing and different
@andybruv uploaded a new version of this SGS episode with the "gameplay" text changed to "replay value." It's the video response posted on this page ;)
3 years to slow but that’s what the difficulty settings are for.Put it on ‘very difficult’ & you’ve got yourself a proper challenge on your hands!V’T’i 4 is still well worth playing in 2020,especially on local 2 player mode!Virtua Tennis games have been amazing & addictive since the 1st version on the Dreamcast!
I had never played any tennis game before but when i saw TS4 go for £17 new at tesco's i couldnt resist and i have been on my xbox for atleast 4 hours everyday hooked to the sublime gaming of which TS4 gives you.
I just Bought Virtua Tennis on DREAMCAST last night and is still a proud fan of VIRTUA TENNIS #SEGA forever, if it wasnt for Virtua Tennis i wouldnt have even gave TOPSPIN A TRY
VT4 isn't just realistic. all the shots are just unreal. u can't play creative with VT4's shots If you know what I mean, either it is extremly volly or extrem Djokovic style
I just bought TP3, and the controls are so freakin unforgiving. I was getting so frustrated that I quit playing it. I really want to play a tennis game. Is TP4 any easier? Should I just go for Virtua Tennis 4?
I really had trouble with TS4 at first, but once you master the timing, there's such a sense of accomplishment! Oh, and at that point, you can beat about 50% of online players.....there aren't enough opponents on PSN, though, IMO>..
I love the game, but the most obvious omission, to me, is announcing...I can't wait to see what they come up with for the next one....it should be practically real!
Virtua Tennis 4 is pretty good too. It's almost a tie for me. I find the system of powering up your shots for Top Spin 4 to be very annoying. You not only have to hold the button a certain amount of time, you also have to let it go just the right amount of time before hitting the ball. It's like rocket science just to play a game. But, it's still fun enough. It's probably more realistic, but Virtua Tennis is fun and some people online are really hard to beat at it. It's a tie to me!
I played the top spin 4 demo and quickly deleted it. I kinda blame that on playing so much virtua tennis for the last year. Going to buy top spin 4 soon as it looks far more realistic, especially with all the tennis on tv over the last month
I wanted to buy Top Spin 4 A month ago, when i came to the store I found out that I left my wallet at home, the price was 59 euro. The next day I got to the same store again and found it for 20 euro. I felt like the luckiest guy alive :D
I love Top Spin 4 the controls are solid and the game play is awesome I believe its the best sports game simulator out there rite now just simply cuz of those two things. I mean No disrespect to NBA 2K12 a great game by the way, but this has got to be the best 2K Sports Game since NFL 2K5, control and game play wise I mean. Just like NFL 2K5 this game plays and handles like a dream.
i used to prefer VT over TS. Now, SEGA can push the VT series down their throats, its not fun to play anymore, VT 1 2 3 was good, but the game hasnt changed since. Top Spin 4 is the best tennis game now.
Topspin 4 is way better than Virtuatennis in terms of gameplay but it still has problems with the controls. Virtuatennis was dumb cause people just dove halfway across the court to get to anything and also playing online with laggers was impossible. Topspin has a more in depth playing style and feels more like real tennis, but the movement is still off with you having to constantly press backwards to prevent your player from running blindly towards net after each shot.
the shots in VT4 are more powerful than TS4. TS4 kinda floats most of the shots. I like VT4s power shots more bec. thats how real tennis is played today.
@koda215 That is right, but you cant compare Soderling and Ferrer with Messi and Rooney.I mean Messi is the best when it comes to football and Rooney is right behind him, and you said it yourself Soderling and Ferrer are no.5 and no.6 . So not just that you cant compare them by their achievements, you can not compare them because they arent engaged in the same sport.But you are right both of the games need some improvement.
Top Spin has the better gameplay. But I can't believe that it got the nod for graphics and animations. The graphics looks very flat and has little detail. The character models almost look PS2-ish. The animation is damn choppy and is far from how the actual players serves or hit the ball.
Top Spin 4 > Grand Slam Tennis 2 > GTA V Tennis > Virtua Tennis 4
+PheboisPictures OOOOH low blow on the gta tennis but it is sweeter than VT4
haha gta 5 tennis well said
I only have Top Spin 3 on PS3. It kinda sucks.
even gta games can be a better tennis game lol
i`m a hugh tennis fan and i love the virtau tennis series since from the beginning
I finally found a channel that keeps video game reviews simple!

the only reason I like Virtua Tennis 4 more than Top Spin 4 or Grand Slam Tennis is that Virtua is available on PC

Virtua Tennis is for Child
Top Spin is for Men
I've played both games and VT is too easy
luxorITA play it on very hard, pussy
I have the game, even on very hard it is repetitive and super easy
3 years to slow but that’s what the difficulty settings are for.Put it on ‘very difficult’ & you’ve got yourself a proper challenge on your hands!V’T’i 4 is still well worth playing in 2020,especially on local 2 player mode!Virtua Tennis games have been amazing & addictive since the 1st version on the Dreamcast!
I love Virtua Tennis 4!!
Great review man, hit it on the dime with this one.
what about top spin 4 vs. grand slam tennis 2?
I had never played any tennis game before but when i saw TS4 go for £17 new at tesco's i couldnt resist and i have been on my xbox for atleast 4 hours everyday hooked to the sublime gaming of which TS4 gives you.
Did they not notic ethat they put "gameplay" twice?
my question is when you play tournaments do you play no name players or do you just play the pros over and over?
I just Bought Virtua Tennis on DREAMCAST last night and is still a proud fan of VIRTUA TENNIS #SEGA forever, if it wasnt for Virtua Tennis i wouldnt have even gave TOPSPIN A TRY
wow man, made my life...
nice one, subscribed...keep'em comin...
Good and clear review. Happy to have bought Top spin. (some crazy sale in my local video game store)
@zz zz idk bro, you still alive?
So, is Wimbledon not in either of these games?
Wow, lol. I just bought Virtua Tennis 4 for the Vita yesterday. Well, it looks like I'll be picking up Top Spin 4 as well.
VT4 isn't just realistic.
all the shots are just unreal. u can't play creative with VT4's shots
If you know what I mean, either it is extremly volly or extrem Djokovic style
Top spin 4 for sure !
Is there any release of TS4 for PC?
top spin 4 > all tennis game
Why no Grand Slam comparison?
perfect review. I love top spin 4, virtua tennis drove me crazy with its repetitive and unrealistic gameplay
Great video! I also play VT4
Pretty good review - i agree. Its so much fun even playing by yourself - TS4
2:25 is in top spin 4 or virtuatennis 4?
Thanks for that, just ordered Top spin.
Top spin wins
Virtua Tennis 4 is great, but it IS an arcade game.
I agree on the animations though. They are surprisingly limited.
Basically, you're just saying Top Spin is better because it's more of a simulation game… I don't, but I don't this comparison has been done right.
I just bought TP3, and the controls are so freakin unforgiving. I was getting so frustrated that I quit playing it. I really want to play a tennis game. Is TP4 any easier? Should I just go for Virtua Tennis 4?
I really had trouble with TS4 at first, but once you master the timing, there's such a sense of accomplishment! Oh, and at that point, you can beat about 50% of online players.....there aren't enough opponents on PSN, though, IMO>..

@SportsGamerShow Where are you buying that games, that is cheap :D In Croatia one game is 70euro :/ Is that from internet or?
I just wanna know the name of every game in your introduction. I always have loved it . Looks like the days of great gameplay....
Can you play online doubles with 4 people in Top Spin 4?
really?
Which one is better?🤔 Well which one has Serena Williams huh
No suprise.... 2K is more professional when it comes to gaming... Virtua Tennis is awesome but 2K is just a brand new level...
What about Grand Slam Tennis????
Virtua Tennis 4 is pretty good too. It's almost a tie for me. I find the system of powering up your shots for Top Spin 4 to be very annoying. You not only have to hold the button a certain amount of time, you also have to let it go just the right amount of time before hitting the ball. It's like rocket science just to play a game. But, it's still fun enough. It's probably more realistic, but Virtua Tennis is fun and some people online are really hard to beat at it. It's a tie to me!
Do you work for like 2k sports you?
Gst2 or vt4?
If you did, I salute you
5:25, is Didier Drogba a tennis player???
so i am confused . BUt i think top spin will made it
@MrYolo47 I've seen Top Spin 4 used for $17.99. Give it a few weeks and I'm sure Virtua Tennis 4 could be had used for even cheaper.
Top Spin 4 download link ?
Whats the song @2:33?
seeing Federer animated with a pinpoint stance kills me.
what is the game at 00:10 pls tell me thn
what the name of game of soccer of 0:03
Well, that escalated quickly.
I dont know what to choose
Nice Comparison!
Virtua tennis wins
if you play tennis, you don't play Virtua Tennis
VT4 wins! why? because it's on PC !
I played the top spin 4 demo and quickly deleted it. I kinda blame that on playing so much virtua tennis for the last year. Going to buy top spin 4 soon as it looks far more realistic, especially with all the tennis on tv over the last month
So this is the PES vs FIFA section, but in the tnnis community.. Well as I always went for PES, I also prefer Top spin.
I wanted to buy Top Spin 4 A month ago, when i came to the store I found out that I left my wallet at home, the price was 59 euro. The next day I got to the same store again and found it for 20 euro. I felt like the luckiest guy alive :D
Great video review, thanks. TS4 is so much better than VT4.
In gameplay, the best is Tennis Elbow 2013, with no doubt.
they should release ts on pc
1:17 is it just me that heard the guy say fabio nadal? O.o
Awesome really helpful! Ill get Top Spin 4!
I love Top Spin 4 the controls are solid and the game play is awesome I believe its the best sports game simulator out there rite now just simply cuz of those two things.

Just like NFL 2K5 this game plays and handles like a dream.
top spin is for the pros, and virtual tennis is for those who just wana have fun playing without going into the technicalities..
i used to prefer VT over TS. Now, SEGA can push the VT series down their throats, its not fun to play anymore, VT 1 2 3 was good, but the game hasnt changed since. Top Spin 4 is the best tennis game now.

look at 6:02, the ball doesn't even touch the raquet
Thanks helped me make my choice for my pass time
Unfortunately I only have pc so I have no choice but to play Virtua tennis 4.
Emulator viralchart.blogspot.com/2019/07/top-spin-4-ps3-game.html
I wish I had a console. Only got Virtua Tennis 4
@ronackostolomac no mate its the other way round
dude... vt4 is arcade.. cant compare these 2 imo
Top Spin is the best tennis simulator. Virtua Tennis is just a game arcade.
I love these games
Top Spin 4 gameplay is to slow for my liking, you can't change the speed of a rally what so ever
great video
the shots in VT4 are more powerful than TS4. TS4 kinda floats most of the shots. I like VT4s power shots more bec. thats how real tennis is played today.
grand slam has a lot more features, but the tennis gameplay is nothing like top spin 4.
To be honest, although it's fun, I have trouble seeing the skill involved in Tennis Games. Is it all about timing? I could never be sure.
ts4 may have had a larger roster but they left out alot of good players.....
@koda215 That is right, but you cant compare Soderling and Ferrer with Messi and Rooney.I mean Messi is the best when it comes to football and Rooney is right behind him, and you said it yourself Soderling and Ferrer are no.5 and no.6 .

Virtual tennis Arcade top spin Simulation
Never mind, I bought it. It's great.
TOP SPIN 4 FOR SURE
if you are a real life tennis fan you'll quickly get bored of virtua tennis 4
Virtua Tennis 4 is just a casual party game... same old story. No match for TS4.
*ahem* "Sharapova."
1:14
Oh shit
Top Spin has the better gameplay. But I can't believe that it got the nod for graphics and animations. The graphics looks very flat and has little detail. The character models almost look PS2-ish. The animation is damn choppy and is far from how the actual players serves or hit the ball.
@Boston Bruinsfan no its virtua its a weird name i mnow but is correct :)
