The upcoming release of Top Spin 3 on next-gen consoles and the Wii brings plenty to the various consoles. Both games feature the same base roster of 16 real life players and three legends: Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker and Monica Seles. You can play for all the major titles except for Wimbledon. 2K still included a grass court (set in Dublin) but the Brits wanted too much dough for the official license.

Besides getting snazzier graphics, Xbox 360 and PS3 owners get to customize players right down to picking everything from Wild Eyes-style contact lenses to your little pro’s in-game grunt. Wii aficionados get to flail wildly with their Wiimotes while in the first tennis game for their system to feature players with legs and arms. Check out our full preview with 2K Sports product manager Ryan Hunt after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
