We’re a bunch of contrary bastards. For all the flak we give sports sequels, which rarely amount to more than thoughtless rehashes, the truth is that the meat of such a game is the sport itself. It can have a feature list the length of Peter Crouch - the tallest soccer player at 6’7” - but we’ll still tear it apart if it doesn’t play a decent game of football/baseball/Frisbee. Top Spin 2’s absolutely packed with options and ideas, but is the tennis good? Kinda.
