The Review Thread.

[Jason Fernandes]

I thought it would be a good idea to keep all the review scores in one thread as they should be coming out soon.

So Far:

OPM UK: 7/10
Jeux Video Magazine: 18/20
Washington Examiner: 3/5
LazyGamer: 8.5/10
Now Gamer: 6/10
NY Post: B+
GamersNet: 8.5/10
Juexactu: 19/20
JVN: 17/20
Gameblog: 10/10
Multiplayer: 9/10
Meristation: 8.5/10

What's your guess for the overall review score at metacritic? My guess is 8,2 after two weeks.

I strongly disagree with you, I'd say an 8,3.

[djarvik]

8.47 at least.

[ati4850]

Top Spin 3 got what..75ish? If the critics are tennis fans they should give TS4 at least 85, and that's just based on the demo.
I'm expecting a high score next week.

[KluddKalle]

TS3 got 78.

I'll stick to my 82/8,2 but hope for a much higher. But you never know with reviewers, we all found TS3 to be brilliant but they just gave 78 as an average.

I too because I expect high earned Rates.

If they truly explore the Game and don't test it just superficial they will have a great Time an that ends in great Scores. That you can already say with the Informations we have now.

TS4 will score very well, largely because the simple controls will allow know-nothing-about-tennis game reviewers to compete in a rally longer than three strokes.

For example, this reviewer really seems to like the game:

Haha he represents the average Videogametennisnoob.

It will attract alot of Guys and what's good for 2K is good for us if you think on the Feature and a possible Top Spin 5.

Everybody from us should hope for a good commercial success.

I'm thinking it would be a great idea if somebody put together a video tutorial series for Top Spin 4 like SeaNanners did for Minecraft, or more strategy based like Day9 does for Starcraft II.

Probably not as in depth as either of these, but something people will search for an watch several of.

So if somebody who has some skill in explaining things to people and with the tools to do it could put something like this together, and reference ITST whenever possible, it would be great for both the game and the tour

First review I've seen is from the OPM which gave TS4 a 7/10

Here's the review that was nicely scanned from James91 on the Official EU PS Forums



Sorry but after reading that I can't really take it seriously, but then not like I didn't expect it, most of the UK knows shit about tennis.

Very short review, didn`t seem like they actually played the game for more than an hour or so.
