Top Spin 4 Demo Review

After playing a few tiebreaks on the Top Spin 4 demo, I really enjoyed the game. I think 2k did a good job of capturing each players swing style, and the graphics look great. I also like the improved serving and the fact that this game moves faster than top spin 3, which in my opinion was too slow for a tennis game. There is one major thing that I feel 2k needs to improve with top spin regarding the player's footwork. Like a real tennis match, each player needs to split step as their opponent strikes the ball (a small jump to make an explosive movement toward the ball). Players in top spin have no split step and I feel it makes the footwork in the game look strange and not fluid. Other than the problem with footwork and split steps, 2k did a great job of improving from Top Spin 3 and I feel Top Spin 4 is hands down the best tennis game on XBOX360 and PS3. Let me know what you guys think!!

MLB 2k11 Demo Review

After playing a few games of the MLB 2k11 demo, I didn't find it to be all that impressive. Unfortunately, it seems 2k did not put much effort into improving this years game from the last. Graphics look the same, not saying they're horrible, just no improvement, the gameplay seems a bit slow and boring, and the game still has quite a few bugs. Also, the fact that there are no ejections, is going to be a problem for online play like it was in 2k10. If someone is losing, they're just going to hit batter repeatedly until you quit or they get bored and quit. I don't know why 2k didn't address this problem, but I guess it's something we'll just have to deal with. Overall the game just didn't leave much of an impression on me and doesn't seem worth it to buy the new version. Let me know what you guys think!!
