Fans of the original Top Spin, which was released on PC, PS2 and Xbox will be delighted to know that a new version has made its way onto the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and DS. Everything that made Top Spin such a great game is back and available to play wherever you want. . All the Grand Slam events (Australia, U.S.A., French and Wimbledon) are available, as well as loads of other smaller tournaments for you to perfect your back-hand in. There are a whole host of top players (24 to be precise) available to choose, team up with or do battle against, such as Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova to name but a few. The story mode is the Grand Slam mode. You are in control of your selected player from the beginning of his or her career, starting with training camps and junior championships to fully-fledged events. Eventually, you will guide them through all four Grand Slam tournaments. You are able to select the style of tennis you want your character to play. As well as all the normal shots available to your player (lobs, slices and back-hands etc.) there is also the option of risk shots and advanced controls. The latter gives you the opportunity to beat your opponent shot by shot.
