The Daisy Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 This will be my excuse to finally get Links 2004, if it comes to be. This quote is straight from Happy Puppy. (It could not be linked, so I'm posting a part of their post) The following first-party sports titles from Microsoft for the Xbox will be hitting the discount rack on February 25th. # Top Spin # NFL Fever 2004 # Links 2004 # NBA Inside Drive 2004 # Amped 2 # NHL Rivals 2004 Good news. I'll probably pickup Amped and Links at those prices. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'll be Amp-ed then too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I have some interest in Top Spin because of its stellar reviews. I am NOT a tennis enthusiast(except for Anna Kournikova). Is this game good enough to make someone who doesnt follow tennis want to play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Top Spin is an incredible game. However, it's not really popular around these parts. I've only played a couple of LCVGers online (and kicked their asses! Yeah, you heard me), but I'm always up for a match. However, the game has a few flaws. Looooong load times, getting automatically kicked to the lobby with no quick rematch option, between point animations, the trapped-in-molasses feel of the women's game (though you do get to stare at AK's ass). It's simple to play with a single button shot, but deep enough you can use all the other shots as you progress in skill. I heartily recommend it, especially at that price. I'll probably pick up Amped 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Another recommendation for Top Spin. Play it quite a bit offline and I've played several games online with Scott and a few others. Would love to play more folks online. As far as the news...Links here I come.

Whooter Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 As someone who "Top Spin" just never really clicked with, I guess I better think about getting it traded in while it still has maximum value, then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hmmm. Microsoft have already been pushing these titles for a "buy two, get a third free" deal, which effectively drops the price to $33 each already (as long as you're willing to buy 3 ). Interesting.

danger9777 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'm interested in getting Top Spin as well since I loved Virtua Tennis so much on the DC. I think I'll wait for the price to get a little lower on it though. I'm a cheapskate and figure that the game will go down to $20 soon enough....that's when I'll nab it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hey, if you guys are interested in Top Spin, let me know some of the titles you have and I'll trade you mine. I just didn't click with it like I hoped I would. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeldeal Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I had a lot of fun with TopSpin playing against friends (on the same box). I'm really happy about that price drop because i've been looking for links and haven't found a decent price on ebay yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I picked up Top Spin, Links and Amped 2 and I'm loving all 3 right now. I bought them under the buy 2 get 1 free deal but alas this deal doesn't fall within the 30 days for a price match so if this turns out to be true, then so be it. This is the best $83 I've spent. Top Spin is a blast except for the cut scenes and the other 2 are w/o flaws to me. At $29.99 they are a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crippler Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 the hardcore basketball crowd believe that ID 2004 is the best hoops game out, so I'd defenitely try it for $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
