Microsoft Game Studios today announced its first tennis title for the Xbox™ video game system is in development.  Developed by Power and Magic Developments, “Top Spin,” an Xbox exclusive and Xbox Live™ enabled tennis experience, will offer gamers and tennis fans a pulse-pounding glimpse into professional tennis. 

Although “Top Spin” will feature 16 tennis superstars, gamers can create their own tennis personalities and characters to achieve superstardom.  Will you slam your racket to the ground?  Argue a bad call?  “Top Spin” challenges each player to master all the shots including slices, lobs, drops and spins while playing on various surfaces including clay, hard court and grass.

Xbox Live enabled, “Top Spin” is truly a global tennis experience.  Play against the best and climb the worldwide ladders to achieve the much-coveted No. 1 online ranking.  Along the way, “Top Spin” encourages you to take risks to beat your opponent.  Just like on the real courts, players are searching for “the Zone”, where every forehand, backhand and overhead slam overpowers the individual on the other side of the net.
