For the first time in a decade Andre Agassi will feature in an interactive entertainment experience for the current console generation. Top Spin 4 is planned for release on March 18, 2011 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and Wii system.
"It's great to be included in Top Spin 4 with such a unique line up of tennis players, past and present," said 23 year old Andy Murray, British No. 1 and World No. 5 player. "It's exciting that 2K Sports is giving gamers the chance to face off against different pros in realistic and detailed interactive matches."
In development at 2K Czech, Top Spin 4 brings the competitive action of tennis to life like never before with redesigned controls, jaw-dropping player models and enhanced TV-style presentation elements. Each of the title's top athletes and legendary pros will be equipped with 2K Sports' Signature Style animations, including player-specific swing styles and behavioral AI, custom celebrations and outfits.
"Top Spin 4 does a phenomenal job capturing the unique authenticity and highly competitive skills of these 25 world-class athletes," said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. "When playing Top Spin 4, we wanted consumers to feel they are playing more than a tennis game, we wanted them to feel like they are in a world title prize fight."
