The ball physics and pace of the game seem accurate, but, once again, not much was really broken with the Top Spin system, as the momentum of the player was taken into account for many shots and situations for that title and it seems to have carried over, here.

this game would have been awesome if you could ever get it to play right on your pc, disc 2 is flawed, the first thing i had to do was download a patch for it which proves the game doesnt play right.
This game is great for a variety of reasons, it's easy to learn, hard to master, completly modifiable (it's completly coded in easially accessable XML, and it's pretty simple to figure out how to edit things), and it's fun.
One feature I really like about the game is that there is a little background information about everything in the game, all the technologies (and there's probabally around 100 technologies) civilizations, leaders, units, civics (BTW, there's over 3,000 different combinations for a government) and several other things.
