More On: Top Spin 4
All sports games deserve a franchise, even tennis. 2K Sports announced Top Spin 4 today and the opportunity to play exclusively as Andre Agassi, only if you pre-order from GameStop. There doesn’t seem to be too many details on the features other than vague descriptions such as “a bold new take on the sport of tennis”, “experience first-hand an uncanny level of realism in the player and stadium models”,” authentic audio captured directly from real tennis matches” and “new innovative controls to dominate the competition.” So yeah, we should get more details on that later I guess. Anyways, let’s focus on Agassi and his flowing locks. Yes, the Andre you get at GameStop will be Vintage, which should be Andre AND his hair will be in the game. For full details on the Agassi pre-order, check the info after the jump. Otherwise, take a look below:
