Top Spin 2 on the GBA is one of those rare sports games that actually feels like the real thing—just scaled down perfectly for a handheld. You’ve got all the big shots—topspin, slices, lobs—and they actually matter, not just for show. The controls are tight, and after a few matches, you start nailing those cross-court winners like you’ve been playing for years.

It’s got that classic career mode where you grind through tournaments, upgrading your gear and stats. I remember getting wrecked by the AI at first, but once you figure out the timing, every rally feels intense. The animations are smooth for a GBA game, and the ball physics? Surprisingly good. If you’re into tennis, this one’s a no-brainer.
