Top Spin 2 on the GBA is one of those rare sports games that actually nails the feel of the real thing. You’ve got a surprising amount of control over your shots—slice, topspin, lobs—and the timing actually matters, which keeps matches tense. The career mode’s got this addictive loop where you train between tournaments, and the better you do, the more sponsors throw gear at you.

Graphics are solid for the GBA, with smooth animations that make rallies look legit. The AI isn’t just swinging randomly either—opponents have playstyles, so you’ll adjust your strategy match to match. It’s not just about power; placement and stamina management matter way more than you’d expect from a handheld tennis game.

Still holds up as one of the best tennis sims you can play on the go.
