When it comes to authenticity x sports video games, no one's been seeing <strong>2K Sports</strong> lately. They're are about to drop <em>NBA 2K11</em>, which we recently put you on game about, and sometime next year they'll be bringing us <strong><em>Top Spin 4</em></strong>. We spent some time playing the latest iteration of the <em>Top Spin</em> franchise last week, and we’re pleased to say it features everything from more venues and improved graphics to vintage <strong>Andre Agassi</strong> rockin’ the classic mullet? Yes! So, in anticipation of the upcoming release, check out five things you need to know about <em>Top Spin 4</em>...

SHOT SELECTION
Complex says: The new three-tiered power meter combined with shot variety (flat spin, top spin, lob, and slice) allows for virtually any type of shot to be executed. Everything including Roger Federer
SIGNATURE STYLES
Complex says: From the nervous twitches and fidgeting with racquets to differences in shot execution, reflecting various players' signature styles is one of Top Spin 4's true talents.

Complex says: The folks at 2K Sports already took it back with vintage Michael Jordan in NBA 2K11, and they're keeping the vintage theme going by bringing back Andre Agassi in Top Spin 4. Just as MJ had the kicks to make him rise to the next level, Agassi had his glorious mullet—which was actually a weave. But that's neither here nor there, since you get to play as the Brook Shields-boning and meth-taking vintage Andre Agassi that we all came to love. This feature is only available for those who pre-order Top Spin 4 at a GameStop in North America.
