Grand Slam Tennis 2 has a few small features and touches that make the game great. It’s the nailing of the nature and the atmosphere of tennis that truly means EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis 2 captures the life of tennis faultlessly. It is this uncertainly of positioning coupled with the unpredictability of the opponents next shot that keeps the gameplay interesting: much like the real game. Which direction to go is a massive part of tennis, as being out of position will see you easily dropping points. The game manages to capture the life of tennis with the unpredictable shots from opponents making the game flow naturally and keeping the player on their toes. The second controller based scheme uses the usual controller face buttons to hit the ball and is simple and easy to pick up yet it doesn’t offer as much precision. Alas it does take time to master the analogue control. But given enough time, players are able to pull off shots with better precision.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 offers two standard controller control schemes, on top of that it also offers a PlayStation Move control scheme on top of this. It’s this slight variation which makes the game enjoyable in both modes and feel like a separate experience whilst not varying excessively. The gameplay does vary slightly between doubles and singles like in the real game, the pace of the game is faster and the positions the player must take are much more limited to successfully win points. The gameplay is kept simple and effectively handles slow paced and fast passed rallies between players. Nothing in the game majorly tries to break the mould instead EA has clearly focused on making the basic game of tennis smooth and enjoyable. Both single and double matches and the training modes are on offer here. The gameplay doesn’t stray too far from the standard tennis title experience. This means when there is a close-up camera angle of a winning shot and the crowd is visible, the crowd doesn’t detract from the atmosphere like in other titles. The crowd doesn’t look amazing but it does seem a lot better than the cardboard cut-out like crowd seen in FIFA 12. While it sounds like a small attribute of the overall games presentation the crowd has often fallen short in other EA sports titles. All in all, it adds to the realism that makes it like you’re watching a real-life match. The conversations between the commentary team seemed to flow throughout a match, yet they also manage to react to impressive shots including drop shots, lob shots and crosscourt volleys. This carries over into the create-a-player section resulting in even created characters looking and acting like real tennis professionals.Īpart from a few hiccups, overall the commentary makes every game, set and match sound like the real thing. All the players look impressively like their real-life counterparts as well as having unique animations for each separate player. While the graphics won’t be winning any awards, the graphical presentation is decent enough to make the title look respectable. Let’s find out and kick of the HOTs and NOTs. However will this sequel be able to smash above its other tennis rivals? The title also allows players to use the PlayStation Move. The game brings in analogue stick controls seen in other EA Sports’ titles under the moniker of “total racket control” to rival the control system in Top Spin 4. “We are very excited to bring the EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis franchise to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms and leverage the graphical power of these high definition consoles, ” line producer Thomas Singleton stated.EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis 2 is the brand new tennis simulation sports title from EA Canada.
