Grand Slam Tennis 2 Review (360/PS3)



Tennis, despite its limited popularity in America, is one of the only sports gaming genres where gamers have several choices available. The Top Spin series has been the standard in tennis gaming, but Virtua Tennis also has its share of fans. Now, EA has entered the fray on all three major consoles with Grand Slam Tennis 2.

A fair review,

EA has the potential here to make a deep and engaging Tennis experience, but like with Madden, its still mostly a pretty paint job without the raw horse power

Hopefully this series doesn't go the way of NCAA Basketball 10 and they put more emphasis on making this series a Tennis Sim

They'll be lucky if even a small audience of people buys this game. So even if it DOES come out again as Grand Slam 3, it won't likely get much more sim than this. They'll probably charge us another 50 bucks next year and do something dumb like remove Nadal.

I don't know why you are not seeing the cpu serve any faults. Try playing on superstar, i have seen multiple let serves, serves into the net and i even won a crucial game when the cpu (Serena Williams) served a double fault!!

Good fair review but could someone please explain to me the pros and cons of hitting the ball deep?

It's great that you're seeing faults. It's my opinion, though, that faults shouldn't only happen on Superstar difficulty. Plus, given the way difficulty progresses in career mode, faults only showing up on Superstar difficulty means that you'll be several years into your career before the CPU starts missing serves.

What console are you playing on and what control method are you using?
