Jonathan Cullen, GOONL!NE: "How much of a difference would the game have made without WMP? A lot, but for the wrong reasons, and for that we would had to have taken a couple of points off the final score. However that doesn't need to be done as WMP and Grand Slam Tennis work well together in unison.
Without WMP, take two points off the overall score. However, we suggest getting the bundle as EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis shows that WiiMotionPlus works, and for the better as far as we're concerned. This is what the Wii should be like from now on."
Andy Robertson writes "Grand Slam Tennis 2 brings tennis to PlayStation Move but ends up being jack of all controllers and master of none. Great fun for families but for grownups more promise of things to come than a fully fleshed out motion experience. I suspect Grand Slam Tennis on Wii U will be the de facto version."
Join us for the live EA Sports presentation from 11am AEDT Friday the 19th.
The biggest test for this approach is how well the more hardcore audience on the PlayStation 3 (and Xbox 360) will take to Grand Slam Tennis 2. It maybe that motion controls are less important here. Perhaps testament to this is the inclusion of some (also quite interesting) Skate style “flick-it” racket controls where the right stick is used to control your swing.
After playing on the Wii, I'll never play a tennis game with sticks again. That is OLD! Has to be motion controlled for moi.
The last sentence should have read: "This is what the Wii should have been like from the start."
