Gaming Union writes "Grand Slam Tennis is probably the most realistic tennis game so far, in terms of the atmosphere it creates. All of the four Grand Slams are represented faithfully, and the addition of so many great tennis players from down the years is a nice touch. However, the gameplay is a huge stumbling block for the game, and prevents it from being the definitive tennis experience."
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."

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.
man, that game was terrible with just one controller, I gotta try it with the right set up
While it is a bit more in-depth control wise than other games, I did get the distinct feeling that it was trying to be just a bit too ambitious.
It had a lot more potential.
