Controls aside, this is a very addictive and fun little game, the graphics are well presented, and it does have a great air of fun about it. The controls are annoying, but after a while you can sort of work out what you are doing and adapt, but it would really have been nice to have a more intuitive system.
Give it a go, if you like Wii Sports Tennis, then you will probably like this and it is a good way to get hold of a Wii Motion Plus unit!
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.
