First screens and details of Grand Slam Tennis (EA Sports) for the Wii via Nintendo Power.
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.
I saw that first pic I was like "this game is coming to the DS?" I mean really it looks unflaterring..But then I clicked the link and I can see the visual style they are going for is sort of like shaun white, if Gameplay takes it to the next level I'd be interested..if not, hopefully Sega can come through.
I am ok with the style choice for characters and everything. However, the grass looks horrible, as in all EA Sports games -- it is better in Tiger Woods, but not really great. They could, at least, copy what Nintendo did for Wii Sports, in which the grass looks pretty good.
