This past Thursday at an EA Sports even in San Francisco, 411mania had a chance to get a first look at plenty of upcoming titles and one of those was the recently announced Grand Slam Tennis for the Nintendo Wii. They can admit that even with other tennis titles on the market, they still enjoy the one in Wii Sports the best for its ease of use and more importantly for its responsiveness. EA is aiming to go that same route with GST and so far, so good.
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.
Im going to wait and see how virtua tennis is gonna be.
Then i'll decide my Tennis purchase.
