Grand Slam Tennis has been talked about ever since Nintendo showed off the Wii MotionPlus attachment. It seemed like such a big deal that the first games that would use MotionPlus weren't even Nintendo's games, but then again maybe there is a reason that this game is coming so soon. Unfortunately, that reason may be simply to cash in on Wii owners who are not wanting to wait for Wii Sports Resort to get their first MotionPlus 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.
