Introduction Tennis is a great sport that requires holistic Grand Slam Tennis 2 (EA Sports, PS3, XBOX 360)These mini-games are the same as the challenge games that youll play during the Grand Slam tournament challenge rounds, and can be played by 2, 3, or 4 players.Grand Slam tennis tournaments run throughout the year from mid-January through to September and consist of four tournaments that take place around the world. They feature the world’s best tennis players and with the court surface varying between the majority of the tournaments, some players are more suited to some than others.IF YOU’RE still recovering from watching the recent Australian Open marathon final, you might want to put yourself through a spot more endurance training before taking on the tennis talents of Grand Slam Tennis 2.Nate McDonald here, I’m one of the producers working on EA SPORTS Grand Slam® Tennis 2.
They're obviously made of tougher stuff than the programming.In terms of presentation GST2 carries EA's usual sheen of quality but does not impress as much as other EA titles. It just allows your opponent to smash the ball into the hoardings or into the line judges who regularly fail to flinch, even with a ball about to smash them in the face. The formulaic nature soon becomes jarring and what's more, a passing shot or lob rarely works against this net play. Every AI opponent, whether they be a defensive baseliner like Nadal or a serve-volleyer like Edberg, rushes to the net after just a few shots from the back of the court. The top-ranked Serb beat Richard Gasquet 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.
This means the likes of Murray and Djokovic hit two-handed backhand slices, which looks odder than Nadal rearranging his water bottles. It's a pity some of these are not extended to every player (I'm yet to see a game that recreates Becker's back bending serve) and the animations for a slice are no different to a flat or top spin shot. Crowds sound flat and the epic rallies do not generate Top Spin 4's crowd histrionics.As to be expected from EA, there are some nice little touches, like Nadal indulging in some crotch fiddling between points or Federer anxiously twiddling his racket when receiving a serve.
