Bruce Carlson(Finally a Tennis game that really uses the Move controller,)\
I bought EA Grand Slam Tennis 2 to play with the PlayStation's Move Controller, and I'm happy to report this is finally a tennis sports game that gets the use of the Move Controller right. We like motion gaming, active and as realistic as possible, and we're really enjoying playing this game. We stand in the living room, waving our glowing Move controllers and jumping about, having a great time.

in EA's Grand Slam tennis 2, you use the PS3 Move Controller very much as you would a real tennis racket. How you swing the Move Controller determines the direction of your shot, the spin on the ball (flat, topspin, slice), and the power of the shot. Swing low to high, get a topspin; High to low, get a slice. Angle your body (and thus the swing) to the left, get a cross-court shot. Prepare the backswing early, get more power. The direction of your serve is likewise based on how you swing the Move controller. It is reminiscent of the paddle control in Sports Champions' Table Tennis play, but on a grander scale. (Lobs and drop shots use the Move and T buttons on the Move controller, with direction and spin still set by the swing of the Move controller.)

We also use the Navigation Controller for controlling the location of our player avatars movement on the court. I haven't had a reason to use that in a very long time (Heavy Rain, I think); there aren't many games that support it. If you don't have a Navigation Controller, you can still use the joystick on the traditional PlayStation Dual Shock controller, or you can let the game handle the movement of your avatar. Left, right, playing the angles, taking the net, are all more interesting by controlling the player directly.

We have previously purchased Topspin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4. Whatever those games merits, their support for the Move Controller were extremely disappointing (absolutely worthless Move support, mere add-on gimmickry rather than real gameplay.) As someone who really enjoys motion gaming (Sports Champions is still one of our favorite games), I am really happy that finally there was a PS3 tennis game we could really enjoy.

We have previously been playing the Wii's original EA Grand Slam Tennis. For those familiar with that, this is a huge upgrade in graphics, yet the actual motion gameplay is very similar, and so, it was easy for us to pick up. Unlike the Wii remote motion controller, the PlayStation Move controller doesn't need to be "recalibrated" every few points, and you don't have to suffer the annoyance of the cord running between the motion controller and the Nunchuck.

In addition to the gameplay, you can organize matches in several ways: play singles or doubles against an opponent in your own living room. Play against an opponent on the Internet (EA Sports Pass required, code included with the game). You can also play against the AI in singles or doubles, or in a "party" mode that includes various unorthodox match styles such as Australian doubles (3some), lob and volley contests, etc.

For solo play, there is also "career mode" where you can invent your own player avatar and guide him (or her) through ten years of tournament play, slowly improving their abilities (speed, power, accuracy, net play, endurance) in the hopes of winning the Grand Slam. (In this mode, the game will "help" your play a little according to what abilities you've earned.)

For those interested in the visuals, Grand Slam Tennis 2 has two dozen current and past champion players (who play with the tennis style of those players), or you can design your own player avatar if you prefer. The venues include all four Grand Slam tennis events (Australian, French, Wimbledon, and US Open) as well as for new tournament locations in Dubai, Geneva, Shanghai, and Brighton.

Pat Cash and John McEnroe provide the audio commentary for matches. After a few dozen hours, once you've memorized all the chatter, you can turn the volume down.

For me, it's all about the Motion Controller Gameplay, waving my arms around and cursing my footwork; and I really enjoy this game. We've played Sports Champions as well as the Wii version of Grand Slam Tennis for years, and I expect to go on enjoying this new version for the PS3 Move many more years.

Abhishek Roy (Has the potential for being the Best Tennis Game till date,)
Firstly, many people would complain about the Total Racket Control instead of the conventional use of buttons in the game for the shots. However, personally just like Fifa 12 and few other sports games, I absolutely love total control over the game play which in turn makes the gameplay more challenging and realistic. However, thats just my personal opinion. I have broken up my experience with the game in the sections listed below.

Gameplay
---------
Challenging, and based on a new, complex control system, but ultimately very rewarding, and actually empowering once mastered.

Graphics
---------
Excellent. From just far enough away, it's almost convincing as a real televised game. Great player likenesses and animations for the most part too.

Sound
------
Poor. The commentary is a massive flaw, with repetition and without the kind of personality to hide the problems. I loved the music though.

Players
-------
This is where I got really pissed with EA. Too few players to play with specially on the ladies side. Why don't we have Steffi Graff, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Ivan Lendl, Kim Clijsters,Del Potro, Safin,Ivanisevic, Agassi etc. I hope EA provides official downloadable player packs (and not charge us for the same) to upgrade the current roster although all these players are available for download as user created players.

Career Mode
-----------
Just like any other tennis games, the career mode is weak. You get 10 years to rise from the ashes and win it all.

Game Modes
--------------
Mastering the control system requires hours, while getting to an impressive level requires even more effort. The training ground is where John Mcnroe will make you work like a horse to get your shots right. Its challenging but is really helpful in getting initial grips on the new control system. As of the game modes, apart from the normal single match, tournament and career modes, with the new Grand slam classics mode(Where you can try to rewrite history ), you may be playing this until well after Wimbledon.

Presentation
-------------
It's EA Sports, so everything is typically slick and consummately professional. Bravo.

Overall
---------
All-in-all a very fine opening set for the newest tennis franchise on the court, just lacking that little spark of charm to make it truly great. Potential to win, like Andy Murray, but also a couple of glaring shortfalls, also like Andy Murray.
Hopefully EA will provide few updates and more downloadable content to make this much more fun.

Also, just like the Fifa series, I believe the game will evolve to be the real tennis game in the future.

I have not played Top Spin 4. So cant compare the game with it. However I have played Virtua tennis and surely this is way better than that.

And lastly I am always a big fan of EA's graphics and game play. Hence in spite of the flaws/shortcomings that I have mentioned, giving it a 5 out of 5.

Dan the Review Guy (It's Good... Fun)
It looks very nice, the graphics are amazing! The gameplay is a little too fast, but it is fun anyway.... It's more of an arcade game than a "sim" game. Quite the hating. It is a little short- lived though. You can win all four grand slams in one "year" and there are ten in Career mode. ':^/
*****
Graphics: 5/5
Animations: 3/5 (Seriously? Nadal one-handed backhand?!)
Venues: 4/5 (Wimbledon :) )
Commentary: 3.5/5 (A little repetative)
Online/ Creation: 4.5/5
Fun: 5/5
*****
Overall: 4.8/5 stars
