Grand Slam Tennis 2

The game focuses on the major four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, US Open, and Wimbledon) with all the top players licensed for their name and likeness.

Compared to the cartoon-like look of the first title, this one has a much more realistic visual style.

It also includes the official courts and many known brands, including a tie-in to ESPN for broadcast integration.

Just like in the first game Pat Cash delivers the commentary and analysis is done by John McEnroe.

Next to famous contemporary players such as Djokovic, Federer, Henin, Murray, Nadal, Sharapova, Williams ... it includes historical players such as Becker, Borg, Evert, McEnroe and Navratilova.

Controls of shots is based on a control scheme dubbed Total Racquet Control.

It allows players to determine the accuracy, power and precision of shots using the right analogue stick, used for every shot from backhand to forehand, smashes, volleys and serves.

For instance just moving forward creates a flat shot, moving backwards adds spin, a quick flick forwards introduces top spin etc.

This system can be practiced under the guidance of McEnroe in the Academy.

Alternatively there is a separate control layout where different buttons are assigned for specific shots.

The PS3 version also has optional support for the Move peripheral.

The main career mode can last up to ten years where a new player can go through multiple seasons until the number one spot is reached.
