If you do have had a really good match and you both decide you would like to play again, you can rematch straight away. However, for every time you get annihilated there will be a time that you do the same thing to someone else. Everyone’s skill level is different and it is very easy to be discouraged if you get wiped off the court. GST2‘s arcade style of play means that there is less opportunity for cheap (some say cheating) tactics to get points, (those who have played online Top Spin 4 will be familiar with the annoying no pace serve out wide) making the games more competitive.
Head to head play on Xbox Live is, for the most part, quite fun. I for one am very appreciative that the effort has been made. From the uniforms of the ball kids and the lines umpires, or even the fact that all players must wear white at Wimbledon, this game has paid attention to detail. So much effort has gone into making each slam as true to life as possible. When creating a player, the standard facial alterations are simple enough to follow this is great, considering how other games seem to make this process either non-existent or over complicated. This is a particularly good feature considering each grand slam has 7 rounds that you have to slog through. While not as realistic as say Top Spin 4, this arcade style of play is still enjoyable and is probably better for those who don’t play tennis in real life or in many video games.Ī major difference in Grand Slam Tennis 2’s career mode over other games on the market is that you can select the length of each match. The actual gameplay itself was more arcadey than other recent tennis releases. It just felt annoying, and I found myself reverting back to the standard button controls pretty quickly. I felt like it made the game a lot harder to play, but not in a challenging way. As I eluded to in my initial impressions piece, the “total racket control” joystick technique was not as impressive it was intended to be. There are also quick tutorial lessons that will help you with the overall game play.
So now that I can say I’ve actually played and won all four grand slams in a tennis video game career mode, does that add enough appeal to place the title as the top tennis simulator?įor those who are new to tennis games, the commentary from Pat Cash and John McEnroe - although very repetitious - is quite interesting and useful to develop an idea of what tactics to use.
#GRAND SLAM TENNIS 2 PC PORT FULL#
I never really thought much about it when playing other tennis games, but not being able to play through Wimbledon means you’re not getting the full experience of the sport. What Grand Slam Tennis 2 brings to the table that no other game does is…*drum roll*… Wimbledon. With the Australian Open just finishing, and now Davis Cup heating up, the release of Grand Slam Tennis 2 will undoubtedly be a popular one.
