It is almost as good looking a modern tennis sim as you could wish for but there are problems. The menus and the way the game is presented is clinical and very stylish. The legends are beautifully done, you get McEnroe’s curly barnet, headband and signature Sergio Tacchini shirt, Bjorn Borg’s outsider hippie steez and the energetic ginger menace of Boris Becker. GRAPHICS: With all your actual ESPN trim on the frontend, beautifully realised real-life stadia and proper players running about, you could be forgiven for thinking you are watching an actual HD sports broadcast at times. Is it set to join the big boys at tennis gaming’s top table? Or is this sophomore effort the equivalent of a gaggle of drunken middle class women screaming futile encouragement on “Henman Hill”? With a very similar, albeit this time photorealistic picture of classic era John McEnroe on the box, Grand Slam Tennis 2 has arrived. It is baffling as to why they left it this long to produce a sequel, or at the very least a version for the other home consoles. With officially licensed, playable legends, cleverly done stylized characters (negating the need to attempt realistic models with the inferior hardware, I am guessing), and surprisingly responsive gameplay, it was a success.

They did come up with the decent Motion Plus Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii a few years back, though. Seeing as they are generally regarded as the daddies where sports games are concerned, it is unusual that Electronic Arts haven’t really made much of an effort to dip their bread into some tennis-flavoured gravy. Top Spin is the second well known name in the tennis gaming world, and very much the straight up simulation of the two, with far more precise controls, including use of the right analogue stick, to go along with all the usual licensed faire you have come to expect from 2K Games.

Even now, if I spot an O.G Virtua Tennis arcade cab in an arcade I will have a crack at taking down the gauntlet of CPU opponents en route to glory, with the superbly named Tommy Haas my Teutonic weapon of tennis choice. Since 1999 Sega have provided a nice blend of arcade gameplay and licensed, if at times slightly odd realism. Virtua Tennis has had me in its vice-like grip for well over a decade now. In the same way the semi final stages of men’s tennis Grand Slams circa Y2K12 are invariably filled by the same old names listed above, the world of tennis videogames is also dominated by a couple of well known big hitters. Don’t sleep on the Mario Tennis games either, arcade style though they may be, they still play a rollicking good game of racquet sports.

Namco’s Smash Court series was tremendous. Remember that wire-frame stick men one for the Commodore 64? Loved it, although the name of it escapes me. It goes without saying that I love a good tennis ‘em up.
Yes indeed, we are lucky enough to live in the era of three of the most magnificent players of the modern age. The fearsome rivalry for the ages between Rafa Nadal and Gillette frontman Roger Federer, the Mr Fantastic-like abilities of rising superstar Djokovic. Available on: Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (Reviewed on Xbox 360)
