Our Total Racquet Control system allows you, for the first time in a tennis game, to control the action using only the analog sticks. The controls in EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis 2 are our biggest innovations in the product and possibly the first real innovation in tennis gaming in some time. Talk to us a little about the controls in EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis 2? This combined with the fact that the PlayStation 3 came out with the PlayStation Move controller made for perfect timing to offer the game on these two new platforms. A lot of under the hood power and tech within the game is from the Fight Night engine and the results are fantastic.

Creating an authentic sports experience, visually and in the controls is what our consumers are looking for these platforms, which is what we focused on. EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis 2 on the other hand was built with the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 consumers in mind.

Everything from the stylization of the characters and visuals overall to the social party modes that shipped in the product were designed with the Wii consumer in mind. The original version of Grand Slam Tennis was exclusive to the Nintendo Wii platform. With the genre dominated by 2K Sports with their Top Spin franchise and SEGA with their Virtua Tennis franchise is there any room for EA's newest entry into the genre? We sit down with Producer Thomas Singleton to found out.ĮA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis 2 is making its first appearance on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 what was the reason for now bringing the game to these platforms? Well it just so happens a few weeks after the big game EA Sports is set to release their first tennis game for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

With the Super Bowl in our rear view mirror we here at Darkstation are ready to move forward with our sports gaming and see what else is out there.
