Grand Slam Tennis (Wii)

I recently bought the EA Sports Grand Slam tennis, together with the Remote Plus Accessory. I had become somewhat addicted to the tennis game on the Wii Sports game package and wanted a new challenge. The game retails for around £25, or with the Motion Plus Accessory, for £45. The Motion Plus Accessory can be found for £16 so it may be an idea to buy the two separately. Grand Slam tennis enables you to play the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, progressing through exhibition matches where you can gain new skills and unlocking new bits of kit. The remote plays quite well, mimicking the topspin and backspin actions you would normally ...  Read the complete review

Tennis is one of those games the Wii was created for allowing you to bound around the living room, flapping at invisible balls, it's a great idea for basic fitness as well as before you know it you've played two sets against Venus Williams or been battered for 3 sets by Rafa Nadal.

Many years ago I had a Sega Mega Drive and was - and still am - very proud of completing Grand Slam Tennis as Monica Seles. Funny how tennis a simple game can still induce the same compitive madness, the game doesn't change - the graphics and platforms do. First please note we do have Wii Motion Plus, so this review is written with that in mind. There are two teenage boys in this household, therefore all reading of manuals is usually left entirely down to me - and that's usually because either they become ...  Read the complete review

This game is the best tennis game on the wii (even better than the wii sports tennis game)!! Of course, as in most wii games, the multiplayer is so much fun. But, unlike other games, the single player is also very good and addictive. In single player, you create your own character and slowly build up their skills by hitting winners in matches. You travel around the globe playing in the Australian Open, French Open (rolland garros), Wimbledon and the US Open (flushing meadows). Not only can you play in all of these grand slam tournaments, but you can play in various courts in each country, eg. at wimbledon you can play on centre court, court 1, court 2 and some of ...  Read the complete review
