When I found out that the Wii has released a tennis game I was very intrigued to find out how good it actually was. After playing on Wii tennis i was looking forward to seeing how much of an improvement this game was. With it being from EA Sports I expected it to be a hell of a lot better than the standard tennis game which you can play on the Wii. Price I actually only paid £19.99 for this game which i was pretty pleased with because i did expect the game to be more. I have found it around now for £14 which is a good enough drop to think about going out and purchasing it for yourself. For the amount of fun you could have with this game I really ...  Read the complete review

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

I knew this would happen. I ache all over already and this game has only been in the house 24 hours. It's pure evil but I love it. 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

The idea was fantastic, the abilty to play with real professional players (some of the all time big names as well as todays top stars) at the four biggest tennis tournaments in the world , and on the wii of all consoles. Of course being on the wii means that the graphics are not going to be great.However, it is easy to tell that there has been a lot of effort put into the cartoons so that they do resemble the players. In order to experiance the most realistic game of tennis, I thought that playing the true EA version with motion sensor + controllers must be the real deal, but I am quite dissapointed. Unfortunately I do not think the control of the ...  Read the complete review

Grand Slam Tennis on the Wii gives gamers a chance to take the step up from Wii Sports Tennis and experience a more realistic game. The game utilises cartoon style graphics and the characters look somewhat like their real life counterparts. This style works well with the Wii and means the game keeps its fun feel. Gameplaywise the game is a big step up from the simple waggle of the wii as the Motion Plus accessory means that you movements are more accurately displayed on screen. This works reasonably well though is not without its troubles as the game does not give you true 1:1 control and the on screen animation will sometimes get confused as to your ...  Read the complete review
