    Under normal circumstances, tennis games wouldn't usually receive a whole lot of hype or attention from the mainstream media. Read more

    Grand Slam Tennis has some great inclusions, with a varied selection of well-styled licensed players, all four Grand Slam tournaments, and a number of modes, including online play, to keep you busy. Despite this, the overall experience is let down by a control scheme that's frustratingly erratic. As a result, the gameplay is difficult and made even more challenging by the need to level up your character by defeating the sport's champions. Despite some successes, Grand... Read more

    EA's Grand Slam Tennis has the dubious honor of not only being a new franchise for the publishing giant, but one that takes advantage of Nintendo's mostly unproven new attachment, Wii MotionPlus. So far, some games, like Tiger Woods 10 make excellent use of the little plastic nubbin, while others do not. Grand Slam Tennis falls somewhere in... Read more

    The conclusion of this review is rather surprising. While I thought at first this game would exell in its controls while all the rest would stay behind, Grand Slam Tennis appears to be a very complete and well worked out game that gets crippled by the new Wii MotionPlus controls. These may be more precise but this definitely doesn't heighten the fun: the registration of your movement is all but perfect and it still seems to have problems with random flaws. Something made...

    But not even EA could overcome the double whammy of dealing with a new sport coupled with a new motion control technology in MotionPlus with Grand Slam Tennis. The unreliable swing controls siphon any enjoyment out of playing and MotionPlus is presented as an afterthought that adds virtually nothing to the game. Another year for EA to focus on harnessing the capabilities of MotionPlus and ironing out the swing controls will do the franchise well. Treat this first effort... Read more

    EA sports have done a great job - the game simply is not for kids which I love. There needs to be more games like this. It would have been great to be able to add 'line ball challenges' to create more excitement. I hope EA sports can follow through this control through to other sports games on Wii. People who say the controls are too difficult are used to simple games that take most of your control away. If you were about to give up using Wii, try this as it has now... Read more

    While attending the finals of this summer's Cincinnati U.S. Open Series tournament (Roger Federer defeated Novak Djokovic), I saw that they were holding a demo of the latest tennis game for Nintendo Wii, Grand Slam Tennis.  I was immediately ... Read more
