An impressive package on Wii, and one of the best tennis games I’ve ever played.

A solid first effort for the new franchise that, while a bit rough in some parts, offers the most well-rounded tennis experience on the Wii. [July 2009, p.88]

If you’re after the most realistic feeling tennis game on the market, Grand Slam Tennis for Wii is it, when it works. MotionPlus-enabled shots can be performed by feel alone (as long as you’re not lobbing or performing drop shots) and this will be enough for a lot of gamers – just be prepared for a fair few annoying moments. If you’re after an in-depth single-player experience you might be disappointed though, as what’s on offer here is geared around playing with friends.

An underwhelming representation of tennis, crippled by unintuitive controls, and just makes you want to go back to the precision of Top Spin or Virtua Tennis on a control pad. You can’t blame Wii MotionPlus for this failure, because it’s almost impossible to tell whether it’s helping or hindering.
