Grand Slam Tennis with Wii Motion Plus

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'm getting addicted to this game. At first I had no idea what I was doing thanks to the minimal instructions that the manual and the actual game provide. Eventually I found this video and learned a lot from watching awkward pause guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0fuPzbBpNQ

The most important thing to know about the game is that the left and right sides of the wii controller are the racket face. For some reason, this is nowhere to be found in the instructions. You get occasional motion plus glitches (sometimes the player will just lunge for the ball for no reason), but most of the time I have decent control over my player. I always hold the controller face up and flat, and after every point I try to hold the controller in a neutral position. You don't get 100% true 1:1 movement, but the amount of control you have over your swing is unmatched.

The graphics are simple, but I like the cartoony look of the players. It's a welcome change from the creepy, high res wax sculpture player models that you usually get in these games.

Really? This is illustrated on the loading screens on my copy.

Fun game, though, I've been going between this and Tiger Woods the past few weeks. One problem: The handful of times I've played online, the game was really laggy.

That HINT screen took it's time getting to me. I saw it today for the first time while I was playing.

How well does it simulate a real tennis swing regarding top spin, back spin, and side spin being created from your swing?

Also, does it have realistically volleys, or do you swing like normal for a volley?

An upward swing causes top spin, downward causes slice, and straight ahead is a flat shot. I think it works reasonably well, much better than Wii Tennis.

Tried online again, and it's just too buggy for me. A shame.
