good August 27, 2010

the reviews i have seen here are scary but really this game is great i just got it. played for nearly 3 hours with my kids and we just loved it. easy mode is just to easy i beat fedex 6-3 loved it though the feeling beating the most 2D player ever but thats for another day (nadal fan you see and even longer lendl).back to the game the graphics are what you expect from wii good. but some people on here are trying to compare it to PC DONT its not the same wii is for fun. if you want hardcore then get a nvidia stick it in a pc and play call of duty and start sticking claymore everywhere. wii was never ment for hardcore gamers it was for a few hours of fun with you standing up and doing soemthing.which this game easily does. the charactors are fine too.i have had no problems with my wii controllers while playing this.
so dont be put of by others they have there issues obviously but really this game is as close to playing tennis on a gaming machine as you will get.its not the real thing so dont compare it please like others have. i mean how can it be.
ALL 4 GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENTS WON August 23, 2010
Paul
What can I say I played each Grand Slam 7 times and for the first 27 games I was knocked out in the first round - on the 28th game I advanced to the Quarter Final. I was so frustrated that on absolute winners my MII Kept doing something odd and I continued to loose points. And then on three stars with two bronze abilities it came together. On the eighth round of Slams I started off by winning the Aussie Open against Nadal and all the other matches that I played at tournament tennis ie 9 out of 9.
Wow now the French Open, surely I can't do better. I did, I beat Stefan Edberg in the Final winning 9 out of 9 games. And then at Wimbledon I beat Nadal in the Quarter Final, Edberg in the Semi-Final and Pete Sampras in the Final. Once again 9 out of 9, so only the US Open to go. Could I go the Final hurdle? I was now on four and a half gold stars and had about six learned abilities.
There was no need to worry I beat Roger Federer 3-0 in the final. That is all four grand slams in one season.
Having accomplished that I feel I can talk about the lack of control that people keep referring to. Beware- you will lose points and get frustrated at losing easy winners constantly and on vital games go 40-0 down or 2 games down. The important thing is to play through this and keep your nerve. It is the games way of evenning up the score and therefore is the reason I give this game 4 STARS. Whilst I think the controls, the graphics and the action are brilliant I can't help being a little peeved when I lose points when I have lined up everything perfectly. If this can be improved in someway the game would be perfect - guess the ability level will have to get harder though to accommodate this or once you get a feel for the game you will start to win easily.
Hope this helps

I read some of the previous reviews before purchasing this game. This game is the real deal. Its not like tennis on the Wii, there is no comparison. This is like playing real tennis. I am yet to win a match yet and I have not entered any of the slam tournaments.If you do not hit proper ground strokes and do not have a good technique you will get found out. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and certainly get's your competitive juices going. I strongly recommend that you practice so you have a feel for the game. I makes you realise what level these guys play at how and good they really are. This game is for real tennis fans and you will find it hard to stop playing. EA sports have produced a fantastic product.One other thing make sure you have plenty of space when playing with two players and make sure you dont break any lights like I did.
