Grand Slam Tennis Wii first looks and impressions.

[Daniel130782]

cuando va a ser el dia en que hagan un juego realmente cercano a la realidad, personalizado y con todos los torneos de la ATP incluidos? es impresionante ver como la tecnologia ha evolucionado en los juegos de futbol y apreciar una maravilla de juego como lo son el PES 2010 Y 2011.

[Daniel130782]

sorry....its amazing how realistic a soccer video game can be. PES 2011 its an example of the good use of new technologies applied on video games. Its time now for a tennis game to be as good as a soccer game, in terms of graphics, licenses, REALISTIC MOVEMENTS and a good characterization of players.

we'll have to have a match on grand slam tennis soon

[venom400]

I really dont understand why EA feels like characters should be diving on a tennis game , that for me is the biggest turn off , you don't do this in real life and the pros do it because there is a lot on the match but even then they don't do it every point like this .

[dewster99]

I got this game for Christmas and don't have MP with it yet. I think I'll go get it today lol. It looks so much easier especially as I play tennis for real. Man your court positioning in this vid is horrible, thats why your losing

[darknight068]

I didn't deny that for a second. I've never actually played tennis beforehand so I knew that I had a lot to learn.

[dewster99]

yeah sorry, it was meant as advice

[tbrence]

please reply

[tbrence]

what is that channel with the talking circles?

[darknight068]

It's the Wii Speak channel.

[FuzyConker]

If u use nunchuk would it be annoying trying to play with both remotes because u cant do that much of a motion

[darknight068]

Just learn to sorta guide your nunchuk hand with your swings and you'll play just fine.

[JoseDisturbed]

where can u change how many games u play in a set? is it in my tennis or where exactly?

[mimbatuta]

Hi DarkNight068,

I have a question about your Wii Menu. I see that you got the Internet Channel. I don't have the channel, but I am thinking to buy it online, I was just wondering if it works like when you are online in a PC?

[Lewis080]

yer you can play flash games on go on youtube and different stuff like that, it is not overally slow and it is alright just to check stuff out !

How much is it, i got it when it was free :)

[mimbatuta]

Thanks

[darknight068]

It's 500 points I believe. It's actually not a bad browser at all. I personally like to use it at night when I don't feel like being at the computer.

[will5176]

all add me bloodhound51 send nuddy request wiil accept and does wii motion plus make a difference at all please answer

[timsindahouse]

yeah it does, its more responsive

[darknight068]

Now that I've FINALLY won a Grand Slam and played around with it a bit more, playing without MP is SUCH a handicap. It's easier to pick up and play without MP, but you lose SOOOO much shot control that way. Even with the few flaws here and there, this is an incredibly fun game.

[darknight068]

Yeah, it's late, but just got around to adding you. Add me whenever you get the chance. I'm darknight06

[andrijaVIII2]

this or new tiger woods 2010 ????

pleeease answer

[darknight068]

Tiger for the sure bet, but both if you can.

[DJGANESHA]

Big fan of this game. i still find it hard to find the exact good position and playing the ball straight. I'm learning but what a gameplay! Graphics are funny but it's no kidsplay game!

[darknight068]

It's definitely not child's play. You really got to work for it sometimes, not to mention have nerves of steel in longer games. It's quite an incredible experience, I think EVERY Wii owners NEEDS to give either this or Tiger Woods 10 a shot.

[darknight068]

It's all in the angles and getting a proper velocity behind your swing.

[gregp94]

how do you go forward to the net ect?

[darknight068]

Analog stick on the nunchuk for movement. If it's Wii Remote only, use up and down to advance forward and backward.

[gregp94]

ok thanks, which one would you recommend?

[darknight068]

Nunchuk without question. You're gonna want to be able to move around on your own.

[gregp94]

nice one, thanks

[KnuxSonic8]

I can barely hear you with your TV so loud. :P

Anyway, so how are the controls? I mean, some are complaining about the steep learning curve and whatnot but what are your thoughts on it as a whole? What's the proper way to play it (some say the face of the racket is the side of the Remote)? Do you think it's worth it so far? Plan on doing a vid of online play?

[darknight068]

I'm not going online until I get the controls straight, otherwise I'll just embarrass myself.

[KnuxSonic8]

lol, that's understandable. I'm currently leaning towards VT 2009 right now after I get TW PGA Tour 10 (hopefully this weekend).

[darknight068]

I still want to play that. If I can find a rental place that has it, I might just get it from there and try it out. If you decide on VT2009, let me know what you think of it.

[KnuxSonic8]

Definitely will do.

[darknight068]

See the video description for an updated assessment of the controls.

[KnuxSonic8]

Thanks. Helps a bit...
