Wii Like Wii MotionPlus
While most will find that the old school scheme offers familiar fun, I encourage individuals looking to up their game to spring for the play-enhancing peripheral; supporting an incredible degree of accuracy and precision, Wii MotionPlus brings an unparalleled amount of strategy to the console court. And while the added sensitivity doesn't offer exact 1:1 motion, it far outshines the "waggle" control of previous Wii games. In fact, many might find this newfound freedom frustrating at first, as it'll feel oversensitive to those more accustomed to waving their WiiMotes around like a monkey on a Red Bull bender. There's definitely a learning curve to conquer, but the investment's totally worth it - you'll start to appreciate the power this new peripheral packs the first time you intentionally send a shot hurtling down the line or cross court. And those looking for even more control of their game can add Nunchuck support for additional player movement.
Grand Slam's a great package, especially for those who've grown bored with Wii Sports's comparatively casual take on tennis. The Wii MotionPlus-assisted play is nearly pitch-perfect, the modes brimming with features, and the visuals - while the weakest aspect of the title - offer some cartoony charm. As a quality tennis title and an impressive showcase of Nintendo's new tech, EA's ambitious first effort easily takes the cup.
PROS: Tons of great content supported by amazing Wii MotionPlus controls.
CONS: Learning curve might be a bit much for Wii Sports's tennis champs.

You forget that Gamespot sucks ass, and doesn't like games in general.

I bought this game 2 weeks ago. This is the best tennis game I've ever played. Totally addictive!!!A must for those who like sports and not just being sit in a chair. It takes time to manage, but once you get it, can't stop playing it. High price with the wii motion, but it worth the cost.
