I bought this tennis game and the Nintendo Wii Plus attachment for the controller on the assumption that it would be more fun than the original Nintendo Wii Sports Tennis. I was wrong. This game is less fun. It requires pushing more buttons that confuse the player. The game is less easy to play. The Wii Plus seems to add nothing to control of the ball that is not in the original Wii Sports Tennis. The game is too fast and the “player figure” seems to jump around and get out of position for the next shot. This does not happen in the original game. Perhaps the Nintendo system is too limited to make the game seem closer to “real”. The new technology from Microsoft and from Sony that eliminates the controller and uses a camera to “see” what the player is doing might be what is needed to give the player a more true to life experience of actually playing a real tennis game.

Maybe I haven’t spent as much time figuring it out as I need to or maybe I just don’t want to. I prefer wii sports tennis to this game. I still can’t figure out how to move the players from side to side. It went back in it’s box and stayed there after a very frustrating afternoon. I only have limited time to play anything so if I can’t learn it quickly it’s out of there…. Very disappointing especially for the cost.

This is by far the best tennis game ever for the wii. This is much more realistic and challenging. The graphics are cool..and i have observed the player behaves exactly as the player in the game.

That is, it is way too difficult to win even on Easy mode playing against the computer opponents. Computer opponents rarely, if ever, miss a shot, much less make an error. There is not much fun to be had in consistently losing matches 3 sets to none. Too bad, since otherwise, the game is pretty neat and actually quite fun to play with against another human player. Why EA Sports ratcheted up the difficultly is beyond me as it ruins the fun.

I have tried to play this game 4 different times and every time I play I end up frustrated. When I play, my character either swings too early while I am moving the controller or doesn’t swing at all. The serving is totally useless as an offensive weapon and it really does not feel like tennis. I played tennis for years and was a fair player but what I try to do with the controller does not follow what a racket would do. I even purchased the MotionPlus hoping this would help but that does not correct the problem with poor sensor recognition. Unfortunately I am now stuck with a useless game that will sit on the shelves, never to be touched again.
My one question is how so many people are giving this such good grades as I do not see any realism here and it reacts as many Wii games do, poor sensor to controller movement. I guess I was hoping for too much.
