Grand slam tennis by EA sports is the first game to support Wii Motion plus but is woefully let down by the complexity of the controls and the hopelessness of the player to control the avatar. EA sports has ventured into the tennis genre after almost 10 years and many people were hoping that the result would be at par with EA’s other offerings. This is the first game to have all the grand slam titles included in it. The game offers 23 different past and present players including 23 past or present players, including Serena Williams, Justine Henin, Boris Becker, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. The game is letdown by the difficult control schemes.
The controls and angle of the rackets must be all so perfect that even a slight mistake on part of the player warrants a fault or point to the other player. And sometimes it feels that the AI randomly chooses to give away points by not running towards the ball or not swinging the racket at the right time. There is no practice mode, only thing close to a practice mode is a tutorial with the ball machine and that doesn’t help in the improving the experience for the player. An extra feature is the Get Fit that calculates how much calories you’ve burnt while playing the game. This game is for people who don’t mind the steep learning curve and uncontrollable avatars.
