EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis

EA SPORTS™ welcomes a new member to its family of world ****franchises. EA SPORTS Grand SlamĀ® Tennis delivers the deepest and richest tennis experience ever developed for the Wii™ with authentic tennis motions on the most famous courts in the world. Professional tennis is all about the Grand Slams and EA’s new tennis franchise is no different. It is the only videogame where users can play at Wimbledon. In fact, it is home to all four Grand Slams; from the Australian Open to Roland Garros to the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon to the lively U.S. Open. Perform real life tennis strokes in your living room and control every inch of the court. Users feel like they have a racket in their hands as they swing real forehands and backhands. The 23-player line-up features some of the greatest and most accomplished in history including John McEnroe, who is exclusively featured. Joining the enigmatic Mac is an impressive roster of fellow champions who collectively own 135 Grand Slam singles titles, making this the most accomplished group of players ever assembled for a tennis videogame. EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis is a genuine tennis experience that truly puts the racket in the palm of your hand!!

Actual audio was recorded from the Grand Slams and used in the game. • Tennis for Everyone: As simple or as complex as users want their gaming experience to be.

Online mode sounds interesting. I will get this instead of Golf for the M+. Nintendo should bundle M+ with these EA games, it will give third parties some confidence.

I do! EA is taking this franchise in a great direction. And then they say they're making a BRAND NEW engine for the Wii for Madden 10. It's supposed to have a "unique style" I can't wait. EA is doing an outstanding job this year. Boom Blox in two months!

I dont discover so much new in this article, although i wasnt sure about online. I've been looking forward to this game since the first previews and it sounds still great. I hope they make a decent AI, because imo thats a lack of many tennis games (often just too easy). A good onlien mode would be awesome aswell :) and yes Tikicobra imo the graphics are top-notch for the wii! plus, music by paul von dyk sounds nice :D

Looks amazing. The only fault I can find with this game is that the ball is two-toned and too big. It bugs me.

It looks awesome. Now I need a Virtua Tennis video to know which one I'm getting. Right now I'm leaning towards EASGST.

Same here. Does anybody know if Virtua Tennis supports M+? There seems to be very little coverage so far on this game. I would've thought SEGA would push it harder if it did support M+?

Wait, so is this like wii sports tennis where we don't control the character's movement, just the swings? If so, I'm less stoked about this.

Read the first post in this thread. You can control the player with the nunchuck if you want but you don't have to.

Is this the one that will be bundled with WM+? Either way I'll probably get it eventually.

In Europe yes. It's still unclear if it will be bundled on NA also.
