I expected it to be everything that the Wii Sports tennis was plus more, given the three-year learning curve to learn the ins and outs of the motion controls implemented by Nintendo in their **** best-selling system. It's either a testament to the lack of communication between Nintendo and third party devs or EA simply churned out another half-assed product that is barely playable.
With the GST the motion controls are exposed for the gimmick they really are. In Wii Sports, the gameplay feels natural. The original Nintendo product, which was only to blaze some trails and show devs the proper way, turns out to be so timeless that no EA, let alone Rockstar with their Table Tennis, won't beat it. To your dismay, the situation is not that simple. Three years after the premiere of Wii Sports you expect devs to have mastered the motion controls. But no, they are as inept at harnessing the Wii mote as a monkey driving a car.

You would think that three years in the Wii life span (the GST came out in 2009) other developers than Nintendo itself would have learnt how to use motion controls. Seriously, you are better off playing the good old Wii Sports tennis than the Grand Slam Tennis, whose controls are far from intuitive and for the most part, they simply don't work like they're supposed to. And what purpose does it serve (no pun intended)? If someone will tell me please what the difference is between the gameplay with and without the motion plus? The tech demo that Wii Sports was is still better by leaps and bounds than this abomination. I had high hopes for this game, especially given it is supposed to take advantage of the motion plus accessory. I highly recommend any tennis fan to give this a try, and commit to the practice and experimentation required to get comfortable with the controls. However, even with that accuracy nailed down, you can definitely expect the game AI to make you work for every point, making every match very rewarding. Every slice, topspin, flat shot, and degree of speed started registering completely naturally as I am used to hitting on the real court. At that point it became very simple to hit early when aiming left or hit later when aiming right. Instead, I played as if the length of my TV was the size of the singles court (22-inch) with the length of the TV case it stands on as the net length and baseline.

You can't play as if you're on a full size court. It is very important to return to a ready stance (as if holding the racket up in front of you) and keep the direction of your hit aimed at the sensor bar for the game to accurately pickup your movements. The game advises to use slow and easy full swings (using the Wiimote Plus), and that takes some getting used to, but once you start to do it consistently you'll be able to plan your shots with remarkable precision.

I'm a very avid tennis player and fan of professional tennis, and I have to say from life experience that this is the most accurate tennis game I've ever played. I'm a very avid tennis player and fan of professional tennis, The hardest thing about this game is by far and large adapting to the controls.
