Virtua Tennis 2009

What a game! Theres a huge amount of variety which is quite hard to achieve in tennis. They've added some fun mini-games which are interesting, there is a world tour mode in which you create your own tennis player and work your way up from rank 100 of amatuers to reach the pros, then rank 150 to 1 in the pro league, which takes plenty of time. Also there is a good training game in which you can achieve new playstyles which effects how you play. There is an arcade mode where you play as a pro eg. Andy Roddick and go against 5 stages of pros which get harder each match. With motion plus it is very accurate and the matches are quite short so you don't drag on, the only negative thing is there isn't enough pro players.

i'm really impressed by the gameplay on this one, i was initially going to buy grand slam but decided to go with the reviewers choice and got this. at first it was a little hard to get the hang of, i think i was overthinking the wii motionplus, but u just gotta trust the genius of it and do as it says! best to keep the wii remote in the middle between shots and you gotta keep moving about and not stand and admire your last shot. all in all i'm still happy with my purchase and looking forward to playing it a lot more and mastering it! still, i wouldnt mind playing grand slam just to see what its like - there's still that little niggling doubt in my head that i might have made the wrong choice.. but then some people who bought GST might be wondering the same about VT. Solution? Buy both!

I ended up with both Virtua Tennis and Grand Slam Tennis. The latter is much nicer graphically and better for the game play, although some mini-games ideas for VT2009 are interesting.

I was really looking forward to this one being a big fan of the original coin-op and wii sports tennis. The first few days of gameplay were good. The tutorial mode with Tim Henman is a good feature and provides an interesting way to learn the range of shots the game has to offer. Once however you've mastered the control bar to time your swing you can pretty much put the ball wherever you want whenever you want. The world tour mode is a great concept but after winning 40 games straight and moving up the rankings with ease I'd had enough. A real shame!!!!

Have both Grand slam (EA) and Virtua. If i was to compare them Grand Slam is alot better. You only get a slight say in the direction of the ball, Graphics arent that Amazing, crowd are better though. Gameplay is Okay but you have this (Shot Gauge) Which you seem to focus on more then the actual Ball. Poor Game. (:
