Review by Glen on 2nd September, 2009
"Good, but room for improvement"
First up, this is a good game - it could have been excellent with a bit more polish, but as it sits, EA has created a fun, addictive game that should appeal to both the casual and the hardcore sports gamer.
M+ adds a whole new dimension to the play, and at first, can be a little difficult to master for those used to Wii Sports Tennis. By the end of your first round of tournaments, it becomes almost second nature - spending a little time at the practice court can help you identify and learn the variety of shots, and how a slight twist of your wrist can drastically alter the balls flight. In game, it's preferable to use a Nunchuck/Wiimote combo, so you can move your player exactly where you want - this unfortunately can make for some cable wrenching moments with those big swings - wireless nunchuck for M+ would be a good future purchase.
Opponents are challenging (and feature all the stars you'd expect from 1970 onward - satisfying to watch McEnroe hurl his racket on the ground when you win a set!) and real tension develops as you climb the tournament ladder. There's also good amount of unlockable equipment and clothing to give you boosts and change your appearance.
Visually, the games graphics are the cartoon style that EA Sports is applying to most of its Wii titles. It's a style I like, but I know it grates with some people. With that graphical simplicity, I feel they could've put a whole lot more options in the 'create a player' menus - good luck trying to create Paulie Walnuts to play in the Aussie Open! Also, some way to give your player more personality would've been great - do they grunt when they hit the ball? Do they argue with the Umpire? On that subject, I'd love if you could dispute some of those dodgy line balls your opponents play.
These are small gripes though, and this game definitely has that "just one more match" addictiveness to it.

"A real tennis experience"
After watching demos at E3 09 this is really shaping up to be quite impressive. The accuracy with the new motionplus add on is phenomenal and it will be interesting to see whether EA sports' Grand Slam Tennis will be better or worse than Virtua Tennis 2009, which also supports motion plus.
