Virtua Tennis 2009Wii

May wait for EA Grand Slam Tennis instead as it uses the WiiMotionPlus adaptor. Virtua Tennis is meant to be a quality title (using past games as evidence) to be fair, but I wonder if the controls will work with that engine in use. It only just about did with Sega Superstar.

Aaahhh yes it does, sorry. Its been reviews by n-gamer at around 88%....and thats WITHOUT wiimotionplus in use. It sounds quite "hardcore" though

Just so you know. I've bought EA's GST. I traded it for VT 2009 due to unresponsiveness of the controls in GST. Sometimes, the controls work and other times they just don't. Due to the poor AI you have to absolutely use the nunchuk to move your player. I usually play tennis with my dad (he's 52 and doesn't play video games) so he doesn't need to know all the subtle controls(a for a lob, etc) to have fun. He just needs to know that to hit the ball you swing the wiimote. I tried GST with him and after a few hours we've decided GST wasn't polished enough control wise. And also GST is pretty hard even at medium difficulty. I've still managed to win 2 of 15 matches. VT's responsiveness is way better than GST's and it's more fun to play.

You can move your player around with the D-pad - although they do move automatically - but otherwise your shot selection is all down to how you swing your racquet. As for camera angles, I haven't tried to change them yet but I think there's an over-the-shoulder view. Could be wrong though - full review coming this weekend!
