Pros: You can put spin on the ball and with practice, aim your shots.
Cons: Game play lags behind your motion.
The Bottom Line:
I wish I hadn't bought this game, or the Wii Motion Plus. The aggravation outweighs the fun.
After reading other people's reviews, I bought Grand Slam Tennis in order to have an enjoyable means of getting my cardio exercise (my bad knees prevent me from playing real tennis).
Game play is fast-paced, but Wii has a long way to go before that supposed 1:1 motion sensitivity actually works. I had spent just under $80 (including tax) on the game and a Wii Motion Plus attachment. I'd say that the Wii-mote responds about 75% of the time, and you'd better swing the very moment the ball leaves your opponent's racquet, or your player may not react at all (and you lose). So if you play with the nunchuck, there's precious little time to use it to position your player. I kept whipping myself in the face with the cord while trying to make my shots. I had to laugh at how ridiculous that must have looked. I tried playing without the nunchuck to allow the game system to get my player to the ball, and it did a so-so job. I also played without the Motion Plus attachment -- there wasn't much difference without it.
To sum up: not worth spending your hard-earned dollars on. The Wii Sports tennis that comes with the game console is actually more responsive.
