Grand Slam Tennis

The character is bigger, cute, shorter, fattier, looks more towards cartoonish.

The court looks real and smooth with someone talking in the background (usually watch sports games got some stupid feller giving comments). The overall game play is about the controls of backhand and forehand.

Assuming you are holding the wiimote using right hand. If the ball is on ur left, then you need to use backhand to hit the ball otherwise it wont hit the ball or in other words will miss it. It depends on how hard you hit the ball because the harder you hit the ball the easier it will be out. Of course to do drop shot and lob u can press A to lob and B to drop shot.

Its not easy to control the ball left or right and not easy to keep it in the court because if you swing a little harder, it will be out.

The character runs slow

Winning the game requires technique and a lot of trainings like catching the players position and deciding to do drop shot of lob to win the game.

Takes a long time to load LOL!


Virtual Tennis

The character looks slimmer, taller, smaller in screen, and more serious. When it is close showing the players face, the graphic is bad compared to Grand Slam Tennis which is smoother.

The court looks like normal Virtual Tennis type of court (if you are virtual tennis player, you should know this). With background music, overall the sound of the ball hit the racket and the sound of the shoe running in the court is not as real as Grand Slam Tennis.

The game play is different from Grand Slam Tennis where in the whole game (probably because I am not using Motion Plus?) is about left and right to win the game. Probably I just test the game a while, but with normal swinging of wiimote, I cant see how can I lob or do a drop shot by just swinging the wiimote, maybe I need a Motion Plus.

If you played wii sports tennis before, this might be an upgrade version of wii sports tennis type of controls. Backhand and Forehand swing of wiimote isnt really important since there is an indicator moving when the ball almost reach and when you hit the ball at that particular indicator point, the ball will go to the angle showing in the indicator. Its simply easier to play compared to Grand Slam Tennis in my point of view. Basically its controlling left and right and forehand or backhand shot will be done automatically.

The character runs faster compared to Grand Slam Tennis

Example if the ball is on the left and assuming the racket you hold is right hand. The indicator runs from RIGHT to LEFT and the slower you hit the ball, the further the ball will go to right until you miss it if the indicator point runs out. Vice versa for the ball on right. So now you see the game is actually left and right to win the game.

Game Loading time is shorter~



Conclusion

What can be found in Grand Slam Tennis cannot be found in Virtual Tennis and vice versa. Its really plain in the ass when losing to the NPC in game while playnig Grand Slam Tennis because they are so PRO! Time is needed to train and its more realistic compare to Virtual Tennis due to the forehand and backhand requirement as Virtual Tennis will detect any movement of wiimote as long as it is base on the indicator. Although you need to press A and B to lob and drop shot in Grand Slam Tennis, it is still a great game once you learnt the curve of the game. For me although Virtual Tennis is easier to play, but I can see Grand Slam Tennis is more powerful and realistic.
