Very good tennis game. Some reviewers complain about the difficulty of timing the shots and that the motion + is not 1 to 1, but I did not see any problems with the controls other than the occasional misswing or directional error. These problems were caused by my error more so than a controller malfunction. The online play is very fun, and I have found other people to play very quickly. My 3 year old was able to hit against the ball machine so the playability factor for young kids is very good. I would like to see games like this have a non-motion control option like mario kart wii uses. I think that would add to the game a good bit. It could use more options like a career mode and online tourneys, but if they put it all in the first one, then why would we buy the next?!?!
Negative: The controls do not easily switch from forehand to backhand, do not always default to the most natural position. That leaves the player making an awkward forehand, for instance, when the player is set up perfectly for a backhand. And some times the player runs past the ball for a forehand when a real player would run less and hit a backhand. It just takes getting used to it. Positive: The graphics are amazing and the rally/volley switching is a hoot. Attacking the net is fun! Gaining new skills is a fun way to break up tournament play. This game is THE tennis vid for Wii. After a couple weeks you'll want to turn off the commentary, though.
Awesome product that keeps you interested and motivated to try to beat whomever you are playing against. Great graphics and sound effects. You can actually do trick shots, but you must be careful as the computer or other player can do the same. I have been searching for this game for a very long time (I had it before but broke it) and it has always been extremely high priced until now.

I am still learning all the maneuvers, but it is a great challenging game, which is what I wanted. I look forward to playing it! Really gives you a work-out, even though not actually on the court. Well worth the price. When I wear this one out, will purchase again!!!

The game is very fun and especially good if you enjoyed wii tennis on wii sports. The game has some trouble registering certain shots. For example, hitting a top spin shot to the right side of the court with your forehand is especially difficult (if you're right handed). I haven't tried on-line yet but I hear it's very good. For a party game, my friends and I get a big kick out of this.
