Emo-Iwata Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 IGN Hands On. http://wii.ign.com/articles/962/962284p1.html Once you plug in the Wii MotionPlus dongle, the title auto-recognizes it and takes advantage of its added precision. Simple, no fuss. And all of a sudden you play Grand Slam Tennis very differently. Rallies become much less about timing and much more about the motion and positioning of your swing. The experience considerably more natural and intuitive than any tennis videogame I have ever played, Wii Sports included. And you'll notice this added control fidelity the moment you start playing. If you bend down with the controller in hand, your athletic superstar will do the same, positioning his racket in a lower formation. If you raise the controller above your head, so will he. If you hold it at mid-level, he will too. And you can play the match in these formations. Forehands and backhands are legitimately read and translated, occasionally at your expense. If you anticipate shots and prepare a forehand or backhand correctly, you'll be golden, and your rallies will be intense and long. But if you misread a shot, go for a forehand and then correct to a backhand, your character will try to do the same, which takes a second, and you might actually flub the shot because of it. You don't have to do that, though, because you can play the way you want to. If you find, for example, that you just don't like your backhands, you can attack left-corner court returns with forehand swings. You simply position the Wii remote sideways as though you want to hit a forehand return and your character will go into the position and strafe over so that you can hit the ball. Works flawlessly and feels very dynamic. I can't wait to play a lot more of the game, but even now two truths are rapidly becoming evident. First, EA Grand Slam Tennis is better than Wii Sports Tennis even without MotionPlus support. But with it, the game is in another league entirely. Look out for more coverage of the extremely promising sports game soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out a new trailer in our media section. WOW!!sounds awesome,having every shot reflect according to your movements,my most anticipated sports game by a mile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Kap Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 How many of you guys actually have VT3 for 360? Seriously, it will be nice to have a friendly doubles/singles tournament with a few Indian players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo-Iwata Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 How many of you guys actually have VT3 for 360? i tried it but i preferred top spin 2 over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Kap Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 i tried it but i preferred top spin 2 over it. Top Spin 2 was a darn good game. Somehow, I just didn't like the third installment all that much. Maybe it was just a dot too realistic for me. But I think I can safely blame the arcade like play style and the amazing addictiveness of VT3 for spoiling my TS3 experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerush Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 TS3 is so damn realistic when compared to VT3. But its tough to learn at first. Initially, at easy difficulty, you'll see even Nadal play like the worst player. But once you get the hang of the game and play in very hard mode, Nadal plays just like the real one. @Emo-Iwata: Dude, you gotta try TS3, if you want to play realistic tennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Kap Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 But I can bet on the fact that VT3 is miles ahead when it comes to online playability. I remember how bad the lag used to be in TS2, almost frame-by-frame, if not worse. But in all fairness, TS3 features a rather strict or true to nature brand of tennis, which of course, may or may not liked by everyone. VT3 is more like riding a Fun-Vee. You can invite a few pals, setup up system linked tournaments, wet some whistles with a few cans of Duff like beer, and have loads of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhav Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 yeah TS3 is abit annoying and frustrating at first coz of its realisticness,, but once yu get a hang of it, the game is a bliss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
