I got WM+ yesterday and GST works great. I don't really see the huge learning curve either, a few minutes after playing I was already able to direct a lot of shots. The most important thing is to know that the side of the remote is the face of the racket.
The button modifiers for lobs and drops work well, but they're not 100% necessary. It seemed to me that I could do a lob with motion only, even if it was not quite as pronounced (but I only tried a few times).
It gives you a lot more control than the tennis in Wii Sports (even without WM+), and the online mode works really well. Out of several hours of play I saw maybe one instance of slowdown (which was probably lag in the connection).
It's not 1:1, then again 1:1 would make the game very hard as tennis is not the easiest sport.
| DKII said: Tiger Woods is much better. From a practical gameplay standpoint Grand Slam Tennis didn't feel that much different from Wii Sports Tennis despite using WM+. |
How long did you play GST for? I think it's a completely different (and better) control from Wii Sports Tennis.
