Fierce_LiNk Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 This just proves how you can't trust reviews, and should not put the purchase of a game on the line after reading one. How can one reviewer give this a 5, another give it a 7 and another a 9?!
dazzybee Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 There's enough of us getting it this week, we'll all tell you how we feel about it. And surely fellow gamers are the people you ned to listen to

Tellyn Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Dazzy speaks the truth! I've preordered it anyway. Most likely Friday for me.
DazzeL Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, I give in. Little King's Story will just have to wait. Preordered.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, I give in. Little King's Story will just have to wait. Preordered. I just hope Hero of Time didn't read that. OR ELSE YOU WILL DIIIE!
Japjer Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'll hunt down the game tomorrow, expect me online as soon as i get it (most likely with Japjer as my handle).

darksnowman Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Mine was despatched this morning! LKS will defo have to wait.
dazzybee Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Same here! Woop! Should definitely be here tomorrow!!!
Owen Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Same here! Woop! Should definitely be here tomorrow!!! Same here! I'm expecting it Friday, fingers crossed for tomorrow though.
Japjer Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Got it! They already had it yesterday, but at least there were plenty copies left. Already tried it out a bit. So far I don't really do that well. It keeps registering my forehands as backhands for some reason, however when it's done correctly, it usually goes where i want it to go. Played some online matches too. This one guy kept spamming lobs, and they're quite hard to hit =(. I opened a thread in the online subforums if anyone wants to play me =)

Like real tennis then....very good.
tapedeck Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 lol. I heard that you really need to hit the practice area hard as it can take up to an hour to really get used to the controls. The practice mode spits tennis balls at you so I'm sure it will be fun. From discussions I've seen, there is also a specific way to hold the remote apparently. Although the discussions I've seen on this seem like a normality for me. Forefinger on B button, thumb on A. How else do people hold the remote for tennis games?! There were hints that you hold the remote nearly sideways though. Someone can elaborate for me tomorrow
Japjer Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Someone can elaborate for me tomorrow Or today! :p Yea, it's a hint in one of the MANY loading screens, hold the wiimote sideways, but most people would do that naturally anyway. Been playing a bit more now and it's starting to get more fun! I had some tense matches with some german dude and it really came down to tactics and ball placement. I had a lot of winners myself but lost the match on unforced errors. It seems doubles on 4 wiis isn't possible though, the matchmaking service is pretty much identical to the one in Tiger Woods 2008 except that you can only have one person join. Maybe it's possible if you play with friends.
marcel Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) does anyone agree with me when i say that the wiimotion plus without the condom (attachted to the wiiremote) it more ugly then taking it out of the rubber? without the rubber i feel the remove button(s), and i kinda think that it will irritate me on the long run. Edited June 10, 2009 by marcel
yesteryeargames Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 mine is here i actually played grand slam last night without motion plus and that alone was pritty good control wise. off to test
Owen Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I got it! Practice does indeed make perfect! Off to play more, hopefully play some online matches later!
yesteryeargames Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 its good fun, motion plus is not perfected on this game tho i agree with the average 80% sort of scores, my online tag is ChrisOBGN add me
