Sorry, I did not see Tennis asa category in the Recommendations Thread, so asking here.

Bascially, what is the best Tennis game for the Wii, (besides Wii Sports)?

I want to get my girlfriend one for the Holidays, because she is upset we can't play any tennis in the winter months. The problem is, I don't see any tennis games online that got any good reviews! They all look pretty mediocre. The top two runners I saw were Mario Tennis (The GC game updated Wii version) and Grand Slam Tennis. But even those two don't look great - Mario Tennis is just a GC game with nothing extra and so-so controls, and Grand Slam looked like a steep learning curve for just a casual player.

She is a casual player if that helps. We just want a fun game to play two players, and maybe get a little bit of a workout. We have plenty of Motion Plusses too, no issue there.

Thanks,

Thanks, although I was thinking more of a full/just tennis game.

I thought Mario Tennis was excellent.

Then again, I'm not really interested in tennis as a sport.

Grand Slam Tennis is probably your best bet since its the highest rated tennis game on metacritic. Don't go by the GS review, if you read the customer reviews on sites like amazon the game looks pretty good.
