  • Summary: "Our goal was to create a game that is perfectly addictive in its focused simplicity, a game that showcases the true possibilities of a next gen experience, not just in looks but in feel and pace," stated Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "We wanted to use the power of the new hardware and the resolution of new televisions to give the game an immediacy, an intensity and a sense of physicality and reality, resulting in a purer, more visceral experience that simply was not possible previously." Houser continued, "It is a distillation of game design philosophy, focusing on removing the traditional areas of compromise inherent in managing size and scope and concentrating the hardware's entire power on one activity, with the aim of doing that better than it's ever been done before."

    Ultimately, it's a good version of a good game that originated on a very different platform — an even better game, really, just as Resident Evil 4 for Wii is the definitive version of an already excellent title.

    Still great fun. Looses out graphically but gains with interactivity. [Dec 2007, p.80]

    While the controls help to show a continuing evolution of how we use the Wii’s motion sensor technology, it falls far short of excellence thanks to an annoying timing glitch. All in all, you’ll have a good time with either version of this game that you pick up, but the 360 will present a more robust, challenging and rewarding experience.

    Sure, you see the box and you think, “if this is anything like Wii Sports tennis, it’ll be awesome!”, but trust me when I say this is nothing like Wii Sports Tennis. This is everything like every other crappy port the system has received – graphically inferior, feature-poor and suffering from controls that were originally meant for an analog stick but are now shoehorned uncomfortably into nonsensical hand gestures.

    Totally awesome game - especially against another human player. We have been playing it 24 hours solid and are risking RSI ! The controls take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of focus mode, the game transforms itself into a contest that you cannot put down.… Expand

    I was really looking forward to this so I feel very disappointed with what I got. first up, load times are disgracefully long,second there is a distinct lack of synchronisation between actions with the wii remote and actions of the character. Third are the graphics which, as the load times are so long I thought may be high end, but no, average at best. it could have been done on a game cube. Fourth was that the reviews praised the multiplayer and said that it was worth getting for this. Well, for me multiplayer made me feel like an idiot, standing up waiting for the game to load. To sum up I feel that port games for the wii have only brought mediocrity, whether its lazy coding or poor gameplay design. Please, please please give us some proper games built from the ground up for the Wii, don't try to rip us off with a quick fix to your programming problems. By the way exchanged it for Zelda phantom hourglass on the DS, now there's a game that kicks a*s.… Expand

    Horribly awful controls. The ball does not go where you intend it to, and the responsiveness to the wii remote is extremely poorly designed. Why can't companies spend a little more time on making games realistic? I had high hopes for this game, but it poorly delivered. There are only two options for playing the stupid game. This game had high potential, but Rockstar completely blew it.… Expand

    Awful. I still regret the spontaneous move of grabbing it when I saw it in the shop. Wiimote + table tannis + Rockstar - it should be great.

    Well, it isn't. The load times are long but I can live with them. But the control are horrible and have no relation to the on screen action. The point of the Wiimote is to mimick a realistick move, not assign butto presses to random gestures. Apart from the poor model, the delay between the move and the on screen action ruin what's left of the gameplay.

    The worst Wii purchase I've ever done.    … Expand
