I love the cover for Grand Slam Tennis. The Tiger Woods cover, on the other hand, is kind of freaky.
Both of these games are ones that I really want. I hope EA Sports puts out a lot more great games for the Wii.
The cover of Tiger Woods golf makes it look like the eponymous Tiger is receiving some serious form of gratification behind the logo.
@ Richter,
Thanks for that! I'm gonna have this picture in my home, and now whenever I see it, I'll have that unfortunate thought come to mind. Thanks for nothing.
Great news! I wonder how Tiger escaped from the stylized graphics all other EA Sports Wii games are receiving? Perhaps the fact it sells more in the Wii than any other platform makes EA uneasy to change anything.
Ah, my work here is done.
i wish they were selling grand slam tennis with wii motion plus in the US =(
Yeah, just look at Johnny Mac doing the funky chicken. What a cover.
Where's Rafael Nadal?
Forget freder… he isn't the best anymore :/
i keep wondering whether the casuals will care about wiimotion plus… is it really enough of a difference for them? i definitely have my doubts.
Well, every "casual" gamer I have seen playing wii sports tennis, tries to control the game in the way Grand Slam Tennis is supposed to be controlled (give direction to the ball, and such).
I wonder why they don't package Grand Slam + MotionPlus, I'd preorder that right away.
