Mario Power Tennis review:5 stars (Mario sport games are fun but they need more) - Most people who buy sport games don't even play the sports. I've been playing tennis for like 5 years now.

Fred's Review:
10/10 Stars

Being a fan of the first Mario Tennis I was excited to hear that they were making a new one and bought it immediately after release. Games these days are getting easier!!!!!!!!!!If you were looking for the same challenge as was in the first one, this game is easier. Most people would find smashes very hard to reach against power players and their serves, but they lowered the "speed" of the balls making those out of reach balls possible to get. Smoother gameplay makes the games seem to go faster than those of the original game. Each person has their own defensive power and offensive power which can return out of reach balls or send your foes sprawling. I believe Nintendo will stop Mario Tennis games for a while and go over with the Mario Soccer and Baseball. New gimmick courts that have special themes that make the floor move, enemies that grab on to you and slow you down, sludge which also slows you down, and etc. Probably a must have game for 2005. New special games are tennis-themed mini-games that are great for multiplayer. Basically everything else is same. Also some new characters.2 stars (Brought to you by Nintendo Scam productions...) - There's not much to say about this title. Nintendo was hoping to make some money on any junk with the Mario name. The game is fun at first, but after a couple hours it gets repetitive and totally boring. NOTHING can save this title. Nintendo is trying to trick you with this junk. This whole Mario sports thing is dumb. Golf was the only good one. Guess what's coming next (really, I checked Nintendo's site). Mario soccer, Mario baseball, and (seriously!) Mario Dance Dance Revolution. Uggghhhh! There is only so much money Nintendo can make off Mario. Maybe if we boycott this game and the other Mario sports ones Nintendo will think about quality before cash. (Side note: Though NBA street V3 features 3 Mario characters it is by no means a Mario sports game. In fact, it is rather cool.5 stars (enjoyable, fun, challenging, everything you could want) - I love tennis. It's my favorite sport ever. I own a gamecube, and I was just dying for some company to make a game with real players like Federer and Roddick. However, this was the closest that I could find so I got it. I have to say, this game is great! You don't need any tennis skill at all to play this. The power-ups make the game fun and challenging. If you want a more vintage tennis feel, just turn the power-ups off, no problem. Each character has their strengths and weakeness which helps with the strategy part of the game.

This is my favorite mario game ever and once you get it, it'll be yours too. It gets you hooked from the minute you hit the first ball. Get it, it's amazing, challengng, fun, and just everything a game could have.
