@cjl_33's review of Mario Tennis Aces
★★★
Played for a couple hours. The actual tennis gameplay is mostly fun, however, the single player "story" mode felt very gimmicky with different challenges and obstacles built into the court. Maybe I'm in the minority on this opinion but I much prefer the simpler more straightforward Mario Tennis games from the N64 and Wii. Granted those were mostly just see ball, hit ball type games they were still fun and Aces adds in the ability to purposely hit different types of shots (normal, flat, slice, drop, lob, etc...) which I think is enough innovation to prevent some from considering it just the same older game with a shinier coat of paint. Again, the pure tennis itself is enjoyable and I think with friends or family this game would be plenty of fun. There just wasn't enough of a hook from the single player perspective.
