Playing this with my kids and loving it. Easy and accessible for most ages

Tight controls, good mix up with variety of hits, and new mechanics with trick shots and special shots. Definitely adds another level of wit to your games of tennis. Simple matches can be played too without all the tricks and special pizzazz. This game definitely has its fair share of problems. Adventure mode is a bit barren, split screen can't be turned off for local multiplayer matches, and there lacks some flare with costumes or additional cinematic cut scenes. User interface exp is a bit below average with its weird stage select toggling. Hope there will be patches and DLC content in the future to fix all these issues. Online tourney is definitely good in this game. Matches are found pretty quick, but connection can be shotty at times depending on who you match up with. However, if your connection is good, nothing to worry about--otherwise you're back in the queue. Day 1 patch fixed up the lag found in the demo. Also, new ranking system incoming for more balanced match ups. If you're looking for more single player action, better off looking elsewhere, but if you want nice game play and good online multiplayer, Aces is the one.

The gameplay in Aces is excellent and very in-depth. However, there is very little in terms of single player content worth coming back to. The Adventure Mode is a let down, and there's not much besides that. The online multiplayer is where the meat of the game is, but even after that it still feels like it's missing something interesting. Definitely wait for a price drop or sale for this game, and make sure you find some friends to play with, because fighting people online can be ruthless.

This is one of those games that’s more fun to play with 3 or more people. The regular mode doesn’t require too much effort so don’t expect a huge mental reward after winning a match lol. The story mode is not what I expected, but is still fun. I really wanted it to be more of a novice to expert journey for whatever player I decided to pick, but it was more like watching your player run errands while randomly needing to blast “enemies” with tennis balls lol. Still cool though.

If you love tennis, and if you love Mario, this is the game for you! There are super fun trick shots, and playing against the computer and others via the web of both equally entertaining!

Amazing game! Once u get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun! Especially with friends~

It’s a fun tennis game to play with my kids. It was very easy to learn for everyone.

So, I bought this game for my two boys, they are 5 and 8 years old. As it turns out, my wife and I enjoyed it just as much as they did. Has that old school Mario Tennis feel, and new school obstacles and graphics. My wife loved it, until my 8 year old kept destroying her in the game. My wife is very competitive. That said, this is a great game for everyone to play. Great family fun.

Loved this game as a kid and this doesn't disappoint. Perfect to play with friends.

Decent Mario tennis game. Short single player. Great to play with friends.

Well worth it at the iur hase price - ky family from 4 to 40 is having a great time playing together! Easy to learn and super fun

Overall solid game. Single player lacks a little, but very fun against friends!

The story mode is fun even though it's pretty difficult and could have a little more. There's a leveling system which just automatically upgrades things for you. Some more customization would be nice or distinction between characters. There's still the different types of players but nothing special about them. For example, there's a power shot you can do when you charge up enough energy but everyone's is just you can return any shot and aim it where you want.

It’s just Tennis, but it’s a tough game. Nintendo recently updated the game to make a bit more user friendly. There were some shots next to impossible to get to. You have to master trick shots before going online or you’ll get crushed! Not worth 59 dollars! Gamers Club helps, which is why I bought it, but 39.99 would have been a much better price point. Wait for a sale.

We love mario tennis!! We play it all the time and so far only one of the controllers has been thrown and broken in a rage! We always have family game time once a week and so far this has been the least filled rage game. Mario party has torn the family apart but Mario tennis has brought us back together.

Great graphics when docked and portable. Split screen multiplayer when docked... there is no lag or glitchy screens when playing two-player that I have seen. I like that there is a story mode to the game, as opposed to a play-now-only type of sports game. You unlock more players and locations as you go along. One of my favorite games to relax and play.

Amazing game, great for family and friends. Easy to navigate

I was a big fan of the Mario Tennis games on N64 and GBC, especially the RPG elements of the latter. The single-player portion of this game really doesn't compare, functioning mostly as an extended tutorial with very minor RPG elements. That being said, multiplayer is great fun, especially if you're able to get some local doubles matches in. The online tournament modes will likely make or break enjoyment of this game for most people. Standard mode incorporates the energy gauge and trick shots. It wasn't very balanced for the first month after release, as Bowser Jr. could basically return anything at max charge and trick shots were easily spammable recovery moves, resulting in long drawn-out matches. I was ranked in the top 100 for most of this first month before dropping standard mode entirely as I grew tired of it. Nintendo patched the game last week to supposedly address both of the points mentioned above, so now may be the best time to try Standard tournaments. If you enjoy a simulation of regular tennis, Simple mode provides a more even experience (in my opinion at least). However, it is much easier to find a game in Standard, as I've had to wait several minutes before for matchmaking in Simple. Standard definitely has more of an arcade-y/fighting game feel to it, so I wouldn't recommend Simple mode if you don't enjoy tennis by itself. If you're able to try the game out and enjoy the gameplay mechanics for what they are, I think you'll find it worth your time. Nintendo seems to be willing to patch online multiplayer based on player feedback, which is a good sign. Hopefully this support continues after they've finished releasing all the characters.

This game has a fun online and local multiplayer, but has a very limited single player story mode.

This game my kiddos really begged for and I was surprised thinking it would be short lived and boring but nope after weeks, it is still captivating their attention and I am thankful, I got to use the bathroom alone, my wife had a shower with no one screaming at the door. This game is fun for kids and even more fun for adults. Definitely worth the purchase.
