This game lives up to the excellent gameplay that has always been apparent in the Mario tennis games.
First of all lets start with the graphics. In all the mario tennis games the first thing to nottice is the innovative gameplay but few take into consideration that the more gameplay a designer puts in less emphasis on the integrity of the graphics. For a gba game this is well over the bench mark for average graphics. The player composition looks very well and it is easy to decern the differences between players. The thing that caught my attention the most is the power shot graphics. When you get the better power shots (PS) like shooting star save, rainbow save, shark save, summoner's shot, sonic shot the animation and graphics are very appealing. The entire game graphic wise is well up to date.
Ok i'm not much of a music guy but i suppose i like to listen to video game's soundtracks. SO lets review. The sound on this game is not bad by any means and the area your in can be identified by hearing the tune of the music. The match music is well composed the game lacks that something that sets its music apart from other game's.
Ok all i got is good for the gameplay. The tennis basics are done very well as they have been in other mario tennis games. The matches are very easy to learn but when you want challenge yourself you can raise the computer level. The link cable can also be used to put the smackdown on your friends when you feel the need to. I may add that nintendo stepped up to the plate with the power shot format. You can pick a power shot according to your playing style whether you want a super fast slam shot or a wily curving shot or a distracting shot with devastating effects.The minigames to get the power shots are very fun and can be replayed to get better power shots or for enjoyment. The gameplay is well over par for a gba game.
Overall is my thought of the games value and wheter you should buy it leave it alone or rent it or do whatever with it. This game impressed more than i thought it would i highly recommend buying this game because it has good gameplay and is great when your on the go and bored with staring at the wall. GO BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
