Video Game Reviews of New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis
Customer Review: Depends on your expectations
Summary: 4 Stars
So many reviews, here and elsewhere, compare this game to the GC version. We never had a GC, an XBox, PlayStation, or any other video game system before buying the Wii. We are in our 50's and have no kids (hence no grandkids). We enjoy Wii Sports. We got Mario Kart Racing and thought it was silly and fun. I bought Power Tennis because it seemed like more fun silliness.
If you take your video games seriously and/or typically spend hours at a time every day playing them, then this certainly will disappoint. As a way to have some fun for a short period a few times a week, not to mention be on your feet burning a few calories, this is a fun game. I'm sure the novelty will wear off, but by then we will have more than gotten our money's worth out of it, fun-wise.
Customer Review: Power Tennis

This is a really fun way to play video tennis. A wide variety of characters to choose from, each with their own personality and tennis ability. The graphics are fantastic and look great on a wide screen HD TV. The "play control" takes a little getting use to, but if you use full motions for each of the strokes you want to use it's much easier than trying abbreviated movements. The "power shot" is a bit much, and I prefer playing the game with it turned off. I guess I'm a tennis realist, per se, and want to win the point without the gimmicks. There are a wide variety of playing courts and court surfaces. The ball action appears to be true to form is you are playing on clay, grass, carpet or hard courts. You can also play a night game also. This game makes for fun play at parties also, getting doubles play going. I also like that you have the option of playing singles, instead of being stuck with two of you on the same side of the net playing pseudo doubles (since both of your Miis move at the same time even though you are doing a net shot or a ground stroke from the baseline. Highly recommend this game.Customer Review: More like whack-a-ball than real tennis
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got this game for my younger sister, and it is fun for people who like the Wii sports genre. However, the play control doesn't really allow for intense games of tennis. Unlike real tennis, as long as you do the swing correctly, the ball will go in the general direction of the person on the other side. The only way to mess up is to not time your swing correctly or end up on the other side of the court (both of which do happen frequently). I hadn't realized this initially, to I tried to twist the racket after my swing to give the ball some twist, but in the game this didn't do much. However, within these limits, the game can be pretty fun - but is more like a game of whack-a-ball than full-fledged tennis.Customer Review: Mario Tennis
