Mario Tennis looks back to its glory with this fun - if a little fuzzy and fiddly - take on tennis.

Probably the best Mario Tennis game since the N64 era, but the trick shots can still frustrate and the story campaign is a disappointment.

A bizarre coming together of Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis that strangely works, even if the Adventure mode occasionally frustrates.

The core arcade tennis is fun, and collecting rackets and leveling up Mario's tennis abilities through the campaign is a worthwhile endeavor, even if a few difficulty spikes hurt the pace

Aces is the most complex and Mario Tennis game yet, but its online modes are missing some key features.

The options to play how you want demonstrate how Nintendo remains one of the industry's leaders at making games for everybody — even when that game isn't the one some of us originally wanted.

The characters, both new and old, feel much more distinctive than the usual "big, medium, small" classes that seem to follow other Mario sports games and even Mario Kart.

Fundamentally Mario Aces Tennis gets things right much more often than it gets them wrong.

Mario Tennis Aces has a chance at being a great game down the road. Right now, it's simply good. The gameplay is as addictive as ever and the Adventure Mode is a great way to educate people on the ins and outs of Mario Tennis. It's just missing features that, while small, make a world of difference when it comes to the longevity of the game. I want to play Aces for the rest of the Switch lifecycle, but right now it's not giving me much of a reason to keep booting it up.

Mario Tennis Aces has some of the best gameplay mechanics that we have ever seen in a tennis game. It's fun, balanced and fair, making this game a potential multiplayer success. However, the lack of single player content and a dedicated competitive system makes this launch kind of incomplete.

Without any doubt, this is one of the best installments of the Mario Tennis series. Not only for the number of game modes it offers, but by of its addictive gameplay. Mario Tennis Aces is a must-buy for Nintendo Switch owners.

Mario Tennis Aces looks and performs as well as anything you'd expect from the House of 'Tache, but its family friendly appearance disguises a brutally difficult single player experience that will surely alienate younger players.

It's the best the series has seen in years, and that's saying something for this tennis fan. If you're looking for one of the best sports games the Switch has to offer, look no further. You've found it.

Buy it if you're looking for deep, twitchy multiplayer action. Try it if you'll be sticking to single player.

A game that is almost great but manages to forget everything about the details to become a masterpiece. Mario Tennis Aces could have been much better with a ton more of possibilities, but as it is is a great game to play with friends.

Mario Tennis Aces looks fine and plays even better. But its single player story mode is a real disappointment.

Mario Tennis Aces will provide you and your friends with a really good time, provided you don't spend too long in the story mode.

Mario Tennis Aces is a good tennis game let down by an Adventure Mode that often feels as though it's cheating you.

Few online games have clicked with me as quickly as Mario Tennis Aces, and I expect it'll end up on my top 10 at the end of 2018.
