Mario Tennis Aces isn't a terrible game, but is a forgettable one. Online doesn't work consistently, Adventure mode is pretty boring and uninspired, and there is a smattering of content. The game just lacks the heart that Nintendo titles have, and this leaves us with a bland and forgettable game that doesn't do anything interesting. It's not bad if you are just looking to get some friends or family together to play a few matches, but don't expect the appeal to last much further than that.

Mario Tennis Aces is a well-made, fast-paced, and fun tennis game, but it has some disappointing game modes and may not be all that engaging for solo players.

Mario Tennis Aces is a fine addition to the series and a far cry from the bare-bones offering from the Wii U. The single player mode offers up plenty for solo players while the online and local play will keep me coming back.

Mario Tennis Aces is great correction of mistakes after failed Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and better game than Mario Tennis Open. Despite the meager campaign, lack of mini-games and limited settings for matches, Mario Tennis is a great and complex multiplayer project that can deliver a lot of fun.

Mario Tennis Aces is probably the best episode of the series: easy to start, challenging for veterans, visually excellent and, above all, incredibly fun.

Mario Tennis Aces is one of the best Mario Tennis games, and well worth it for gamers that love to sit back with groups of friends. If you appreciate a good game of tennis with some whacky rules to spice it all up, you'll surely enjoy this.

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest multiplayer offering from Nintendo on Switch but is worth the price of admission?

It's-a back? Mario Tennis Aces on the Switch gets the series back on the right track after the less than stellar Ultra Smash for the Wii U. It admittedly has issues with balance and the campaign could be more fleshed out. Fun features, however, combined with solid base mechanics, a nice roster list and Nintendo's efforts to patch and address problems post-launch make Aces a worthy addition to Nintendo's tennis franchise. Series fans will definitely want to check it out.

A great return for one of the most beloved sports franchises. Mario Tennis Aces have a great single player mode and a functional online multiplayer mode.

Right from the start, Mario Tennis Aces, the eighth installment in the Mario Tennis series, feels inadequate.

"Mario Tennis Aces" is the first sports game since, well, "Mario Kart 8" that's captivated me.

Mario Tennis Aces doesn't quite excel in all of the ways that it could have, but the core mechanics and multiplayer action are so good, it's still worth diving in for some quality Mario Tennis action.

Mario Tennis Aces has fantastic gameplay held back by barebones content and not much customization. While the Adventure Mode is entertaining and full of unique challenges, the other modes are quite dull.

Mario Tennis Aces may have you bashing your head against the wall but Nintendo brings another great game to the Switch. Adventure Mode is a bit underwhelming; despite its infuriating difficulty spike, the story can be completed in just a few hours. Adventure Mode and COM Tournament mode are great precursors to the real highlight, the online tournaments. Going in, I did not think I'd be getting this incredibly enjoyable hyper-competitive experience. Playing people online is addicting giving you that “one more match” mentality that will keep you playing for hours. Mario Tennis Aces is the tennis game we've been waiting for.

Mario Tennis Aces is the best game in the Mario Tennis series to come out in this decade. While far from perfect, namely on the lack of gaming modes, there's plenty of new gameplay elements and multiplayer options that will leave its players very satisfied, not to mention some adventure elements that features some interesting ideas, even if they're not really deep.
