A somewhat simplified version of earlier games of the series. There are some fun mini games and unlockables, but overall there's distinct a lack of content. And where is is the challenge?

Mario Tennis Open feels a bit lifeless at first, simply because it doesn't give any other incentive for playing than to keep unlocking things and to just play more tennis.

Seemingly average tennis arcade shows up as a perfectly playable and highly addictive, especially in multiplayer mode. [July 2012]

It’s not bad not bad Either it’s meh for me once u beat all cups in tournament mode and I hate you don’t get coins for doing Tournaments or quick matches you have to get them by doing special mode and some things u unlock are 2K coins and above and it has a meh roster to pick from

This is kind of a laughingstock to be honest. It has no cool mechanics and is boring to not have the different game modes of the previous games

Entertaining tennis action that proves both challenging and fun. Best played with friends. [July 2012, p.76]

For the first time in series history, Mario Tennis Open offers full online multiplayer – both singles and (impressively) doubles. It also has local wireless multiplayer. Based on my experience, both modes work smoothly. This isn't the tennis revolution that some might have hoped for, but it's a solid new feature in a franchise that's built its popularity on slow, incremental improvement.

This game is one best Mario Tennis game in while, hope other games get as good and better than this. Mario Tennis Open introduces Mii characters to play as finally adding customization.

The music was too cutesy and grating for my liking (a complaint I have with many Nintendo sports games), and I would have liked the option to be able to turn it off, but keep the sound effects of the match. Still, I would rate it as a good go-to game to pick up for short periods, like the bus ride to work. Just make sure your headphones are firmly plugged in first.

For better and for worse, Mario Tennis Open is clearly meant to be a very accessible console-style experience on a handheld. [May 2012, p.84]

There will rightfully be criticism for the slender single-player modes here, but the true worth of Mario Tennis Open is in multiplayer, both as the game's biggest strength and a quiet indicator of Nintendo's online handheld revolution.

Mario Tennis Open is a more pure tennis experience than it's predecessors, giving you a sense of control on the court. Unfortunately the game is still plagued with elements that leave you at the mercy of chance all too often.

I really really don't understand why this game has a such low score. The game is perfectly fine, what else did you expect from a game based on Tennis ? Such a game has a lot of boundaries. The NGC version was less fun with the super attacks u were able to use. It now comes all together to some good old tennis (like the N64 version) !! One DOWN side, but not enough to take one point out, is the incredibly bad way of connecting with friends over the internet. The rest is fine and easy to use !!!! Thanks Nintendo (and Camelot) !!

Título correcto y divertido de la saga de tenis de Mario y compañía. Hace un buen uso del 3D de la consola, la jugabilidad es buena y adictiva, tenemos un buen elenco de personajes a elegir y buenas modalidades de juego aunque se queda algo corto en cuanto al modo un jugador. La dificultad es ajustada y hay varios enfrentamientos que hacen sudar la gota gorda y los minijuegos que tiene son divertidos. Es un título correcto que podría ser mejor y tener más contenido pero prefirieron apostar por algo sencillo y cómodo.

If anything, Mario Tennis Open should be more majestic and fun than it already is. Instead, we just only get limited of that. The fun will just only come in the first 30 minutes. Same with the majestic.

Nice graphic, gameplay and sound. But the character roster is a bad joke. First Rosalina got replaced by a luma, and that's pretty ridiculous. Second, the terrible 'DLC'. These 'extra characters' are just re-textured characters like Metal Mario and tons of Yoshi recolors. There are also some problems with online multiplayer and so on. Okay for Mario/Tennis fans but a bad choice for players that search games with a GOOD character roster.
SummaryMario Tennis Open allows players to instantly jump into the multiplayer fun, locally or online, as theirr Mii or their favorite Mushroom Kingdom character.
