Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! includes much of what you might expect and have seen before, but there’s still plenty of flashy, colourful fun to be had. It all feels good to play, with the real standout coming from the large roster of Nick toons, new and old. It’s pretty great to see Rocko, CatDog, and Invader Zim dash around the courts and all with their own fully voice-acted on-court quips. It’s not the deepest or biggest arcade sports game available, but it’s a pretty fun time.

If you’re looking for a casual sports game crammed to the ceiling with familiar faces, you’re in luck! Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! is a pure tennis experience that performs its duty admirably. It just couldn’t get its hooks in me somehow.
