Do you love playing tennis video games? Do you like the different characters in the Mario game series? Then this game is definitely worth a shot! This game allows you to play as the Mario cast and the graphics are better than average for other Gameboy Advance games which I have played.

Graphics: 9 Unlike other games for this console Mario Tennis Power Tour actually has pretty decent graphics. Now just a reminder this game is for the Gameboy Advance so if you want the most amazing graphics then you should not be playing any games on this console. You could use special moves which all look pretty neat depending on what character you’re using. Also the actual game play when you’re not in a tennis match still has decent graphics. So compared to other games for this console this game for its graphics definitely deserve a 9 rating.

Sound: 8 Usually I never play through games like this one with the sound on however; I found the soundtrack for this game to not be that bad. So I gave the sound for this game an 8 just because it did not give me a headache and also because in some points of the game I enjoyed keeping the volume up.

Addictiveness: 9 This game is very addicting but could get very repetitive very fast. I personally have played through this game a total of four times and by the second and third run through I had to finish it in a span of a few days just because of how repetitive it gets. The whole story is your character and its partner playing a bunch of matches against different opponents both in singles and doubles and there are a lot of matches to be played. So for Addictiveness I give this game a rating of 9 just because every so often I like coming back and playing this game and I always enjoy each play through.

Story: 8 So the story is pretty much about you (main character 1) and your partner (main character 2) trying to become the best tennis players in the school. You start out in the worst class (beginners class) and you work your way up. After both you and your partner become the best singles and doubles players in the school you then attend a tournament. The story is not bad but personally I have no idea who could make a great story for a Mario/tennis crossover so I am rating this game’s story an 8 for effort.

Depth: 4 Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. The map is incredibly small and all you’re doing is going from the bottom class to the best players of the school. So the depth of this game I give a 4 just because some parts were longer than others but overall it was not that great.

Difficulty: 7 This game could get to a hard difficulty later on in the game but you get used to playing against harder opponents after a while. So I give this game’s difficulty a 7 if you’re playing this for the first time. Overall: 8.5 This game is a lot of fun even if you just want to play something for an hour. It may be repetitive but it is very addictive and its graphics and sound are a little better than average.
