Mario Tennis Open
After all of the coverage of Mario Tennis
Open we had online and in the e-magazine Family Friendly Gaming, I felt
it was important to close the book on this game with a review. So I
plopped down the forty dollars. Which to me is twice as much as I will
normally pay for a new game. I felt it was important for our readers to
get a review of this game online. I hope to have it in issue #62 of
Family Friendly Gaming. If not it will be arriving in issue #63 for
sure. I also felt it would be prudent to write up a preview of this
Nintendo 3DS hand held video game.
Mario Tennis Open is the first Nintendo 3DS game that I can play with
complete 3D on (full blast), and it feels natural. Moving the screen
around can be part of the game play which is more annoying than anything
else. The thing is I found my eyes usually stayed in line with the
screen. The other aspect of the 3D in Mario Tennis Open, is it does not
feel that deep. Another way of expressing this is - the 3D effects are
not impressing me.
The key to victory in Mario Tennis Open is getting in the right spots at
the right time. Which may seem like what tennis or any sport is about.
But with Mario Tennis Open it goes deeper than that. Getting into
certain circles grants the player some special powered up attack shot.
Going from circle to circle almost always provided me the point.
Likewise if the computer did it, and I could not, well I lost the point.
Which means Mario Tennis Open is not very deep. In fact I can understand
those that feel like their money was wasted on this hand held title.
The ESRB bestowed an 'E' for Everyone rating on Mario Tennis Open, with
no descriptors. The mini games are interesting and fun in Mario Tennis
Open. I do not feel this is the best Mario tennis game ever made, and my
review will elaborate on that.
