It’s a familiar pattern: chaotic multiplayer fun let down by a bland adventure mode.

Mario Tennis Fever is the best Mario sports game in years thanks to the fun and flexible new Fever rackets that imbue the game with wild, game-changing effects.

Mario Tennis Fever is hardly a revolutionary entry, but it nails the series' most important element by offering a well-rounded experience with myriad ways for players of all skill levels to enjoy the game of tennis.

Great fun with friends, Mario's latest sports outing can't quite serve up the complete package

Mario Tennis Fever serves up my favourite game in the series thus far, by finding an addictive balance between Mario's madcap antics and real-world tennis fun. Streamlining superpowers into Fever rackets makes everything easier to parse, and keeping player movement relatively restrained makes for tennis matches that retain an exciting flow without constant slo-mo interruptions.The adventure mode is a letdown, and solo players don't have a ton of options, but there's depth and strategy at the core here that should see this one ace things online for some time to come.
