This game did a lot right, but it's unfortunately all undone by the game's main gimmick. Power Shots are awful. They regularly stop the flow of the game, they work as overly-easy counters to skillfully set-up shots, and their cutscenes are unskippable. I get that 2000s Nintendo had to always throw some new mechanics into whatever sequels they were making, but this one was a bad choice.

However, if you turn those Power Shots off (for the modes that allow you to do so), you'll find a really enjoyable Tennis game which is better than its predecessor in every way.
