IGN: Family Tennis Review
Overall, the "Family" series of WiiWare releases from Aksys Games and Arc System Works is still performing under par — but, as a franchise, it’s getting a bit better recently. Family Slot Car Racing was a decent design, and now Family Tennis is also fairly worthwhile. It’s not extraordinary, and it’s also hard to justify spending five dollars on a simple motion-control tennis game when every Wii owner has a free one of those already courtesy of Wii Sports. But there are a few new ideas included here, making this design just one step up in complexity from that freebie (though still not as complicated as full-on retail releases like New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis).
