User Reviews
Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! its queit fun on its core and have a few cool characters to play with around but other than that there isnt that much to offer from content wise but still if you care for unlocking everything the game have to offer you still need like 25-35 hours, its still fine game:
Pros:
+ 15 characters (the roster is fine for what is is and which franchises they put in)
+ 6 mini games (they are also used in story mode)
+ story is meant for each character have 5 matches with missions to do with isnt that bad
+ hard difficulty is fun overall the other ones are way to easy
+ tennis mechanics are soild and fun to play around
+ animations are ok but could be a bit better
+ costumes to use is not bad its neat to have
+ even there isnt much in story mode but the few voice lines are nice to have (also in match you have a few voice lines)
Cons:
- stages feel low only 6 (no garfield, fairly oddparents stage for example which is really dumb)
- soundtrack is ok but forgettable a bit
- there is an audio bug that can happend while playing story mode
- other than unlocking 1 costume, 1 bat of each characters and unlocking Angelica and Patrick there isnt any other meanful rewards anymore to unlock which is a shame. The tournement mode is like an artificially stretched content for you to unlock these silly crowns and uninteresting reclors of bats (and 100% achievements)
- there are few voice lines in the story mode but it isnt anything special specally if you dont know much about these characters (winning and point voice lines repeat a bit to much)
Game is pretty fun if i compare it to Sega Superstars Tennis or Loony Tunes Wacky World of Sports it goes right in the middle of them. As an game is cute emtpy and dont have that much content to offer if you not much into Nickelodeon then you should way for deep 75% sale atleast:
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! I bought the game to play with my kid. Game ran for about 20 minutes where I was able to play match or two with my kid. Then the game froze for like 15 seconds. I thought it was loading in or something. Then the game resumes, but the audio is completely off from what's happening in the game by like 3 to 4 seconds. So I restart the game. And now there's no audio. So I reinstall the game. Runs again for 10 minutes or so. And then it freezes completely where I had to restart my computer. After this, my kid got frustrated and didn't wanted to play. So our night was ruined. Out of curiosity, after restarting the pc, I started campaign to see if it will run. Now for some reason, game is running around 20FPS. I restarted the game, but didn't do anything. I have a pc that runs new games in high settings, native resolution at 60 + FPS. so this Piece of crap game have no reason to have this much problem! DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY, YOUR TIME, or anything with this POS.

Hard Mode is not beatable seem the AI can deflect everything this also means the 100% achievements can't be got without using sam picker.
just tried to beat the hard AI 3 times in a row and its designed to let the AI win 100% of the time by cheating.
the AI movement speed in hard mode also seems to be 50% faster then the players this means the AI can hit the ball 100% of the time regardless of anything and the AI seems to be able to hit the ball from anywhere on the court including standing outside the playable zone.
i have even gone on a 240 Hit combo vs Hard AI and still lost due to the AI deflecting my Smash Hit somehow.
there are 2 achievements in this game that are unobtainable due to the devs making the AI way to hard and giving the AI cheats in order to beat the player.
the Hard Mode achievements are unobtainable and this is just so unfair towards Achievement Hunters seem the game overall is fun for 1 hour then gets boring, the lack of voice acting is bad aswell.
this is one of the worst games i have ever played..
power ups should not last to the next round seem getting the Toy Challenges done is almost impossible on Normal mode and unobtainable on Hard Mode due to the AI winning 100% of the time due to cheats being turned on.
needing to do over 700 matches or 1200 matches is way to many for the lack of achievements this game has and the lack of voice acting aswell.
the game only has 1 piece of music playing on repeat that is really bad considering they could of used the music from the shows that are in the game.
all and all this game is fun for tennis but really bad with everything else.
this game does not need a Hard Mode
