    Tennis World Tour 2 is a great new beginning, an unexpected glimmer of hope for the future of a sport for too long away from the limelight of the videogame market.

    Tennis World Tour 2 may look like a simple update, but proves to be a really deep overhaul, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. That translates into a much punchier feel with a more authentic rendering overall, thanks to a subtle management of timing and faults. While some lingering assistance still generates imprecision, filling such loopholes surely belongs to Big Ant's work. The Australian studio thus shaped the best tennis simulation on current consoles at least, because of far more experienced competitors on PC. Hence Nacon can develop legitimate eSports ambitions, as long as it stands away from balance or greedy issues through an artificial cards system for instance.

    Tennis World Tour 2 puts the series on the right track while still offering us the most successful gameplay of its kind on consoles.

    Tennis World Tour 2 isn’t necessarily the most robust or enticing offering when it comes to tennis games, but it’s one of the only simulation games out there. If you’re a die-hard tennis fan, it’s worth a shot to see if it can keep your attention. But casual fans should consider looking elsewhere.

    Tennis fans are so limited these days, and Tennis World Tour 2 does not deliver enough to consider it a great game. Too many graphical glitches, inconsistencies across the board in terms of gameplay and the wider matchday details, copy-pasted player physiques and complete lack of personalised shots, a shoehorned mid-match card feature that only distracts - oh, and locking major tournaments and courts behind day one DLC are just some of the reasons Big Ant Studios double faults with this one. With more time, care, and no doubt a bigger budget, something decent could arise, because the makings are there, but patches might not be enough, and focus now might be better spent on a hopeful third game.

    Tennis World Tour 2 offers some changes and improvements to the original game, as well as a bunch of licenses for pro players. However, the gameplay core is still rooted in the original game and fails to offer a satisfying experience. Tennis World Tour completes the double fault initiated in 2018.

    Tennis World Tour 2 tries to copy the look and feel of other sports titles but ends up feeling lazy. There is no reason for its character creator, or the career mode, to be as shallow as they are. It also doesn't make sense to lock players into a single control scheme that causes problems, and the ball being hard to see in a game that is all about hitting it back and forth with accuracy is a huge misstep. This game could have been so much more, but Tennis World Tour 2 ends up being a disappointment, first and foremost.

    Such an improvement on the previous game. Gameplay, presentation and the look of the game is much better!

I'm using the "Very Easy" difficulty level and am now able to play long rallies and be competitive, something that seemed impossible before the latest update. It took me several games to finally realize how to return my opponents' shots by aiming far to the left or right, hitting lines for winners. This game has evolved from incredibly frustrating to lots of fun. The only issue, very minor, that I encountered today is right-handed players are left-handed in the scenes shown just before serving.

Can’t seem to play as Djokovic but….I’m not complaining ;-)

    The gameplay takes time to learn. Even after finishing the tutorial. Some blame the controls, and whilst I did get an input delay issue with one match, it doesn’t seem to affect too much. People might not realise but you need to understand how to play-it’s hard to hit down the line - you’re not going to do that all the time and if it’s not a winner you’re potentially getting yourself into trouble. Aces do seem a little hard to score though!

    I am very disappointed. The gameplay just sucks. The players play like they are Roger Federer in his prime. Even in the 'Normal' mode, it's outrageous.

    The graphics are not terrible, though.

    The positive:
    - Challenging and rewarding timing base gameplay.
    - For once in a tennis video game, players hold their racket like they should
    The positive:
    - Challenging and rewarding timing base gameplay.
    - For once in a tennis video game, players hold their racket like they should (eg. eastern grip for forehand) and in the majority of situation, the swing movements are realistics. Don't get me wrong, there is no variety or specific player animation (appart from Nadal)...but it does look like real life tennis at least.

    The Negative:
    - Unresponsive player movement. Basically, the AI moves for you, sometimes, making strange decision, like going forward to force you to play a half volley, leaving you completely vulnerable in the middle of the court. Often, players don't even try to reach the ball. Going to the net is too hard. There should be a shoulder button (L1 for ex.) to force your player to play a net approach by going forward and playing his shot at the same time.

    - Some shots still don't match the input. I'm guessing because the animation were juste never created. You won't be able to enjoy finishing the point with a big forehand swing when the ball is over your shoulder. It doesn't matter if you press the flat or the lift button, your player will always do a lame slice forehand, even if you hit with the perfect timing.

    - In career mode, character creation and progression is uncommonly bad. Every new created player have the same starting stats and each time you level up, you have only 3 attributes you can improve (defense / attack / precision). Why can't I create a serve & volley type of player with a weak forehand like stefan Edberg? For me, it just kills any incentive you might have to do a second playthrough.

    - The cards system is not compatible with a simulation. Worst idea ever. On the same level of crazyness, the boosts the different rackets give you are completely unrealistics.

    - Edit: card system is actually broken atm. Sometimes, small effects will stack in the weirdest way making you either a superman serving at 250km/h or a total loser incapable of hitting the ball. I'm level 14 and it happened already in 3 matches. Hence, my note changed from 6 to 4.

    In conclusion, don't expect top spin 4 quality here, it is clearly still a work in progress. Wait for patches or for the next tennis game.
