    A rough one so far. Aside from the game being a bit better than AO Tennis, there are too many problems with it´s gameplay. The mechanics seem buggy and glitches are all over the place . The positive thing is, the potential is there. With the correct after marketing, this game could be somewhat of a worthy successor to the Top Spin series.

With the correct after marketing, this game could be somewhat of a worthy successor to the Top Spin series. However, don´t expect that to happen within the next couple of days. The devs have promised a big patch to come out, and hopefully it will fix majority of the issues. The movement has potential, the volleys look pretty good in terms of animation and the forehand and backhand grips are mostly correct. I understand why reviewers are holding off untill the patch releases to pass judgement. Expand

    Finally a tennis game for PS4. Does this feel like a complete game, no. Does it need a number of patches, yes. Are the ground strokes there, yes. I want more of everything, but there is a basis to build on. It is a solid first try and could be a great game given time and resources. Lots of them.

    I have played this game for 3 days now and I have lot of mixed feelings. First of all , pre-ordering the legends edition and playing this game on launch-date I was really REALLY disappointed. The game in general does not feel like a finished product. OK, there is still no first day patch , but there is just to much lacking to be fixed with a fix. The audio is really bad . Gameplay audioI have played this game for 3 days now and I have lot of mixed feelings. First of all , pre-ordering the legends edition and playing this game on launch-date I was really REALLY disappointed. The game in general does not feel like a finished product. OK, there is still no first day patch , but there is just to much lacking to be fixed with a fix. The audio is really bad . Gameplay audio is OK but the audience and commentary are just to shallow . Lot of points you don't hear any audience . John McEnroe keeps repeating a handful of remarks, it does not feel like somebody is commenting a real match.
    When you have a LET during a serve you don't hear anything . This is strange because all the other calls are there.

    The graphics are a real letdown... I looked up the top spin 4 streams on the PS3 and I am sad to say that that game looks way better. Sony should be ashamed to release this content for people who have bought the PS4 Pro and a 4K screen. I was playing God Of War before this and when I saw the first graphics it looked like I was playing a Dreamcast game. The animations look a bit goofy when you are walking / running. textures are really shallow. Animations of the crowd are really strange. I was playing a tiebreak and when my opponent was serving the audience was still clapping from the previous point.

    Careermode is OK when you look at the level system and the ability to level up your player. You can use several coaches and agents to earn specific boosts. But compared to other sports games it looks again really shallow. For instance , when I play fifa18 " The Journey " you have a socialmedia system which gives you feedback on your peformances. In this game there is nothing except your Ranking that gives you feedback on your performances. Again , to shallow for a game lke this.

    The player roster is also lacking major big players. With the Legend edition I got Federer , Agassi and Mcenroe. Where is Djokovic !? Ok , I will probably get additional players on the longrun but still , You want to play as Nadal as you play Federer am I right ?

    So why not give this game a 1 or 2 like many other users ? Because if you play the game you will get some long rally's that will still get you that Top Spin feeling. I still enjoy myself when I play this game. It makes you realise what could have been ! Hopefully there will be a major patch really soon , but it cannot fix all the things that are wrong in this game.

    I will NEVER pre-order a game ever again !!

    Buy this game in maybe a few months in the PSN Store when it's like 19 euro's or something and you have all the DLC and patches. For now , stay away from this title ...

    Best PS4 Tennis Game for sure:

    While the game is not as good as Top Spin 4, the game is much better than AO International Tennis, and in general the game is fine. The gameplay is good, although it sometimes feel too slow. The Player Roster is good if you look on the ATP Site, apart from Nadal, Djokovic, Cilic, Del Potro, Murray not featuring, 24 other ATP player, including, Monfils,

    The career is user freindly, and helps you getting a good start with the game. While the game really needs a patch atm, to sort out things like the crowd being almost silent, and the missing feature to change career mode match difficulty, the game is the best tennis game you can get so far for PS4.

    I know I will get hate for this comment, but hey, it's a tennis game. I love playing the actual sport, but on a rainy day, this game does just fine...

    I think you're better off getting Top Spin or Virtua Tennis as this game is not as good

    Maybe one day the developer will have the opportunity to show us a completed idea, but based on the current build, Tennis World Tour is disappointing.

    As big a letdown as Tim Henman's efforts at Wimbledon, it does a huge disservice to Top Spin's legacy. No amount of Pimm's should sanction you buying this. [Issue#151, p.96]

    After all these years of waiting, tennis fans deserved something better than this shallow and buggy pseudo-realistic sport experience.
