    Enjoying the game a lot thus far. Now, I am playing the game after the patch for the first time... so m comments are not based on anything prior to the patch. I'd rate this game a solid 7.5. The commentating is rather bad and no crowd noise is a miss. But I do like the gameplay and I have had a lot of great rallies.

    I wanted to wait a bit before writing a review for this game, in order to see if the studio was able to improve it... and they did! The game certainly is not TS 4 but it has its merit: the positioning, the timing, the fact that you (or the other player) can fault is very interesting. It is not a beautiful game as well, but I think it's correct.

    Let's reckon that the studio + publisher are not the biggest ones, and they still need to work on the game (still waiting for that multiplayer mode...) but the game is fun to play (especially with a friend) and at least they tried.    … Expand

    This is a game that is rough around the edges but with time and more polishing it an become the game we all excpeted, the core mechanicas are good and fun, the AI is unprediacble and offers varied playstyles and outcomes - I never "expect" the ai to do this or that.. I have to react as it comes, which to me is a breath of fresh air ... (except Legendary Federer needs a bit of tweaking) ItThis is a game that is rough around the edges but with time and more polishing it an become the game we all excpeted, the core mechanicas are good and fun, the AI is unprediacble and offers varied playstyles and outcomes - I never "expect" the ai to do this or that.. I have to react as it comes, which to me is a breath of fresh air ... (except Legendary Federer needs a bit of tweaking) It is often said a game should be easy to learn and difficult to master.. Tennis world tour makes its first mistake in being difficult to understand through lackluster skill games that dont explain the mechanics enough(although the good players dont want them revealing the very fine details which will give us the slight edge in a game of tennis, but this game rewards the diligent that are willing to learn how to actually master it

    This game IS the true successor to Topspin, It feels like topspin except with the above mentioned improved AI.

    The negatives
    - some additional shot animations needed, need more backhand and forehand styles.
    - Atmosphere and commentary - need more lines and improvment
    - Ball sounds, should be fixed in a patch theyre a bit flat
    - I think the Fatigue mechanic in the game should be reworked if not removed.
    - More pro players and legends
    - Immersive online ranking system and tournaments ( Apparently this is coming.. so holding judgement)

    If you can look past its flaws - which is has AT THE MOMENT, this game has promise and potential even if it has not yet fully delivered yet. I recommend BUY: for the patient, WAIT, for the impatient.    … Expand

    Improvement after the first patch, but game needs more patches, I think it was release too early but now the rest of the work needs to be put in - we need an online mode

    The best game about tennis at the moment. I don't know why everyone was so mean to her.

    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.
