Tennis World Tour 2 - Complete Edition

There’s undeniably a strong foundation for Nacon and Big Ant to work from here, it just needs to spend more time in the motion capture studio refining the gameplay and presentation. It’s been a long wait for a good tennis game, but we have a legitimate contender to Top Spin 4’s crown at last.

There are likely many players out there who will welcome this level of complexity and challenge but I found it more tedious than fun and as such the game did not work for me. It was great to look at and does capture the experience of Tennis at a professional level; it just wraps much of the game in a cumbersome experience which is lacking in fun.

Graphically it’s still not going to wow players, and there’s still some work to be done on the animation and AI side if Tennis World Tour 3 ever comes to fruition, but Tennis World Tour 2 is at least now somewhat enjoyable. Throw in a considerable amount of extra content and next-gen consoles not only now have their first tennis game, but also one that’s worth considering.
