Tennis World Tour 2 Reviews
As it stands Tennis World Tour 2 has a chance to wear you out more than an actual game of tennis.
I’m pleased with how robust Tennis World Tour 2 is. It looks decent, its framerate is great, its controls have been completely revamped, and it’s chock-full of content. I may not have cared that much for its card system, nor have I enjoyed what they have done to its serve mechanics, but as a whole, this is a fantastic improvement over its predecessor. Right now, this is easily the best option if you want a tennis game on your current-gen console.
A missed opportunity to build upon the better elements of its predecessors, Tennis World Tour 2 is a frustrating experience that will leave players feeling like John McEnroe after a missed line call far too often.
Tennis World Tour 2 shows huge improvements over the original game, with satisfying gameplay and game modes. Some features, like the card system, might be debatable and it could have had better graphics, but this is definitely the right (re)start for a series aiming to become the new Top Spin.

Overall, I expect more from a tennis game than what’s included in Tennis World Tour 2. It should have tight, smooth controls and an extensive roster of professional tennis players. Most importantly, it should be an enjoyable experience. You should be hooked to your television. This game just makes me want to put down the controller and hit the tennis court instead.
Otherwise, if you’ve been looking for a new Tennis game to challenge yourselves and have already been through Big Ant Studios’ AO Tennis 2, Tennis World Tour 2 is a great place to look with hours of gameplay at the ready between the various modes and your potential golden career.
A very complete tennis game that has polished some of the problems of its previous installment and that above all is fun, challenging and with game modes that range from "play a game" to "I'm going to have the afternoon". What more do you want ask him?

Tennis World Tour 2 has its moments, the career mode can be good fun with creating your own star to tackle charity matches and tournaments to earn money for cosmetics and cards. You also can’t beat the feeling of playing as Nadal and going head to head with Federer. But be prepared to work hard to love this game and to get the most out of it. Nothing comes easy, and it may just make you wish for a game that seems no closer to coming to fruition.
This tennis simulator is complicated to learn it’s steep learning curve however, it does have solid content and a robust career mode. While there are some ATP players some importan tones are missing from the roster.

There were no high expectations when starting this, and it didn’t wow or blow me away. It delivered exactly what I thought it would; a fun, challenging and updated tennis experience. For lovers of the sport and genre, you will appreciate this much more than I ever will. I’m not willing to invest the time required to excel at this, but I still get to enjoy a well made title with some minor annoyances. Do I recommend you play this? I do, but to get the most out of it you must love tennis. If you want to own a copy for yourself, then it can be purchased here! It’s time to pick up that racket, create your player and become a ‘GOAT’.
After the bad and troubled experience with the first chapter, Tennis World Tour returns with a renewed style thanks to the work done by Big Ant Studios which, after the experiences with AO Tennis, are able to package a very good product even if not yet at the levels of the genre’s past great titles. The progresses are undoubtedly evident both from the gameplay side and from the technical point of view with the title being a good exponent of the genre, creating a solid base on which to work for the future of the brand.

Early impressions are poor and don’t really get any better from there. Tennis World Tour 2 – Complete Edition is a sterile, sluggish experience from start to finish, and has little in the way of reason to stick with it long-term. If you absolutely must play a tennis game, you might need to dig an older console out of the cupboard. Avoid.
Developer Big Ant Studios claim this is “the most comprehensive tennis experience” but sadly when it comes to gameplay it’s more Queens than Wimbledon.
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.
Tennis World Tour 2 starts by wanting to be the game of tennis, but ends up failing in some essential aspects, mainly that it makes reference to unite as several good ideas that it presents. It can be super fun to play with friends and watch them get desperate with the amount of balls thrown over the line, or make a career mode, but never too serious. Also to applaud the effort in the number of fields and athletes present in the game, only missing Novak Djokovic to complete the big 3 today. The sonority is what is expected in this type of games without a lot of variety but following the pace of the game well (where not even the groans of the players are missing).

We can only think with nostalgia of the amazing Top Spin series and the wonderful Virtua Tennis of previous generations.

When it comes to sports titles there's a tightrope to be walked between making the experience accessible and making it deep, with play ranging from pick-up-and-play arcade simplicity all the way up to a more complex and almost simulation-like feel...
Tennis World Tour 2 presents as a solid tennis simulation game. The additions to court mechanics add a level of depth that will take some time to master. Having court surfaces, weather, and ball freshness attribute to the pacing and difficulty of the bout is a stroke genius and a win for simulation lovers. The thing is, sports titles have gone in many different directions since their incarnation, whether that’s being made for pure pay-to-win monetization or simulation. While drastically different, they share in the fact each one is geared to a specific audience and thus the levels of ‘fun’ differ from person to person.
All in all, Tennis World Tour 2 marks a notable improvement over its predecessor. Though, admittedly, that's not saying too much when you consider just how poor it was. This seems like a franchise on the right track now but there's a long road ahead before it can match and compete with other top sporting videogames.
Average and too simple tennis game for undemanding players. Nothing more or less.
