AO Tennis 2 is a better-looking, smoother-playing and more fully-featured follow-up to the original.

As expected from Big Ant, AO Tennis 2 looks more like a big update of the previous version than a brand new episode, and once again largely relies on the community to complete the content. While still lacking some tennis expertise, the australian studio managed to optimize the gameplay, that finally shows its potential full of delicacy - in every sense of the word. The main additions focused on immersion emphasize this laudable quest for authenticity, although their rather limited impacts tend to exhibit the superficial side of this production, yet unfinished, but built on solid bases.

AO Tennis 2 is a good sports videogame that, despite a low budget, is really fun to play and includes a few, interesting features never seen before.

Tennis feeling, the physical feedback of the shots, the animations, everything is in place but the responsiveness that allows to move with more agility on the field is still missing. AO Tennis 2 remains a little rough, but its talent is crystal clear.

AO Tennis 2 is most certainly a great step in the right direction, with large improvements to animations, physics and general gameplay.

With stiff animations and a balls physics not so realistic, AO Tennis 2 fails to represents a good simulation of this noble sport. Top Spin 4 remains the king even after nine years from his debut.

AO Tennis 2 feels like a sports sim built first and foremost to correct its predecessor's mistakes, and that's a directive that pays off for tennis fans.

AO Tennis 2 is definitely a step up from the first game, but there’s still a lot that can be done to make the series a must-have for tennis fans, let alone sports fans.

AO Tennis 2 is a winner, raising the baseline for all tennis titles on PS4. There are still minor quirks to its gameplay, but it's well-presented and fun, making its enriched Career mode dangerously addictive.

AO Tennis 2 ends a massive drought for serious tennis players, and even as someone who prefers their tennis games a little more fun, there is certainly enjoyment to be had in this rough-around-the-edges offering.

AO Tennis 2 is a fairly powerful game both in its gameplay and in game modes. It has more than 20 licensed players and a fairly complete character editor, in addition to the official Australian Open license. Unfortunately its shortcomings and its low polished gameplay are quite noticeable. It is still a good game, in a genre where there is not much else to choose from.

In short, AO Tennis 2 isn’t for everyone. Some may complain about its difficulty, struggle with its mechanics and not enjoy the slower paced realistic approach to the sport. Others will love it. I fall in to the latter category and can firmly say that this is an ace! I award the game a Thumb Culture Gold Award!

While the original AO Tennis released in a horrendous state, the same isn’t true of AO Tennis 2.

AO Tennis 2 is a huge improvement on the original game and extremely close to being the perfect package. The lack of star players and unbalanced difficulty levels are the only things that hold it back from rivalling the best tennis games throughout history.

In my experience, AO Tennis 2 doesn’t do justice to tennis either, even though I wouldn’t exactly give tennis itself a glowing review.

Now AO Tennis series is in correct way. The previous installment was not a very good game but AO Tennis 2 absolutely worth buying if you like tennis. Licences are much better now and gameplay has improved as good as graphics.

AO Tennis 2 is one of those games that is neither good enough to deserve an applause nor bad enough to deserve harsh criticism. It's a tennis simulation with good gameplay, deep career mode, solid editor mode, weak animations, and not so good visuals, and some famous tennis players are not licensed as well. So in the end, it's hard to either recommend or not recommend it, as it really comes down to personal preferences rather the quality of the game.

AO Tennis 2 is a big step forward. This game isn't an ace yet, but it isn't the double fault AO International Tennis was. With lots of content and a decent gameplay core, AO Tennis 2 can be even funny for tennis fans.

Although it still stutters occasionally, AO Tennis 2 is the best available simulation of the sport and won’t have you smashing your racquet in frustration anywhere near as much as its predecessor.
