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 quite an upgrade and a marked improvement from the previous game, with more features, a surprisingly deep career mode and refined gameplay that feels dynamic and engaging from point to point, especially once you’ve gotten used to the timing and flow. There are still some issues when it comes to the overall polish of the experience and the lack of licensed content overall that hold it back from being a total ace, but with minimal competition in this genre, AO Tennis 2 is an entertaining and fun tennis game that is easily the best of this generation.

AO Tennis 2 is this generation's Top Spin 4. It takes over a baton that has been carried through mis-steps and let-downs as tennis fans young and old finally have a game worth their time and effort. It's not perfect by any stretch but up against the competition and its predecessor it stands head-and-shoulders above them.

Play ending with one bounce is also quite a bummer, but I'm sure that's something that will be fixed if people have even noticed that. I also tired to play multiplayer at the time of review and the game would crash and close itself so it still needs to be patched a few times. The single player career experience is where it's at though. AO Tennis 2's solo campaign is a thoroughly enjoyable time and it's here where I would say that is scores an ace.

There’s not a great deal of competition out there when it comes to tennis games on current-gen consoles, but it’s safe to say AO Tennis 2 is one of the better options. If you can forgive its overly-long load times and mediocre graphics, it’ll provide you with plenty of options for a solid game of tennis

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.

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.

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.

AO Tennis is simply the best tennisgame we have seen in years. Although it looks nog that great, it offers a very solid gameplay and challenges. The game does not feel like an arcadegame, but challenges you with a strong AI. If only all the players were there.

Tennis is a tough sport, where every point is played in a cruel way and where every game is a battle, where every decision counts and where mistakes are paid expensive. And AO Tennis 2 is a true reflection of this battle.

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.

The game is rich in content and gameplay is solid and technical which sometimes can recreate the thrill of the real thing. however there are numerous issues that affected our enjoyment, the game felt like it needed some tuning, AI felt cheap, and some of the sport's biggest stars like Roger Federer are missing.

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.

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 can be a hell of a lot of fun, but if you're easily annoyed by some inconsistent controls and a steep learning curve, you're better off avoiding this one.
