AO Tennis 2 Reviews
AO Tennis 2 presents itself as a realistic tennis simulation and on the Nintendo Switch, that's enough to stand out and set a high threshold. Unfortunately the overall experience turns out to be a disappointment. Despite a well-executed career mode and a helpful player creation tool, the gameplay in AO Tennis 2 feels disproportionately difficult, while its cast of players doesn't make much sense. Adding to that, its visual environment belongs to a previous time and its performance issues harm the experience even more. Players looking for a sharp and exquisite tennis simulation on the Switch will walk out disappointed.

There’s a genuinely brilliant game hidden away somewhere in AO Tennis 2, but you need to have the patience of a saint to put up with its horrendous frame rate issues and the impact they have on its already tricky stroke timing system.
A burnt child dreads the fire, as they say. The developers of AO Tennis risked and it paid off. AO Tennis 2 isn't a bad game and the bet on community content seems like the right one for a less expensive game. When you get over the initial feelings and the controls get under your skin, you'll get to enjoy AO Tennis 2.

Truth be told, AO Tennis 2 is not the best tennis game that I have ever played. It is, however, a solid attempt at a simulation-style sports game.
AO Tennis 2 can often feel like reaching Top Spin 4 levels of quality, but it still lacks on one of the most important ones: gameplay. Imprecise controls and an awful AI makes this game really hard to recommend.

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 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 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.
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 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.
Enter the competition if you want to beat some good tennis players. There are some improvements, but it is still not enough.

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 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 career mode and creation tools are the best parts of AO Tennis 2, but the gameplay struggles to keep up its end of the bargain
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 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.

With all its woes, AO Tennis 2 is still a vibrant and fun game to play.
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.

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.
Despite AO Tennis 2’s weaknesses, if you enjoy this sport and would like to experience a tennis player's career since the beginning and achieve various milestones, we recommend AO Tennis 2
