    It's hard to fault a game with so much love put into it, but AO Tennis 2 constantly feels like its missing something. A little extra oomph that would bring people back. Mario Tennis Aces has the cast of characters, the charm, and special moves. Wii Sports' Tennis had the motion, the so-easy-your-grandma-could-do-it gameplay. AO Tennis 2 is just tennis, made like a simulation complete with a headache inducing soft-rock soundtrack. Stripped of all its charm, the game doesn't offer anything except to the average Australian Open attendee. To everyone else... you might as well play Pong.

    It would be unfair to single out AO Tennis 2 for replicating the banality of tennis when every sports ’em up has the same conceptual flaw.

The editor tools are excellent and flexible, huge amount of fantastic community created content including players, venues and even logos. Every time i win a point after a long intense rally, the sense of accomplishment is astounding. A wave of satisfaction washing over me with every swing of the racquet. The sound and atmosphere adds to this oddly satisfactory and addicting feeling with every ball impact. I am truly ecstatic and hooked on the career mode. The reputation system definitely adds a little spiciness to every match. A truly pleasant sequel, much recommended.… Full Review »

There are still a couple of things the developers can improveWhile there are a few hiccups, AO Tennis 2 feels like a fairly good tennis game. There are still a couple of things the developers can improve on, like tightening up the controls to finally hit that perfect balance, but as is, it certainly scratches that itch for tennis. The other slightly glaring issue is how there aren’t really that many “real life” tennis players here.

    That isn’t to say the real-life Australian Open has any particular stipulations in registration and participation, but when you can have about 128 players in the virtual Open and only 25 of them are real life figures (12 men and 13 women), it feels like there isn’t much variety in actual real-life participants. But at least you have Rafael Nadal, so if you like watching him in action, you can enjoy using him.    … Full Review »

    I'm playing Career mode. The game is too hard to play. Harder to play than previous tennis games. I feel very sorry for the money I bought.
