    I can't believe how terrible this is. Awful physics, clunky animations, players not responding to commands correctly, bugs, crashes, not a sim not arcade... You will get frustrated. Frustrated because there are some cool things, like community sharing, logo / stadium editor, endless tools to create your tennis player and a bunch of tournaments in career mode.

    This game is downright horrible. There is zero variety, the animation is very cringe, and there are many bugs and crashes. The only ok thing is the customization but even then it’s so limited. Only play if you are insane or have no life.

    Most of the reviewers are spot on with their arguments. AO Tennis, or AO International Tennis now, is a huge mess. The build up to the initial AO Tennis release already went too far. The promise of ten years of data tracking became major bull when the first gameplay became available to watch on youtube. But the worst thing was the lack of any gameplay prior to the release of the game. ItMost of the reviewers are spot on with their arguments. AO Tennis, or AO International Tennis now, is a huge mess. The build up to the initial AO Tennis release already went too far. The promise of ten years of data tracking became major bull when the first gameplay became available to watch on youtube. But the worst thing was the lack of any gameplay prior to the release of the game. It made buyers all over the world suspecious, and unfortunately all our worst dreams came true. As tennis fans (and players), you have an eye for the little details that make tennis authentic and real. The movements, the player ID, it's all off. Leg movement transitioning into a swing is way off, and the ball trajectory is absolutely ridiculous. I'll give this a 2 because Big Ant did try really hard to make it better. But this should have never seen the light of day. Hopefully, seeing as Tennis World Tour doesn't look all too promising either, some company will step up and do us tennis fans justice somewhat..… Expand

    I made an account because I got duped by the user reviews. These 10's and positive reviews have to be the game developers trying to scam people like me.

    I bought this game because of the many 10's the users gave. But the game does not reflect their reviews.

    Don't be deceived by the planetcricket.net fanboys like Biggsy (who is actually employed by Big Ant to beta test their games). This game is a disaster. The core mechanics are a horrible representation of the game of tennis. The customisation is good, but without proper core mechanics and a control interface that is easy to use then its as good as worthless as a simulation.

    This is one of the worst tennis games ever! Why release a game of Tennis when you can't even play a good match of tennis. I hope TWT is way better as this piece of crap won't even keep me satisfied until that tennis game releases

    This game is the worst game I’ve ever played. I would really be skeptical of these high rated reviews on here because there is no way. I played topspin religiously and for the life of me I could not figure out how to play this game. The gameplay is not fluid and the mechanics are broken. The AI is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The game doesn’t teach you anything. If you’re looking toThis game is the worst game I’ve ever played. I would really be skeptical of these high rated reviews on here because there is no way.

If you’re into customizing and stuff, I wouldn’t know why you’d want to do that in a tennis game. Seriously DO NOT buy this game. It is the worst money I’ve ever spent on a video game or on anything for that matter. What a rip off… Expand

    A more-than-passable first effort from a studio more famous for its cricketing output - yet presentation and longevity issues make it less excellent, more AO-K. [Issue#150, p.91]

    AO International Tennis is like the guy that has the best clothes and racquets but when it comes to playing he does not hit a ball. Even though its foundations are great, the experience is ruined by its awful gameplay and physics with poor graphics.

    AO International Tennis has an addictive ball hit system, but it lacks of depth on any other aspect. Poor game modes, limited competitions, total absence of commentators between points and an editor with few options to customize your player. Big Ant Studios tries hard, but that´s not enough to save their tennis simulator from mediocrity. And it´s a shame. This International should have been an update of the previous AO Tennis, instead of a new title. Tennis fans must keep waiting for a revolutionary title.
