    The best tennis game on current gen and the best tennis game since Top Spin 4. Gameplay wise it feels awesome, the only let down for this game is the lack of licensing for characters and stadiums.

This game is definitely a work in progress but definitely worth its downfalls for the overall gameolay Expand

    We don't see many tennis games right now, but AO Tennis 2 is a major improvement for AO Tennis 1. The gameplay is good, a lot of customization options and nice controls. A lack of licensing and some issues is something to be disappointing. But AO Tennis is a fun game for tennis fans.

    Alright, to all the people saying it's a bad tennis game... you just don't take the time to get good at it. At first I thought the same things as you, players are blasting shots past me, my balls are going out a lot e.t.c but once you actually get your timing better the game becomes extremely fun and addictive.

This is by far the greatest tennis game in the open era for people that are looking for realism and not some fast paced arcade game. Second thing for people saying the career mode is bad, again people saying this don't have any patience and they don't want to work they're way up the rankings WHICH IS LITERALLY WHAT TENNIS IS ABOUT. Anyways, don't listen to the people saying these bad reviews... they don't take time to learn the game, play it once and then say it's a bad game. The academy feature is also great! You can literally find any player from the community on there. Even players that are ranked outside of the top 500. Also you can find any venue in the world. Even Challengers! Expand

    I usually never give a game a 0, but this piece of crap is just unplayable. I played all tennis games there are out, but this, oh my, i dont believe i spent money on this. This game has to do with tennis, like Assassins creed is an ice hockey game... Ugly!

    The devs broke the game again and now Crareer Mode is unplayable. I wish I could get my money back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is SO SO disappointing. Do not buy. First I will start with the good. The community downloads for players and area as is cool. The hawk eye challenge system is cool. It ends there everything else is so faulty. The general movement is so unrealistic and doesn’t feel authentic to the players despite the fact they said it is . Very robotic . The sounds don’t help either, u can never hear slides on clay(because the game is so basic it doesn’t have slides ) but even on hard court you can’t hear the sound of squeaking on the surface like top spin 4(made in 2011 Expand

    The game has lots of depth in its features and career mode, I like the presentation

    However the actual gameplay isnt very good, I started off expecting to be not be the best, but even on amatuer difficulty your opponent always hits perfect shots while your shots always drift outside the lines My first game I hit 38 unforced errors, my opponent hit 2, I've played a lot of Tennis games

    My first game I hit 38 unforced errors, my opponent hit 2, I've played a lot of Tennis games over the years and never had as shoddy AI as that. So I have played 3 futures tournaments and lost 6 0, 6 0 each time, barely winning a point on the 2nd lowest difficulty due to my shots always going wide and my opponent never making a mistake, not enjoyable at all

    I dropped down to rookie the lowest difficulty and won every game 6 0, 6 0, you dont even have to try to time your shots, surely the developers could come up with a better difficulty scaling than this

    Es una pena porque el juego tiene cosas interesantes, buenos gráficos... pero la jugabilidad, que al final es lo importante, es horrorosa. No sientes que tengas el control del jugador en ningún momento.

    Decent tennis game, unfortunately there isn't not so much out there available for this sport.

    Literally the worst game ever. Player in career mode starts with almost no stats and you cant train him. You have to win to get money, but you cant win bc aiming doesnt work with a character who is a 43. **** game. Just glad i didnt pay for it. Psnow kinda blows these days tho.

    This game is shocking, the career details are good but the gameplay and mechanics are so so awful, top spin 4 which was made in 2011 on the last gen of consoles was ten times better. Don’t buy

    Do not purchase. The game has the least intuitive interface I’ve ever played, the player will routinely glitch out and miss a ball, it is beyond frustrating. I promise you, save your money.

    It's a good choice if you want to play tennis on a modern console. And tennis world tour 2 too.

    Probably the best Tennis game you can buy. Some minor issues but nothing which can make you rage too much.

    Graphics, animations, features, almost everything in this game is better than Twt2, but the most important thing and what I don't like is the aiming type, I can get 20 unforced errors in 2 sets because the ball is out, i can beat the expert level in top spin 4 and twt2, but I can't enjoy playing this game I hope it can be fixed again or given the choice of alternative aim types, Top spin 4Graphics, animations, features, almost everything in this game is better than Twt2, but the most important thing and what I don't like is the aiming type, I can get 20 unforced errors in 2 sets because the ball is out, i can beat the expert level in top spin 4 and twt2, but I can't enjoy playing this game I hope it can be fixed again or given the choice of alternative aim types, Top spin 4 is the best btw Expand

    Possibly the worst game I've ever played. The game is essentially unplayable due to the clunky mechanics i.e your player not returning the ball when it's there to be played. All players feel as if they're running through custard. The developer should be ashamed for releasing this absolute disgrace of a game: unless they were attempting to make the most frustrating game possible.

    Big Ant Studios did a decent job in bringing back the sport of Tennis in videogames. It may not be as polished and rich as legends of the past like Virtua Tennis and Top Spin, but it can guarantee lots of fun for you and your friends.

    AO Tennis 2 is a deep and rewarding simulation that offers much for the hardcore tennis fan. An initial difficulty wall will likely put a few players off, but for those that persist there is a rewarding and deep game of tennis to be found.

    Less polished than PS4’s big-money sporting contingent, AO2 nonetheless pleases thanks to user-friendly controls, cute details and a clever creation-sharing mechanic. [Issue#172, p.92]
