Just because AO Tennis 2 has some clear weaknesses, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a bad game. It may be missing some of the biggest names tennis have to offer, and it may feel a little sterile, but at the end of the day, it works as it should. If all you’re looking for is a current-gen tennis experience, it’ll do, even if you won’t be blown away by it.

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

A solid, but still returnable, second serve that could use a little more mechanical tinkering.

AO Tennis 2 is a Sports Simulation Game. Create a new Professional Tennis player, and take them to the courts. Building off of the first installations strengths and weaknesses, AO Tennis 2 provides an incredibly accurate game experience. Advancing in the game is a looping stride of training exercises and entering tournaments. The intermissions between matches are done as press conferences, where your character is assailed with questions about the future of their career, win or lose. The ball physics are amazing, and you can feel the difference on the different courts, as they are made with different materials. There is an insane amount of user-created content from the first game that you can import into your career mode if you so chose, these include players and courts. The action the players provide and the array of animations is fantastic, and the game feels genuine and smooth. With one exception. The assisted movement would sometimes leave me motionless or jogging the wrong way to chase after the ball, generating the only real frustration if felt with the game. That one issue cost me several matches and caused under aggravation at an otherwise fun and entertaining Sports Sim. Tennis fans Rejoice as this is likely going to take a while to top.

AO Tennis 2 is a bright, likeable tennis sim with bags of room to grow, and as it stands is easily the best tennis game of this generation.

While the original AO Tennis released in a horrendous state, the same isn’t true of AO Tennis 2. While there are some niggling issues here and there, they certainly don’t detract from the overall experience. As with the original — especially its AO International Tennis iteration — this is a title we’d recommend to fans of the sport.

Bugs and overpowered AI aside, a really good simulator-style tennis game. [Issue#187, p.91]

With some post-launch love to improve some of the more lacking areas, AO Tennis 2 could be a real winner. For now, though, it is likely a game that only dedicated tennis fans will truly enjoy.

AO Tennis 2 is a greatly improved second instalment to the franchise. Trying to overshoot your hits is a satisfying experience. Career mode is the best part of the game, building your character to be a dominant force and trying to get that world number 1 ranking and winning all 4 Grand Slams. If you are a tennis fan, I would recommend buying this game as you’re unlikely to be disappointed. It’s a shame more big tennis players didn’t put their name into the hat, but with the brilliant editor and the ability to publish your creations this can be overlooked.

AO Tennis 2 delivers a more enjoyable and comprehensive experience than the first episode but still suffers from technical and gameplay issues.
