It has an over-reliance on grindey stats and single-use cards. You feel on the back foot for most of Tennis World Tour 2, both in its gameplay and upgrade systems. Too often my character was left wildly swinging in the proverbial dark hoping to catch a lucky break. This wouldn’t be a problem in a more arcadey title but the precise nature of swings here is betrayed by the hard-to-see ball. Oftentimes, the ball can be very hard to see.
This is, unfortunately, made a bit difficult by the visuals and lighting. This system takes a while to get used to but is one of World Tour 2’s best traits. As the returns get quicker, you swing just to stay alive longer than your opponent. You can charge up before each swing for extra power but this is only worth doing at slower game speeds. Too late or too early will result in misplays that could cost you a point – or even the game. Opposed to the more arcadey styles, this has you tap the swing button at the right time to get successful hits.
It has a challenging and rather interesting rhythm system to each swing. Ultimately, this title still falls significantly short of other, more impressive, sports games and doesn’t feel as if it is truly “next-gen.Let’s start with some of Tennis World Tour 2’s good points.
This was one of the major gripes with the game when it originally launched so it is good to see that it has been fixed, at least to some degree. Everything is sharper, with the tennis stars having a more realistic appearance this time around, and it's even easier to make out the ball as it zooms around the screen. The addition of ray tracing and a general improvement to the graphics of Tennis World Tour 2 does make the game look a bit better than it was last year.

It is difficult to notice any particular improvement in animations or general player movement, suggesting that the frame rate hasn’t been boosted compared to the older version of Tennis World Tour 2. The ability to play in 4K resolutions at 60 frames per second is not actually all that impressive, especially considering that earlier games in the series could reach those figures when played on the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. In terms of actual enhancements, fans might be a little disappointed with what is on offer. Now the studio is launching Tennis World Tour 2 - Complete Edition for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with the promise that it will smooth out the gameplay and improve the technical aspects of the sports game. Last year, publisher NACON and developer Big Ant Studios released Tennis World Tour 2 to a lackluster reception from most critics and fans. There’s been a real dearth of quality tennis games over the last few years, with players having very little choice.
