Released to coincide with the Australian Open, the first major tennis tournament of the year, AO Tennis 2 offers an unprecedented level of depth and an extensive range of customization options for a tailor-made gameplay experience. In the brand-new narrative-driven career mode, you’ll be able to dominate the court, build your reputation, climb to the top and become a Tennis legend!
A solid, but still returnable, second serve that could use a little more mechanical tinkering.
AO Tennis 2 can be a hell of a lot of fun, but if you're easily annoyed by some inconsistent controls and a steep learning curve, you're better off avoiding this one.
I can definitively say the game has more positives than negatives and feels less raw than its predecessor, but it still isn’t as complete as other sports titles.
AO Tennis 2 is this generation's Top Spin 4. It takes over a baton that has been carried through mis-steps and let-downs as tennis fans young and old finally have a game worth their time and effort. It's not perfect by any stretch but up against the competition and its predecessor it stands head-and-shoulders above them.
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.
