Throughout points the lack of atmosphere is disappointing, something tennis games have never got right. It’s nice that crowds respond sooner after points are won, but you can’t help but feel it should be more responsive as there’s still somewhat of a noticeable gap between the point ending and the reaction. Sound is sadly not up to the same standard as the visuals. These are a bit hit and miss, but thankfully you can still tell who the player is meant to be even when they don’t look anywhere as accurate as they should. The visual issues start with the player models.

The game won’t make you drool like big budget sports games such as FIFA 21 or NBA 2K21, but It looks clean and for the most part the stadiums hold their own. ( Not too many customizable options here)Įntering a match for the first time you can immediately visually tell this is Tennis World Tour and not AO Tennis just from the art style. It’s nothing we haven’t seen before, but if you’re looking to rise your virtual self to the top of the tennis rankings it will probably satisfy your needs. You choose what events to play and who to coach you for additional perks to your player. Once I was done creating my player, I started my career and found it to just be a typical by the books sports game career mode–your goal is to rise up the rankings and win the biggest events. It’s nice to have so many options with those, but where it was seriously needed is in groundstrokes and service motions, the heart of the gameplay.

This is made even stranger as there are a whole bunch of return stances (unique to each professional player in the game) and ten ball bouncing stances.

Further into it, I was surprised at how limited play animations there were for my player–just three for groundstrokes and the serve. You get a set of preset faces and then the option to customize certain features from further presets. It’s a shame that these aren’t available in the regular edition, but at least players who are keen on such content are given the option to have it.Įntering the career mode, the first thing I noticed was that customization wasn’t exactly great. If you do want authenticity you have to buy the Ace Edition version of the game or the annual pass, which contains the three main courts at Roland Garros alongside the centre courts at the Madrid and Halle Opens, with more to come.

Moving onto stadiums, the base game only contains unlicensed courts, with some loosely based off real ones. The only real downside is that only 11 of the players available are women, leaving a predominantly ATP Tour based roster. In total, 36 pros with an additional two legends, Gustavo Kuerten and Marat Safin, are available in the legends pack. Looking into the professional roster, it’s by far the best ever seen in a tennis video game, from the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, all the way down to young up and comers such as Jannik Sinner and Cori Gauff. Going through the menus there’s typical modes seen in most tennis games: exhibition, career, tournament, tennis school, and online. It’s something so small in the grand scheme of things, but given the first game had horrible ugly menus with the rest of the game somehow even being even worse, it was nice to have a positive impression of the sequel right away–something that just screamed out: “I’m not like my predecessor!” As soon as I started up the game the first thing I immediately noticed was how polished the menus and UI are–beautiful, slick, and loading times as fast as Isner’s serve.
