Tennis World Tour 2 is an improvement over its predecessor, but it still doesn’t stand out in any way; The game is surface deep, feeling average at best and bland at worst; Die hard fans of the sport who really want a tennis game can have some fun here, but there just isn’t much here to hold your attention for long; If you’re really set on a great game of virtual tennis, I’d suggest booting up an old copy of Top Spin instead;

Tennis World Tour 2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, with a variety of modes and improved gameplay. The new engine has eliminated some bugs, but there is still room for improvement in graphics and technical performance. The linear progression of the career mode is satisfying, but the power-up cards could be improved. Overall, it is a decent tennis game that will satisfy fans of the sport.

Tennis World Tour 2: Complete Edition is a great next gen version of the original with crisper visuals, vastly superior load times and more things for the player to do. The MOCAP work could be a little better and perhaps some work is needed on the card system (or just scrap it altogether). Tennis World Tour 2 is one of the better tennis games I have played in a while, but it still needs a little work to take Top Spin’s crown.
