At the end of the day Tennis World Tour isn’t a complete failure and it does provide you with some enjoyable moments from time to time, but in the end it just has too many problems at this stage. The sound design whilst also good needs a little more variety as well because it can get a bit tedious hearing the same commentary over and over again. Visually the game can look decent at times and if more variety was placed into the courts it would be even better. Thankfully though the presentation side of the game is not too bad. The content also needs more polish in certain areas as well because at times it does play a little rough. In terms of content the game has a decent amount for you to get to grips with, but it does need some more. The AI plays shots that don’t look real at times and this is not only frustrating but it also harms the immersion levels as well. You will however have to put up with some unrealistic behaviour from the AI though along the way. I however found the challenge to be pretty decent and when you finally win a tournament or beat a top player you do get a great sense of achievement. I can see some people being put off by the game’s difficulty because it can be a pain to finish off and win a game, especially against the top players. There is also a problem with the hit detection as well and sometimes my player just completely left the ball and this was infuriating to say the least. Unfortunately though you can’t trully enjoy the players available to you because the controls don’t always remain responsive and sometimes you end up playing shots that you never went for which can be very frustrating.
Playing as them can be quite fun and they’ve done a good job of including each player’s quirks and mannerisms, which is great.
It does however get a few things right and I especially found that to be the case with the licensed player’s that are available to you. It does do a bit better than AO International Tennis but this game is far from being a masterpiece and it does suffer with quite a few shortcomings, which ultimately hold the game back. Unfortunately AO International Tennis failed to hit the mark in several areas so I was hoping that Tennis World Tour would do a bit better. We haven’t had many tennis games in recent year’s so I must admit that I was excited to learn that we would be treated to two tennis game’s We haven’t had many tennis games in recent year’s so I must admit that I was excited to learn that we would be treated to two tennis game’s within a couple of weeks of each other.
