TENNIS WORLD TOUR 2 REVIEW PRO
Yes, you can play against pro athletes, but they don’t really play with the individual styles of their namesakes. We can start by looking at the flip side of the items we covered above (get ready for a lot of “but…”). Since we have broached the level of fun to be had with this game, as a lot of it is less than inspiring. Warning: At the Very Easy setting, the game all but plays itself and is basically no fun at all. You can also set how easy the game is to play.

As in real life, the court surface and the temperature/humidity play a part in how the game plays ball speed and bounce, player fatigue, etc., are all affected by these settings. Tennis World Tour 2 lets you select different venues, court surfaces and weather conditions. The ZR button lets you run faster, but it burns available stamina. You get more power behind the shot if you hold the action button longer, and you can use the left Joy-Con to aim. You can play either singles or doubles (men’s, women’s or mixed).Īs far as hitting the ball goes, you can select different buttons to get topspin, backspin, or hit the ball flat. There are a few different ways to play, including exhibition (one-off match) or career mode where you can track your progress. If you enjoy learning the myriad controls, subtleties, and nuances of a complex sim type game, you have plenty of opportunity here. You can play against or play as several of the big names in tennis. Let’s look at some of the things I can appreciate about Tennis World Tour 2. I have not played in a while, but I remember the physicality, the mental focus, and the sheer fun of smacking that little green ball around. Juha ran me around so much I literally wore the rubber off my soles. After that, it gets a little less inspiring.įirst off, tennis (singles) was the only organized sport I played in school, although I actually saw more action against my crazy Finnish friend (I’m looking at you, Juha Pekka-Kontio). You also get to make your own avatar so you can join the game (and get beaten badly by the pros). And by big, I mean you get to use avatars of big names like Federer, Nadal, and a few dozen others. Big Ant Studios brings big tennis to the Switch.
