TENNIS WORLD TOUR GAME TV

There are nice ray-tracing effects added for this upgrade, and combined with the 4K resolution and 60FPS, it is definitely a looker at times.

It does look pretty nice, especially during matches where the overhead view gives the game a photo-realistic feel that will remind you of actual TV tennis broadcasts (aside from the absence of voiced commentary). I will admit, there are a few positives to Tennis World Tour 2 Complete Edition. The whole card system just feels out of place in fact IвЂ™d go further and say it feels intrusive, an attempt by the developers to somehow lay the groundwork for some sort of microtransactions. I donвЂ™t want to be fiddling with cards and вЂњboostsвЂќ and вЂњdebuffs,вЂќ especially when I am already struggling with an imperfect control mechanic as it is. As a fan of tennis, I just want to play tennis. They just feel weird and frankly, unwanted. I havenвЂ™t even yet mentioned Tennis World Tour 2вЂ™s strange buff cards that you get to play during matches to temporarily boost things like accuracy or power. In normal tennis the server has the advantage but in Tennis World Tour 2, it is the opposite.ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s the card system. So, youвЂ™ll get broken a lot, but on the bright side your AI opponent also serves atrociously as well, keeping matches from being completely lopsided, I suppose.

Or, if you do manage a rare successful power serve, your opponent will always (in my experience) smoke it past you with their return shot.

Again, powerful serves can be attempted with the same button-hold technique but since there is no control over placement, they almost always go out. In serving (perhaps the most crucial part of a tennis match), this technical issue becomes almost a game-breaker. This results in lots of longer rallies in which you might win some points by luck but otherwise have little chance at purposely hitting winners. There is supposed to be the ability to control left-right aiming with the left stick, but from what I experienced the only input that registered was вЂњextreme left or right.вЂќ Thus, youвЂ™ll quickly find that the safe precision shot is your only regular option. The problem here is that powered-up shots usually land out, and I saw no way to really control where they landed. To take a shot, you hit the button when close to the ball, tapping quickly for an accurate but slower precision shot, and holding and releasing the button for a stronger but riskier shot. When hitting the ball, it doesnвЂ™t get much better. The game gives you the ability to sprint with the R2 trigger, but this is very laggy and your opponent will blast their shot past you before you are even close to reaching the ball. Moving side to side should be fluid, but character animation is clunky and the range of motion bafflingly limited this results in your player annoyingly stumbling sideways instead of running for the ball. For one thing, while controlling and moving your player on the court is straightforward in theory, in practice it is awkward and very frustrating. Unfortunately, while there are a few positives, this latest offering still misses the mark and fails to bring the greatness of tennis to gaming.ДЄs someone who plays and watches real tennis fairly regularly, I know that the game is exciting and fun, but for many reasons that magic is sadly missing from Tennis World Tour 2. Now developers Big Ant Studios serve up a second shot at tennis success with Tennis World Tour 2 Complete Edition, bringing not only an updated version of the game but some extra content in the PS5 version. Tennis World Tour, released in 2018, didnвЂ™t exactly hit an ace with gamers with its rough gameplay and generally unpolished state.
