Introduction

Welcome to AO Tennis 2, where your dreams of becoming the next Rafael Nadal or Ashleigh Barty become so real, you’ll almost forget that you still can’t serve a tennis ball for your life! In this glorious sequel to the first AO Tennis, Big Ant Studios gives fans another shot at virtual tennis glory, along with some hilarious mishaps along the way, like trying to work out how to hold a racket (seriously, watch out for those finger cramps). Get ready to ace this review as we dive deeper into the gameplay, graphics, and if it’s worth your precious time.

Gameplay

The gameplay in AO Tennis 2 is about as smooth as a freshly waxed court—when it works. The game offers an in-depth career mode where you’ll not only play games but manage your player’s reputation and make strategic choices. This is just like real life, except you can't blame your performance on the racket (sorry racket). You need to deal with press conferences, keep sponsors happy, and of course, work your way up to the top while earning skill points faster than a teenage girl at a Taylor Swift concert. Plus, if you get bored playing solo, the multiplayer mode lets you team up with friends for some competitive tennis action. Just keep an eye on the tennis balls flying around – no one wants an eye patch in your sport!

Graphics

In terms of visuals, AO Tennis 2 serves up a decent-looking game. The characters look good enough to avoid scaring away casual players but you’ll notice a lack of polish that’s akin to a gym sock left in the locker for a month. The courts shine brilliantly, and you might find yourself dazzled by the arena during a night match—just don’t get distracted by the crowd's ‘enthusiastic’ reactions. Seriously, the crowd sounds often seem confused whether they are watching a thrilling match or a high-stakes funeral.

Conclusion

So, is AO Tennis 2 a grand slam or just a racket? With its engaging career mode, local multiplayer fun, and acceptable graphics, it’s a fair shot for tennis fans on the Switch. While it offers plenty of room for improvement, it’s a pretty solid game that will give you a dose of tennis action without requiring you to wake up at the crack of dawn for actual sports training. If you’re looking for a good time on the virtual courts, grab your Joy-Cons and prepare to wipe the sweat off your brow—just remember, don’t let your friends remind you again that you’re low on tennis skills. Time to ace that serve, and maybe check out if a towel can help with those finger cramps!
