The thing that just irks me is that the core tennis gameplay is bad and even using the power of a next-gen console, it runs slow and stutters a lot and overall it’s just a bland game that doesn’t even match up to much older games.Continuing the long-standing tradition of video games that let you live out the career of an athlete in your chosen sport, Breakpoint Studio brought us Tennis World Tour in 2018. There are just no incentives or hooks as the career mode is stagnant, online is quiet and the game has no actual unlock aside from the cards. I hope you like cards because you are only really playing for cards and coins to buy cards. Speaking of the cards, they are a simple thing and one where I would have preferred more traditional exp leveling up rather than a card with limited uses. It never feels like you get in a flow and even with these cards you can buy (in-game currency) to improve stats temporarily, it doesn’t make it any more fun to play. To go a bit deeper the judgment of shots issue exists as the game uses a weird not fun to use a power system for shots whereby you have to time when you press and hold the button for power and all it does is make a lot of needless hassle. First off it’s not a fluid fast game, it plays Sluggish and it doesn’t help that the character models are not great or that it’s hard to judge shots. It’s not a sim and it’s not an arcade game, it’s kind of both but only the bad parts. Enter Tennis World 2 and it’s a game stuck in limbo. A lot of the older franchises are not around anymore so I’m glad to see a sequel of a game that had potential but needed more polish. We have had many tennis games over the years and I have played a lot of them! From tennis on the Gameboy to Virtua tennis I have been there.
