"AO Tennis 2 can be a hell of a lot of fun, but if you&s;re easily annoyed by some inconsistent controls and a steep learning curve, you&s;re better off avoiding this one."

"I can definitively say the game has more positives than negatives and feels less raw than its predecessor, but it still isn’t as complete as other sports titles."

"AO Tennis 2 is a good-looking tennis title with plenty of things to tinker and tweak with. However the fiddly controls and limited roster mar the experience."

"With stiff animations and a balls physics not so realistic, AO Tennis 2 fails to represents a good simulation of this noble sport. Top Spin 4 remains the king even after nine years from his debut."
