Alas sadly Ao Tennis falls incredibly short on a number of fronts and I cannot recommend the game in it’s current state. Starting with the most crucial element, gameplay. It’s janky and frustrating and bemusing at times to control. You want to feel that you have control over the limbs of the player, that when you prepare for whatever shot you’re about to play that your in control of the preparation of leading up to that shot. AO Tennis doesn’t afford you this, it’s very much snapping you into position consistently, it’s very much rushed uncontrolled movements to the ball and then there’s little difference over the type of shot that’s hit. There’s no distinction, there’s no tacticity in the ball you play and how that affects your opponent. It’s all just a bit samey and with the other gameplay “authentic” tennis games such as Full Ace and Tennis Elbow, the distinction in the shot is why those games look and play more like real tennis rallies.
