Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
“Matchpoint Tennis Championships serves up a smooth-playing and simple-to-control game of tennis – to the point where you have to go out of your way to miss a shot – but saddles it with a career mode that’s so lacking in spectacle and any sense of meaningful progression that it almost made me wish I’d taken a desk job instead. Multiplayer matches are more dynamic but noticeably light on options, and the complete lack of doubles play severely diminishes any appeal it may have had for game night gatherings on the couch. There’s a solid baseline to build on in the future, but Matchpoint Tennis Championships ultimately feels like a tentative first serve for the series.”

How do the animations in modern tennis games still look as old as Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 from almost 20 years ago?!
Play top spin 4 bye bye
what were they thinking not having djokovic, federer or nadal in the game!?
The original Virtua Tennis is far better than this. Even if you have game pass, do not bother. Horrible gameplay.
This looks truly awful sadly!
Need something better. It’s fun to play if you’re new to tennis games.
Nothing will top the classic Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2
This game is unbelievably bad. The movement is clunky and unresponsive the aiming system is too easy to learn
We need a 2k Tennis that would be lit
It’s fair to say tennis game peaked at Top Spin 4
Guess I’ll be waiting even longer for a quality tennis game 😔
Looks like a ps3 game in term of the graphics but also the animations and presentation
This game is seriously unbalanced. Basically if you serve, you're likely to control each game
this looks like a PS2 game…
This might be the most entertaining review from IGN in months! Great job Tristan!
When the Top Spin series comes back man, as far as I'm concerned the best tennis game is Top Spin 4 is gold since that just hasn't come out better. Still hopefully one day this series will be reborn from the ashes and Top Spin 5 will come out, eh how long it's been since 2011 when Top Spin 4 came out.
Seems like my kind of game
AO Tennis 2 …….. still the best.
At least it's on gamepass so I'm not risking anything by trying it out..
The players look like their on skates
Looks like we can still play Mario power Tennis. Which still looks more fun then this garbage. And they have 2v2.
If only Top Spin 4 were backward compatible on xbox…
The avatars dont really look like their counterparts
Gave this a go on gamepass aaand it made me dig out my 360 and Top Spin 4 disc….
What's with the players skating on ice every time they hit the ball? Looks weird
We need another game like Everybody's Tennis (or Hot Shots Tennis: Get A Grip!) on PSP
all they do when you reach high level players is serve outside you return almost everytime in their feet and they swing it acros the field and its over, so boring at this point
virtua tennis 3 is at least 10x better that this
Top spin 4 that came 12 years ago looks better
Top spin 4 had every top player in it including the big 3
Be this hard on madden please
If the game just makes the crowed sound better and less sliding it would be a but better.
HORRIBLE movement and physics
HORRIBLE movement and physics
0:13 how it's possible that floating players are still a thing in 2022 when Top Spin 4 nailed that 11y ago?!
Can’t even get big star player names, played career and tommy haas is ranked 3? that guy retired years ago. what a disappointment
Whoever made this game needs a backhand
Not really a tennis fan but it makes no sense why their isn’t a big time tennis simulation game out. Top spin back in the days use to be a great video game let alone a sports game.
The fact that this is pretty much all we got for now. After you get through the learning curve; this game actually isn’t that bad for what it is.
The fact that I'd much prefer to play Virtua Tennis World Tour on the PSP is pretty disappointing
Played the demo a lot on pro mode & going in to the career mode, playing tennis was fun. Gameplay is a 7 imo but the overall game lacks a lot of other things like graphics (also floating players), bland audio (flat commentary, surprisingly different empires). It's no Top Spin but the game is enjoyable imo. Maybe it's about budget (lack of of the biggest players) because gameplay wise the has/had potential. Playing on Game Pass & will play it regularly for a while.
Wow the ball physics and player animations look horrible . Tennis on game boy is better
Looks nothing like Kyrgios.
This is such a well written review. The metaphors are spot on!
that feeling when GTA V's tennis minigame both looks and plays better than actual tennis game in 2022
