Taking part in any activity will increase your abilities on the court via stats (which is shown in an experience screen) and will drop your condition with your condition dropping multiple times in a tournament. There are many different spaces to land on: training spaces which consist of a single mini-game, exhibition matches of both single and doubles varieties, special matches that are played against well-known players, rest areas that regain you some condition, fan signings and charity events which gain you star rating, manager spaces let you purchase special tickets such as 1 and 2 space tickets, recovery tickets and more, tournament spaces consist of mini-tournaments and the final tournament. You start off with three tickets which have a number that determines how far you move that turn with it giving you a new ticket in the next turn if you use one of the original three. The World Tour has a map which is a little like a board game you move in turns trying to get to the tournament at the end of the season before the turns run out while trying to stop on spaces that have activities on them while missing the condition dropping ones. You can choose from three difficulties based on what sort of player you are: Casual, Experienced and Professional. World Tour starts you off with creating a character or selecting a previously made character for a four season tour from rags to riches as your character starts off as a low tiered player who eventually works towards the top spots on the leaderboard. This mode is really only for practising the preciseness of shots and nothing more tutorials are non-existent and the only forgiving modes that you can play are world tour and some of the mini-games. While taking a shot a glowing target will appear on the opposite side of the court so that you can see where you are aiming. Balloons are placed in the court as a target for the lessons but never really help much as it still leaves everything to be explained.

The lessons give a loose explanation on how to do something very specific but never tell you the button to press or what type of situation it would be good/ needed for. These are by no means a good replacement for a well thought out tutorial the game can be quite unforgiving for anyone who hasn’t played a tennis game before and is still quite difficult for anyone used to more arcade-like tennis games. Practise mode would normally be the place to start but in this case it has serving practise and some lessons on how to play. The ball leaves a blurred trail as it flies through the air but on the grass court this can be difficult to track if you’re playing on SD or HD without a HDMI cable. World tour does feature walls of text here and there which could have been replaced with audio or something to make you feel more connected. The menu screen is sometimes obstructed slightly as titles blend with the picture of the tennis star behind them which is annoying when you’re trying to read about the mode. The character creator has mixed results as some of the features are noticeably ugly such as some of the hair styles but on the whole characters look fine. The characters are all nicely portrayed even if most of the time they are sweating madly. There are different court types with their own look which all looks as it should clay and grass courts aren’t just colour changes.
