Got this on Friday and thought i would post up some impresions seems as no one else has yet.
first off I'm a big golf fan and was looking for something a bit more heavy duty than wii golf, and in that department it delivers theres a massive amount of courses and tours on offer as well as all the usual create a player lark to create poor elephant man type deformed golfers.
you can play this two ways as well with either the couch potato fave using the wii's analog stick for swing, or the more active wii sports style real swing method, the Remote on its own is the best control method and one reason to get this over the next gen versions. it seems a lot more acurate than wii sports golf too as you can hook and slice if you don't get the swing right.
I dont know if its because i play real golf but i could pretty much straight away get everything going straight and my power at 100%+ i even managed a fantastic chip in from the side of the green.
putting is nice and easy too and similar to wii sports but again a bit refined.
So control wise I've been pretty happy with this it takes the wii sports style controls and improves them quite a bit adding more sensitivity to an already great system.
The thing that really lets this game down though is the looks i know the wii isn't as powerful as the 360, but tiger woods on the 360 really dose show this up, on the 360 tiger woods is bright and vibrant where as the courses on the wii are a bit muddy and lacking a lot of the detail my HD spoiled eyes have come to expect.
it's a fun game though and I've played it to death this weekend its just a shame EA couldent put a bit more time into making it look a bit nicer.
