I agree with you, why must this guy insinuate that the people who bought the game have never watched golf or attempted to play it before? Of course we know things like that never happen.
You're high and mighty stance is quite rude.
As for impressions of this game, because this is what this thread is for, the game is fun. I haven't played a TW game since 06 but enjoyed the previous iterations on the PS2.
The arcade quality of the titles is what kind of drew me in the first place. I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoy mashing my A button around to spin the ball.
A note to unlocking: I think you can change the difficulty of the Tour Challenges if you're strapped for time. Its an easy and fast way to unlock items you can use in modes you're more interested in.
I am very confused at times when I hit very high shots and the ball just backspins. I never saw this in the past games. Is there a way to make it so the loft is not so high? I know there is the loft stick, but perhaps there are other strategies to take into account.
Aside from being a bit rusty, I am enjoying the online tournaments. I think its really cool to go up against real scores even though many players will demolish them. Its still a great concept.
The daily tournaments are a great idea as well. I like the idea of trying to improve my score by seeing how other players do.
The new putting stick is difficult but rewarding. However, I could see it being mastered in a short span. I do enjoy the mechanic though.
One last note to those who continue to post here negatively here, yet was "intelligent" enough to not buy the game:
Please stop it. All you do is make yourselves look bad.
Thanks.
