Lets get right to it....this game if you love golf is fantastic.

The graphics are awesome; the speed of play is great and I was hooked from the get go. I have been playing this game for weeks now and I have finally just achieved every trophy.

As soon as you enter career mode, the fun starts; you start with average power and skills and equipment, but through winning challenges and events on the pro tour you earn money to buy new equipment and stats are increased based on your gameplay. If you perform poorly on a round you get the chance to redeem yourself slightly with the addition of the coach thing at the end which allows you to go back to some shots you played in the round and show you can consistently achieve greatness with them!

I will say though that the AI on this game is relatively poor. Most of the pros are average and if you score well in the tournaments most of the time you will win them. Completing all the challenges and the trophies though is a challenge due to the amount of them. At the end of your first full season which takes enough time as it is you will receive a gluttony of these trophies (if you have played well enough that is) but then it seems that to achieve the few missing it takes absolutely ages to do; like a couple more PGA seasons which is a long time. However I only felt the game was getting repetative during the end of this process.

I think the above could be helped by more trophies inbetween the easy ones and the hard ones and definitely more courses would help. I dont think for example I have ever seen August National represented on this game series; im sure August would have to give permission but this is Tiger Woods endorsed....Come on!?

Ive whined now but what this game does well it does brilliantly; the courses look amazing, and the gameplay is accurate. I played this game for ever and a day and rarely did I find it boring or dull.
