Basically, Gamespot's review is completly accurate; this game is outstanding. I 100% recommend it to any sports fan.
Right of the bat, this game is set up to be easy and accessible to the player. The menus are straightforward and you can choose whatever you want to do without going through a bunch of annoying subheadings. Once you're playing, you are again blown away by how accurate the swings are. I actually strained my arms my first day with the game (be warned, the swings can be as strenuous as in real golf). I am not great at golf, and my swing is weak, and in the game my swing was also imperfect. This of coarse can be fixed with practice, but you definitely see a link to your real life skills when starting out on this game. Not to say if you suck at golf you'll suck at this game, or that you'll hate this game if you hate golf, just that golf players will get that extra awe when finally playing a game that you play realistically. Overall, the gameplay is outstanding, as the driving, putting, and chipping are all designed perfectly to make you feel like you are out there playing with the pros.
As Gamespot said, the visuals are the one weak point of this game that actually takes away from the gameplay. I own Tiger Woods PGA Tour 05, and I'd say the graphics are equal. Things will have corners where they shouldn't, sometimes objects or characters will seem to go through the ground, overall if the creators had spent more time on perfecting the graphics, the game would be perfect. However, the swings are smooth and accurate, and for the most part the graphics don't interfere with the gameplay, so I would not consider this problem a reason not to buy this game. The biggest downfall is the price, but with the bundle (which you should get (the Wii MotionPlus is amazing)) you save money on the Wii MotionPlus so it isn't so bad. If you are a golf fan you will have no regrets paying more than you would for an average game.
There are some tiny problems around the game that annoy more than interfere, but they are worth mentioning. The save menu is confusing, and even though it is easy to load once you know how, it is not as straightforward as it should be. The amount of clothing options for your golfer is lower than it should be (I think) which again would be just an extra thing to say "wow this game has it all". Again, these problems do not affect the game in major ways, but are notable.
I would 100% recommend this game to anybody even a little bit into golf. The new swing (In which YOU actually swing) is perfect and revolutionary, and overall this game is how every golf game should be.
