I am currently having a blast with this game. My golf experiences date back to the old "Leaderboard" games from the C64 days. Hell I'm usually up on the money charts with the ITS golf games as well.
This is the funnest I've ever played for golf.
Putting is tough, but is very real-to-life.
Two gripes:
1. Once you progress, it seems the CPU takes a shot, and right away you hear his heart-beat start up. "Oh, what do you know, the computer within 5 ft. again." I had to laugh when the CPU gave itself a hoe-in-one, one time.
2. When I was trying to beat the red-headed Scottish guy for the third time, he cheated. Did this happen to anyone else?
a. He drove.
b. His approach bounced to just over the green.
c. His third shot, he chipped and left it about 12 ft. away.
d. He rimmed his putt, and left it a few inches away.
Now this is where the player simply putts in, and gets his ball out of the way without waiting his turn. (Sometimes they putt it in, and sometimes they shoot it in via the Chevy Case 'pool-stick' style)
e. He actually missed this one, gave a smile to the camera, and got a four for par. WTF???
I was so sick of playing this asshole, I almost threw my controller. I replayed his hole over and over to see if I was mistaken, but no, after four strokes, he still wasn't in the hole.
That was bullshit IMO.
Needless to say, somehow I started kicking his ass, and didn't even need to play the last four holes. Poor AI in my opinion.
Ah, rant over. Am I the only one who has experienced this?
I'll keep playing however. It's just too addicting.
