I wanted to give this a higher score but several things set it back, the game play is fine, (I'm playing on the novice setting) lots of fun, but when you go head to head in "Battle" mode the flaws come out, first of all the bot opponent is supposed to be based on other players and when they strike the ball... I don't know how else to say it, they are very spastic in their movements, it's like they are twisting and contorting before and after hitting, sometimes the opponent isn't even there and the ball gets wacked by a ghost I guess, just really weird and unsettling, the video you watch before you buy the game, the opponent is very realistic and fluid.
Also they all play like Tiger Woods!
I just played three games and lost them all...30 mile an hour winds my ball flys way off course because of the wind, as you would expect, but my spastic opponent hits it straight and true in 30 mile an hour winds! Drops it right next to the pin like a boss! On occasion when they do have a shot that goes in the rough, they chip it out and either drain the shot or puts it right next to the hole and remember they are supposed to be novices...and don't get me started about their putting expertise, 60 feet out? No problem it's in the hole... literally every time from every spot on the green uphill or downhill it's in!
Very frustrating to say the least... I'm going to see because of all these glitches and flaws if I can get my $29 dollars back.
Dissatisfied.
