The graphics of the courses are nice. While some of the backgrounds have a good deal of pixelation, the greens, fairways, bunkers, and roughs all have enough detail to give you the full golf experience. The golfers themselves are modeled in exquisite detail. Each golfer sports unique animations, and the clothes wrinkle as the swing develops. Golfers look down in dismay and will even throw their putter on a bad shot.
Tiger gives a little pump of satisfaction on the harder putts.
His enthusiasm was nothing compared to mine on one 82-foot putt for birdie. Of course my enthusiasm was tempered after posting an 18-round score of 83, to which I was greeted with the comment that I had the worst score on record. At least I didn't have to buy a dozen balls to play. The game also keeps track of your longest drive. The speech and sound effects are not yet complete, and the preview copy's speech effects were on the corny side.
