The eight included courses also help to make solo tournaments a blast. Every aspect of gameplay is made better by the incredible speed at which the program operates. Removing the wait that is so common to some other golf sims really makes AG 2 a joy to play. Solid, not spectacular As I've already alluded, the graphics here are very good, if not drop-dead beautiful in 3D mode. Up close scenery is very well drawn, and trees and bushes waver realistically in stronger winds.
Water is also dynamic, flowing and reflecting trees and clouds.
Hot air balloons and the occasional duck floating on a pond also help bring the scenery to life. Weather is shown on the screen very nicely, with rainy or damp days being represented with visible raindrops and threatening skies. Distant features such as mountain ranges, forests, and deserts are not so well drawn. They're blurry at even the highest graphic setting, resembling nothing more than bad vacation photos or poor watercolors of scenic vistas. This isn't as much of a drawback as it sounds, though, as the attractive foreground will get all of your attention while playing.
