EXCELLENCE ALL AROUND:
Can't beat this game in terms of fun, options, and quality. I nearly prefer to play the xbox game more than a REAL round of golf!
I love this game!!:
I've always been a fan of this franchise and I've been out of the loop on since 2007 so I'll be comparing this to that and previous games Pros-
Difficulty levels are just right depending on your experience
Swing control is switchable to desired analog stick, a big help since my left hand is retarded :P
3 point swing assist is great for those who have an inconsistent swing or prefer this option
Swing is way more forgiving which I think is due to the Club Tuner

Superb xbox online golf game:
This game is great to play with others online. I play with my sons and grandsons and the nicest part is I can do it from the comfort of my own home. This gift is perfect for a family living in different areas. I love this game and all it has to offer. A big step up from the previous Tiger Woods xbox games.
Hours of fun and tests your ability constantly:
This is great fun. Much more fun than on a PC. The ability to go on line and play others is fantastic.
