Well, I won't bite but I will be biased.
Now, this is just my opinion... your mileage may vary, past performance is not a guarantee of future results, etc. etc etc.
I play golf in real life. I'm not very good at it, breaking 90 is a damned fine day for me, but I have a really good time doing it. Being lucky enough to live in an area where I can play pretty much year-round with a couple of different foursomes.... good fun.
WGT, in my opinion, (besides the odd meter skip/stutter) mimics my game pretty much to a "T"... 300yds off the tee on a good day, 260 on a bad, 225 into the wind... the odd deviations and "WTF" moments while the ball is in flght and the shanked chips, pitches and putts that come up 2" short, etc.
So, it feels like home when I want to get in a round on the computer. I like it. I wish there were more courses but then again so does everyone else.
Its golf, played on a computer, as a game.
It's what is known as a "Realistic Simulator"... or as close as that oxymoron will allow.
Whereas the other game... the cartoon game... is a game, played on the computer, as golf.
It's too easy. Wolf Creek, par 5 17th and the par 5 6th... I've ACED them both.
Tell me, besides in a cartoon, can anyone in this world ACE a par 5, let alone 2 different holes on any course without a windmill and a clown?
There are a few people here who have played that course at <-40. One shot a -37. 37... Averages out to an eagle on EVERY hole... including aces on all par 3s.
Now there are some here who will chime in .. ."yea, but that's playing on the easiest settings, if you crank up the difficulty you'll have a much harder time!"
To that I say, "So? It's still a cartoon, no matter how difficult you try to make it."
And that's just the playability.. there are other threads here that will get into the graphix, so I won't have to.
Lastly, don't even get me started on the 12 year old crowd that populates any and all chat channels.
No thanks.
I hope that answers your question Jablonsky. No biting and a very biased opinion.. but then again, opinions are biased by nature.
Have a nice day.
