It will be going left for you now! While this suits the better golfer, making the game more of a challenge, it can be a tad harsh on a new player. On tour mode, gone are the days when you could feel your swing going left and the ball still went straight. This is a nice touch, and will be welcomed by some as the analogue swing has become incredibly sensitive this year. For all you old school Links gamers like me, Tiger has brought back the 3-click swing. The first major change in the gameplay is a trip down memory lane. The professionals have also been dragged into the studio and been recorded, giving their videos a more realistic feel to them. And just like in real life, the crowd gets louder the closer to the final hole and the end of tournament you get.

The crowd noises have also been improved this year, with the crowd actually cheering for the correct professional when playing in the challenges. They also give helpful insights into the hole you are playing, which can sometimes save you from a poor shot. While many of the phrases will be familiar to Tiger veterans, there are also plenty of new lines to stop you pulling your teeth out. Their commentary has been re-recorded this year and is sounding crisp. While you are out on the course, you will have the familiar banter of David Feherty and Gary McCord to guide you round. "The courses are looking more spectacular this year." The number of professional golfers has also increased this year, including members of the LPGA tour, which is a nice change – although they are only really challenging when your golfer is in the beginning stages of their career. You will have to play a lot of golf before you are completely familiar with all the courses. With the graphical differences between the two generations, it’s also to be expected. While still behind the previous generation console, this is a big step up for the 360. There are 5 additional courses this year, bringing the total number up to 16. However, you can make them grab themselves in pain when you hit them with the ball, which is almost a benefit of missing the fairways. They are also programmed as a group- I had 16 of them in a triangle doing a synchronized dance routine at one point. The water features are shimmering away in the sunlight, and the only bad thing I can say about the graphics is the crowds. The courses look amazing, with plenty of foliage on the trees, long wavy grass for rough and short grass on the fairways with shadows from clouds blowing round. These have been given a major overhaul, and the game itself is looking nothing short of spectacular.
As soon as you step onto the first tee, you will be pleasantly surprised by the graphics. Certainly makes the menus a lot less annoying.
Another positive thing is the lack of an irritating pop song while the game is starting. You can quickly jump into any type of game you want, and there are also easy to follow tutorials guiding you though the new features to the game. The new menus are a lot sleeker, and it doesn’t feel as rushed as previous versions. Instead of just standing in front of a driving range like in the 07 version, you are now stood in a clubhouse with a nice big shiny screen behind you, showing you clips of the professionals featured in the game. When booting up the game, the first thing you notice is the new look.
