I will put me review up on Monday - after I have had a chance to play online properly.

So far, I am absolutely delighted with this game (single player) - its a rare work of pure gaming fun, but with devilishly good gamepley.

had a few hours on this so far,loved the psp version which led me to buy this the graphics are great and gameplay is great but i just cant stand the advance shots its just so annoying and talking about annoying, the repetative sayings from the onlookers drive you mental overall good game game but could of been better

Yes, those spectators know how to put you off, and also the caddy's can be a tad mouthy, especially when your trying for a putt and they give there words of wisdom like 'it's downhill, a slope to the right'.. i bloody know now shut up!!

Apart from that small niggle, i love this game

[silvercue]

I put 9, but was close to a 10......

The only ommision is comms, but that can be horrible sometimes and the chat works ok for me. I know others miss it more.

Overall, the game is brilliant, colourful, beautiful and fun. Online is a dream and I can't really fault the game.

Only reason I didnt give a 10 is that it is not really ground breaking I guess and......I never give 10s, well almost never!

[Wamphyri]

Never played the Jap version, but i'm loving this. GT5P has hardly been used cause ive been playing this !!!

It gets a 9 for me.

Only bad points are, lack of voice comms for online friends games, and a few more courses would have been nice.

Good tip, They are rather anoying and did not know there was an option to turn the buggers off, Thanks

I gave it an 8.

Finishing a tournament and being returned to the main menu really annoys me. Petty I know, but I'd like to be able to go straight to the next one !!!!

I know what you mean but as you said that really is petty as a couple of movements by your fingers and your playing again, Come on people are we really that lazy these days that we need everthing right NOW

Opted for an 8 for this although really it was only a 7 at best, thing is I gave GT5p a 7 and this is a far more fun and appealing title so have to at least give it that one extra mark.

I can quite honestly say that this is the first PS3 title that I have really been glad to have bought and in a week that saw four PS3 games joining my 'collection' (GT5p, Virtua Fighter 5, Sega Rally also) it is a breath of fresh air given the disappointment factor with the other games.

The game maintains the simplistic nature of the previous PSP incarnation that had been my first exposure to the EG game which is exactly correct, it would be pointless to try and compete with more simulation oriented games like TW and so stands better as the more arcade and fun alternative (must like the Leaderboard and Links games were in the early days of home computing). Control wise the normal controls suit the game far more than the 'advanced' controls for me, the advanced controls are just to wooly with the SA controller.

I like this, it's light and fun in a way that so few games manage these days. The PS3 is finally starting to spread out into different areas than trying to play catchup to the other HD console on the market.

One serious whinge factor though :

This is the second game this week though that has needed an irritatingly long install period and this is becomming a very annoying trend, especially since the game is slow loading when running as well (so why was the install necessary and just how bad would it be without?). Poor show on that front at least.

Hmm, that is a little harsh I think. After the initial course load (admittedly that is 10-15 seconds), there is no more loading after that.

don't forget to check the Everybody's Golf thread in the PS3 clans section, we get lots of AVForums games going.

Floor 9, Room 20 usually.

[SILVERBACK]

after all the blood letting in COD4 this is just perfect to settle you down and for once there is a game where the music doesnt do your head in,the crowd voices do though lol.GT5 is no more due to this little number.

[Paulodiburkio]

This game is superb, it has to be the best looking sports game on the PS3, after years of buying tiger woods updates and being dissapointed its a breath of fresh air for me...

I quite like Tiger Woods 08, why should I buy this game?

[Paulodiburkio]

Good question and to be honest m8 i'm not sure if you should, most of my tiger woods versions were on the ps2 and I swapped tiger woods 08 for COD4 so I don't have another golf game to play.

This game is much more light hearted and cartoony so for me its a really nice change but I think if you already have a golf game unless you are a huge fan of golf games in general you might find it a bit unrealistic and perhaps a bit simplistic. I enjoy playing 2 player games on this with friends so the fact you can use buttons to heckle each other when taking shots makes it a great laugh.

EGWT is quite forgiving so I spend less time hacking my way out of bunkers and the rough so that has improved my experience, but that might just be my crap swing!

I think if you really like Tiger 08 then shelling out another £30 - £40 for this might be a bit much, maybe rent it or wait until its £20 and just get it for when you fancy a giggle and a light hearted multi player game. I would still rate it an 8 or a 9 but more of an alternative to tiger woods rather than something that you should get in addition.

[brianon]

Have to say I love this game. Online is sweet although the times I play it is sometimes hard to get a good tourney.

I've not played a game this much since Pro Evo 5.

I had TW 08 for both 360 and Wii and this beats them hand down.

[SavageDonkey]

Lots of fun, one of the games I can play and play for some reason.

[xeis]

I love this game (EGWT), just one really annoying feature, when playing solo is there some way to simply quit a round when you know you are done for? It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating to have to quit the game and reload it Especially as you are not in the best mood when needing to quit like this!!

I give it an 8, best gold game on PS3 (imo).

[ClevBeast]

I only bought this game 2 days ago but have played a number of hours now and can safely say this is a class PS3 game. Very relaxing, enjoyable and cute.

I already know i will be playing this for many many months to come

[oakwood49]

just picked this up for £12 from CEX and £15 from game for a mate (both pre-owned)
both currently racking up some time on and offline
great fun game, very good graphics too
very impressed so far
and the psn store content - 2 courses, are quite cheap and very good to play until you get to unlock some of the later ones

9/10 here
