This thread has been linked to the game 'Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'.
From waking up, getting dressed (new Leeds shirt, hurrah, and checking downstairs for the post, I've been playing on Mario Golf. Bear in mind that I have never touched the 64 version, and, therefore, I can't compare it to the earlier version or whatever.
For the last hour or so, I've been playing through a tournament (on Laiktu), playing the Ring Challenges and just finished a match-up against Luigi, and, in two words, I can accuratelky describe it as a golf sim - above average. If this was back on the 64, it'd be superb as a golf sim. But now, with the new ways to hit the ball with the analogue stick, it justr looks aged.
But, if you're buying a Mario game to be a simulator then there is something up with you, seriously. Being able to 'compliment' the other player and fill his screen with 'let's go!', 'you're the best' by button smashing is a good touch, and could do well in multiplayer, and the range of characters bodes well for playability.
I'm going back for another go. I'll post back with some more thoughts later on.

Links was slightly easy.
But, with a mate, it shines.

One observation - Mario Golf requires much skill.
Good. I can't wait for tomorrow- Xbox Live and TT.
Cool.
Cool.
Bad choice, chipseh. Live will dominate, due to its addictiveness, and you'll forget about poor old TT.
:(
:(
But I love Mario Golf, and I only have one Live-enabled game anyway. :)
Links 2004 is excellent, best golf game to date.

I'll get it cheap I think.
And Matt is correct. When you first get Live it's scarily addictive.
But only if you have Pandora Tommorrow, Rainbow Six 3 and PGR2, and maybe Rallisport 2 as well!

i dont see how golf games are good, all you do is controll the power and where u want to hit the ball and thats it, talk about too much controll of your character NOT! i fail to see why they cant spend all the money they spent on mario golf and put it all in the making of mario 128, if they'd stop making these rubbish games then the exclusive games they make will be more better
If they put all the money spent on Mario Party 5, Mario Party 4, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart, etc, etc, into one game, we would be much worse off.
Anyway, they have a variety of development teams. Nintendo doesn't consist of one person.
