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.

I played the first three holes, and got straight birdies.
I saved.
Wow.

Wow.
Now, try to beat Peach's Invitational
I beat it!
YES.
YES.
I just tend to give up if I have a bad start, as I know that'll be, most likely, the way I carry on.
ANOTHER double bogey.
5 shots behind the lead, now. Hole 13, so I can make it up.

I know that I'll end up getting annoyed with in in a few eeks time, and trading it for some pap, but, for the moment, I'm enjoying every putt, every par, every birdie to the fullest.
That doesn't happen.
It will take around a year to do that... really. It took me ages to complete the 64 version 100%. Hardest thing is birdie badges, hmm... or perhaps the later stages of the ring shot mode.

It's really a game I want to master, and want to be able to get eagles on every other hole in a months time.
That's what I'm hoping for.

Two double bogeys in a row.
I'm now at +5 *curses*

I unlocked Star Peach yesterday.
I'm going to complete it with regular Yoshi. I will.
