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.

Unlock star Peach and it becomes quite easy, and almost a joy (a JOY?) to play around.
I always lose by one shot on the Blooper course.
*annoyed*
I'm going back to beat it.

Bah, Peach's is such a biatch to vget a decent round on.
There's always a water hazard that trips me up and ruins my game, giving me a double bogey and stuff.
Argh!
And I always go for the warp pipes, and try to taunt the chain-chomps as much as possible.

I'm off to rape Peach's Invitational.
Good day.

Yeah, I agree Tribbers.
I played the original to death, and I love this more already.

I'm saying that, if you're buying it to be a golf sim, you'll be disappointed.
But, as a game, it's superb.

It's not, and it benefits from it.
You do have to think very hard about shots, though, so it's better than a Sim anyday.

Will probably get this.
However, your original post is confusing. Are you saying it IS a golf sim or it isn't?

You can't argue with £30 from SR, seriously.
