Anyone tried out the Predator DLC?

[jwmcards]

Has anyone tried out the Predator course yet? $8 seems a tad pricey for one course, but I remember liking the course from older versions. Curious as to anyone's thoughts that may have tried it.

Eight bucks a course, wow. Mamma told me to get into video game development back in the 60's -- I should have listened to her instead of smoking all that dope.

I unlocked all the courses a week and a half ago. I'm in the process of playing multiple rounds on each, to learn how they each play: best holes for driver vs 3 wood off the tee; where the hazards are; shot positioning on the greens; etc. It's going to be a long while before I'm completely familiar with the default courses that come with the game. I just can't imagine needing to spend money on additional courses at this point.

It's beautiful but hard to call it worth the money. I can see myself playing it many times to get the tricks of the course down. But it is pretty much all about the tricks and once you learn the holes that will take a lot of the novelty out of it. Some of the shots were obviously set up with a boosted drive in mind but that will only add to the challenge.

It's unfair but it is unfair in a way you can learn to beat and that will be the reason for playing it more than once.

An Augusta course that is playable in season mode might be worth this much for one course but nothing else. Definitely not a course that EA doesn't have to pay a licensing fee for.

Pretty much blows away some of the pre-release hints that download courses would be more reasonably priced this year.

I don't like paying 7.50 for real courses so, there is no way I would ever pay that much for a fake one.

I hated the predator when it was the game for xbox, and will hate it now...fantasy courses are annoying and make me feel like im playing golden tee golf

I don't mind the fake courses being available, but I think it's just too much $$. If they had some deal where they offer 3 courses for $10, that might be different. I don't know how difficult it is to develop a course, but it seems like if we can get 4 maps in a pack for a shooter for 8 or 10 dollars they could have a course pack of some kind.

I never played the original. I got this one.

I don't like the course really. It is one of those things where you have to basically just know where to hit the ball. Kind of fun for something different, but not really what I was looking for.

The CPU golfers don't know how to play it. On a few holes, they would just chip the ball out of bounds until they hit the stroke limit (and they still beat me).

At least on 360 I noticed a few graphics slowdowns.

Overall: very pricey and not that great IMHO.

I didn't like this course when it was in TW'04 or TW'05. For $7.50 or $8 I can see myself finding reasons not to like it even if it has improved. I remember it being too gimmicky.

Good to know that the CPU golfers still can't play it.
