Really, they have shot themselves in the foot, for the fourth year in a row with this neutered demo... (sigh) The Wii version was looking okay graphically last night on X-Play, but dawggone it... that swing interface looks so sweet. It was nice to see the golfer check his swing short of a full follow-through when the human player did so. I'm very tempted to cancel my pre-order for the 360 version, and go with the Wii,

You got a link to that X-Play demo?

I DVR'd it and watched it on TV last night. The program was either Tuesday night's or Wednesday mornings.

These impressions aren't sounding too hot so far.

Same feel as last year, and the year before, and the year before....Can't justify a purchase from the demo for me. At this point, it's just obvious to me that Tiger Woods is what it is, and as it sells well, will never significantly change. I can't get into what this game is - arcade golf with a few sim-esque elements, but ultimately an arcade game at its core.

Barring a new Links game or some other new entry into the golf game realm, which appears increasingly unlikely with each passing year, I guess I am done playing video game golf...

Ive been wanting a another Tiger game since 07, but I passed every year and now i am probaly going pass once again. Same crap.

^^ That pretty much sums up my thoughts after the demo and sadly I don't expect much more from the retail copy.

As many of the members here I wasn't very impressed with the demo either. Last TW game that I played (still play) is 08 and really expected the demo to feel a "little" different at the very least. I know it's on beginner difficulty but still the core gameplay elements to me seemed as though they were not improved too much.
There are nice additions to the game like the weather system and its effects on the gameplay. I think the new putting meter is a good step forward as well but but that would not justify purchasing the game for me.
I am not a huge optimist about the online tournaments because the game is still not a simulation type of game (would not allow scores in the 40s or even 50s) which just proves that the game has not made any leaps forward over the last couple of years.
If I get the game I would wait for it to drop @ around $30 and maybe get it then but I feel like the tiger woods series needs a major overhaul otherwise many fans of the game will be lost.

Demo was very unimpressive. Now I'm even hesitant on the Wii version, since it may end up being the same only with the 1:1.
