When Paracel Storm was first shown I was really not in favor of it at all but now that I've played it I'm a fan. Actually I enjoy all the fantasy courses as they still have a realistic feel them. I was afraid they would make them outrageously over the top.

One of the things I love about Paracel Storm is that it's a par-3 course that's also a fantasy. What better way to get kids interested into golf then by letting them play a par -3 course on a fantasy course?

Plus, it's such a fun course for online play.

One of my better shots since I've had the game. Using tour style controls but with zoom on.

Makes side hill lies impact shot results more realistically.

Graphics are great, but wouldn't we expect that on a new system like the Xbox 1? I certainly didn't expect it to look like the PS2 graphically.

7 real tour courses? There is no such course as the Wetlands, and Lighthouse Pointe. Thanks EA for including so many real courses on a "Golf Without Limits" game. And, it appears I can't even use TPC Scottsdale in my career. Another plus for EA.

The create a golfer, seriously. I pulled out the PS2 and I think my golfer looked better on TW 2004. The animations by my character after making a good shot are a slap in the face. Am I supposed to overlook all of the shortcomings of this game and enjoy my guy doing the running man or flexing like Hans and Franz on Saturday Night Live?

The stupid little sayings in between rounds. "filling concession stands", "racing golf carts", and "feeding wildlife" to name a few. Again, another slap in the faith from a company that charges $60 for an incomplete game. Ask if I'm supposed to see that in between rounds and think "that's hilarious, I'm no longer bothered by the fact that it will take me until retirement age to level up my created golfer at this rate"

The deer, foxes, and other wildlife including the bugs flying around. Was the concept supposed to make me forget all of the things that could have, should have been done to make this game great.

Look, I will keep playing because I spent money on it. I will keep hoping that there will be meaningful updates (more courses, more golfers, a real schedule) but I will not hold my breath. EA has a reputation, well-earned mind you, for over-promising and under-delivering when it comes to their sports games.

I've put all of the settings on the highest level, turned off the green grid etc on three click mode and I still won the international at Troon in career mode by three shots. The problem is the really appalling computer AI and it plays at such a low level. The game would be great if you could change the scoring level for the computer. The AI really needs an overall. I was nine behind after two rounds with the computer leading at 11 under, the leading computer player after four rounds finished at 8 under. Time after time their scores go backwards. It's so frustrating. Well I have nowhere else to go with this game at present until it's AI and scoring levels are patched. I want a challenge and not a procession every game. I've slowly remped up my difficulty level and it seems as I make my game harder the computer scores get lower. It's as if it's scripted for me to win. I know EA heavily scripts their sport games(FIFA 15 for example) but with RM it's very contrived.

I think this game is too easy. With the golfer I created, I win a tournament by at least 25 strokes if I put it on arcade mode, but shoot in the 80s in tour pro mode. I shot a 55 at the AP Invitational, only my 7th round in the game. With my skill level, there's no good balance. I suppose I could try tour pro mode with zoom on, but I would have liked there to be some sort of balance, because there is a really big gap between classic and arcade, and arcade and tour pro.
