 A good improvement from 08' August 29, 2008
Mr Bojangles
I have recently bought both this wii version & the 360 version of 09'.
After previously owning 08' on both consoles I think it is fair to say that improvements on the wii version are quite subtle, but overall, do improve the general quality of the game.
A LOT of things remain from the 08' version.
Eg. Character creation is EXACTLY the same, same kit, clothes, accessories etc. The only difference being the navigational menus have been revamped, which to EA's credit are very nicely done, a vast improvement from 08'.
Gameplay wise, the graphics have had a very nice improvement, and although they still come nowhere near to the standards of the 360 version, are surprisingly very good for a wii game.
They have also implemented a new play style "all play" which basically tells you exactly where the ball will bounce, land, roll etc, and make getting the correct swing percentage right extremely easy. This is great for beginners and little kids, but isn't very challenging to say the least. (Best just to keep it on normal play.)
Another new feature is online play! I have played this a couple of times with my brother and I have to say its not to bad. Obviously there aren't as many features as you get on the 360 version, but its pretty decent.
Overall, this is still the best golf game on the wii by a country mile. And, is an improvement on 08' although I would have liked to see some new features, more character customization and more online features, but overall I highly recommend this game, not only to hardcore golf fans, but to anyone. Its great fun.
With the wii you get much more sense of achievement at pulling off great shots than you do on 360/ps3 counterparts, albeit until you arm starts hurting after too many attempted 110% drives!
Gameplay - 5/5
Graphics - 4/5
Multiplayer - 4/5
General presentation - 4/5
Overall - a solid 4/5
 Pure Quality, what golf has needed since the dawn of gaming. August 29, 2008

Just got this today, so not played many courses or the online part yet, but........ The game and control is excellent. I am an oldie, microprose golf on the amiga was the last golf game I played until the Wii sports game along. But TW09 is top drawer. The Wii controller makes all the difference. I have tried the mid and top difficulty settings and the difficult is indeed difficult but because you are controlling it like a true club then you feel with practice you will get there. It is not about clicking in time with a moving line or something equally unrelated to golf. The graphics are great even though the Wii is not HD and I am playing on a HD1024 tv. The commentary is good although I imagine you will turn it off at some point. As a family (networked thanks to the Wii) we are looking forwards to a virtual golfing tour.
