Hmm, I've had this game for over a month and I like it a lot.
Sure there are a couple of imperfections here and there.
Like the stylus missing or mistaking certain input. Like trying to grab the cross-hair for choosing your area of where you want to get the ball to go and instead it game simply gives you a closeup of the area a couple of yards away.
Or when you are on the swing screen. Sometimes after adjusting the spot where you want to hit the ball and you try to grab the club, the game still thinks you're trying to change where to hit the ball.
But these are minor things which are overcome by simply letting go of the screen and touching it again.
it initially seems like the game is taking great care to determine the speed of your swing, but after a few games, you'll realize that regardless of how much you try to vary the speed of your shot, it will almost inevitably end up traveling at roughly 70, 90, or 110 miles per hour. There's also no way to choose any type of shot other than a full swing, which means that the shape of your shot is always determined by which club you're using.
The same basic concept of drawing a line to swing the club applies to the putting mechanic in True Swing, though it takes away the speed factor and adds a guideline on the upper screen that makes the entire short game achingly easy. All you have to do is line up the shot, check against the guideline on the upper screen, and repeat until the guideline is lying on top of the cup.
That's just plain wrong.
The first couple of holes are very easy, that's certainly. Simply because the the green's and basically the entire courses are pretty much flat when you start out.
In the later clubs there is much more variety and simply following the line will get you very, very little.
They also make it seem as there is not much there but the bare basics. But I found out the customization of the golf equipment which you have to buy using money you earn from tournaments, makes a big difference in the way you choose to play the game.
There are lots of courses and the way the game controls with the stylus does make a big difference in a positive way.
The graphics are nothing more then pretty nice, I'll give them that. And the music has grown on me since I started playing the game.
It's in no way the perfect golf game. But I personally agree much more with the solid 8 than with the meager 6 score.
