This version of TW is really great -- great game play, excellent replay value, fun online play, and fantastic presentation. There are dozens and dozens of little improvements that really add up, making TW09 far and away my favorite console golf experience. The most significant features that make TW09 rock are 1) online simultaneous play mean no more hour-long matches and watching everyone take their shots, 2) visual swing-stick feedback indicator which shows exactly how you used the left stick, and 3) on-the-fly selection of either swing stick OR 3-click meter, for more precise control of those 30% type shots. I also love Hot Shots 2: Out of Bounds on the PS3, mainly for the online play and the overall presentation, but TW09 pushed that game down a notch for me, especially the much improved online play. I suggest you buy the game if you are a golf fan at all -- I rented it and realized it was a purchase within an hour. Fore!
