Gameplay
The game contains all of the elements we are used to seeing from Tiger Woods' golfing game however it is much more refined and the golfing realism is just fantastic. There is a large number of different golfers and courses to play on so there is a good variety meaning you don't get bored easily. The gameplay is really good and the realism on this game is incredible so if you are a fan of golf and video games you will love this game I can guarantee it. There is a good number of new golfers such as Dustin Johnson and old ones like Rory McIlroy so there is plenty of options. The best part about this game is the Legacy challenge in which you can play as Tiger Woods throughout different stages of his life from his very early childhood to present day and even the future. This is really unique and is great fun so I'd recommend this game for that alone.

Multiplayer
The multiplayer is decent and is the same gameplay wise as the single player. The matches with friends are also very fun. However this is not as good of an improvement from the previous instalment and is lacking something in my opinion. There is not enough to keep you coming back to be frank, there is definitely room for improvement. A ranking system and more mini game type things would make it much better and keep you coming back for more. The multiplayer is still fun to play with friends though and the competition can get intense!

Graphics
The graphics on this game are very good, the greens are bold and luscious and the character models are very very good, especially Tiger Woods himself although this is to be expected. The colours are used to a very high effectiveness and the greens look so real. There has been a lot of really planned out work gone into the graphics and this can be seen by the level of detail put into the clubs for example you can really see every line. The close up replays look very good as well and make it awesome to re-watch your shots again and again. There is definitely room for improvement in regards to the spectators though as they often appear exactly the same or just different clothes. They could've made them look a but different and less block like but I suppose they decided to spend time and resources elsewhere which I fully understand. Screenshots are below for you to look at.

CONTROLS
The controls are very good on this game I especially like how you use the power of the pushback on the analogue stick to dictate the pace on a shot, this is good as the direction and then pace come from the same button so it feels more in sync when planning out your shot. I can take a few rounds to get into them as if you don't pushback in a straight line then the ball may drift left or right depending on the direction you slipped in, but once you're used to them they are very good controls so there is no problem here.
