Oh man, where did the soul go? Besides the graphical fidelity and camera angles while the ball is flying, I think this game is a step down. Presentation feels very sterile… really lacking in the wackiness of the previous games. You could argue that from HSG3, the wackiness has been going down, but we’re at the bottom with this game. Also, caddies have almost no presence in this game! It was fun watching your caddy sprint towards the ball, or you move your camera to them and they wave. Hell, in HSG4, if the ball is headed towards them on a drive, they would say something funny and duck to dodge it. Where’s all that personality? Greg would tear Marta to shreds sorry for speaking the truth.
The control is great, but not as tuned as previous entries are. The ball rolls WAY too much making gauging your shot feels more imprecise. The marker is not where your ball is projected to land anymore (give or take 10 yards) but instead is where it’s gonna roll (give or take 30 – 50 yards). Also, they got rid of the contour lines during your shot so you have little to no idea what the terrain elevation is from where you’re hitting and where you want your ball to go. Sounds like a small change, but on more difficult maps… god. UH ALSO THE JAPANESE VERSION HAS KIRYU I WISH WE GOT THAT!

Fantastic LaD/Yakuza game. Well done RGG. Combat improvements were so good.

Still a lot of fun after all these years. I've also never played Tricky.
