Anyone else stoked for Super Swing Golf?

They finally got it in at gamestop just now... just got the call. Elebits and Far Cry showed up yesterday, but of course the game I preordered was nowhere to be found, lol. I'll post up some impressions here after a bit.
 
Sweet game. A lot harder than other recent golf games for sure... reminds me more of hot shots 1 in that sense. Only gripes so far is the music (already had to turn it off), and the lack of a speed-up or skip option. Having to watch replays in normal speed when your cpu opponent hits a good shot would be much more bearable if you could speed it up. Also, the game takes forever because of this.

Other than that though, I am having more fun playing this than any other golf game in a really long time. Controls are great, and the physics are very good.
 
They are GOOD. It isn't a full sim, which is expected since it isn't trying to be one, but it is night and day better compared to wii sports golf. Timing and getting the remote back to "square" at impact are crucial, but having good overall swing mechanics helps a lot. Out of my 3 buddies who have tried it so far, 2 of them who play golf did really well, and the other one who has never played couldn't get a straight shot to save his life.

The "ideal" swing is pretty darn close to a good swing on the course or range... you can eliminate any sort of wrist action (making it more of a arm-only swing compared to real golf), but everything else is pretty realistic about the physics.

I have played all of the hot shots games since #1, all of the tiger woods games since 2001, and a bunch of the smaller titles like swingers, mario golf, etc. This game beats them all on fun factor, and if they were to fix a few of the minor bugs in a sequel, this game would rule as the overall best by far.
 
The game is fun as hell. I enjoy the bright colors and fantasy courses. My only complaint is how the dam ball never goes as far as your landing cursor portrays. Great game, i'd give it a 8.4 out of 10.
 
You have to get the control & accuracy on both the character and the clubs you are using up to around 7 or 8 before that gets better.
 
Me and my friend prefer Wii Sports Golf, you can set power to whatever you want in Super Swing Golf, so that's not hard in it's place they set it up so you have to hit it straight a regular golf swing landed me a PANGYA! almost every shot, doesn't go as far as you think, or goes further. (without wind being a factor) You can use special hits and stuff too, you get Pang points or whatever to be able to use special hits or power hits. meh I give it a 8 out of 10. Also as my friend figured out all he had to do was swing the controller like a bat with 1 hand and he got Pangya almost every shot. I'm waiting for Tiger Woods.
