Well...I finally broke down and bought it. I have every year since 2003 so I guess it is no suprise. Got it for the XBox this time instead of the trusty PS2.
My overall reaction is: same old, same old.
Nothing really new to note. The XBox controls are far and away ahead of the PS2 though. Not sure if I could go back now. The turbo button being the A button instead of a trigger makes it a lot easier. Seems like the stick isn't as random either and stays the same all the time. On the PS2 you need to adjust the trigger a lot more to keep the shot going straight with out shanking it. I'm not sure if this is just on XBox or both now, but it really makes the game too easy. I never shank it even with very low stats.
Overall PGA Tour 2004 is still the best one.
