At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I am once again amazed at how great the game looks and am still floored that this is on a handheld. Graphics are easily the most impressive thing about the game, even if the details have been slimmed down. Character models have received the biggest hit, but still look great. You can still tell who is who and even get a sense of their "mood" (so to speak). Courses have also received a bit of a reduction, mostly in terms of texture quality, but still retain their realistic look. I'm not enough of a fan of golf to say if the courses accurately reflect their real-life visages, but I've yet to hear any hardcore golf fans complain, so I'm sure that's a good sign.
My favorite graphical aspect of Tiger Woods was the inclusion of the "Game Face" feature. This mode is basically a set of sliders and modification attributes that let you put yourself, or a fanciful likeness of yourself, into the game and match up against the pros. The system isn't as deep as it is in the consoles, but there's still enough available that you can make a reasonable likeness of whoever you're going for.
One of my main reasons for not liking golf is that you have to remain quiet during a match. For anyone who knows me well enough, this really isn't me. Tiger Woods reflects this by limiting the musical tracks to only showing up in menus. In game, you're treated to calm, soothing ambient sounds of the green and the commentary of David Feherty and Gary McCord. Commentary is nice and is as close to a real-life telecast as you could expect from the current generation of systems. Feherty takes on the "funny" side of the duo, while McCord is the straight man.
