Tiger Woods 2005 PS2 - didn't improve with age!

I bought this game beause I really liked the 2004 version, which I played for countless hours. Upon starting the 2005 version I immediately found things that didn't seems quite as good as it's predecessor. It's seems that load times are longer between holes, and nobody likes waiting for something to load. Some of the graphics really don't give you a 3D feel, notably some trees are very poorly rendered and the sky, at times, has an odd texture with what seems to be a short draw-distance (the clouds don't extend far enough to the horizon.) Lot's of the commentators saying have been copied from 2004 and they don't always agree with what happens on the screen. After hitting a nice shot your character may break into a dance which is accompanied by music, but in you click through the dance scene in order to get on with the game, the music will still be playing completely out of sequence with what's actually going on in the game at the moment.
Not everything is bad though. I am probably being a little harsh with the rating I gave this game, it's not terrible, just not as good as last years. If you have 2004 saved on your Memory Card and you load this game, it'll recognize that you've played this series before and help you out with extra money and better skills to start off with.
If you've played and liked 2004, there's no need to buy this game, unless you get a great deal on it. If you've never played this series before and like golf this isn't a terrible game, however I'd recommend 2004 over 2005. One note, the online feature of the 2004 version no longer works, haven't tried playing 2005 online yet.
