But while Tiger2004 has an arcade-style button-tapping method of adding power to your swing and spin to your shots, Links 2004 has a traditional meter with an "overpower" zone, and you apply spin before the shot with the right analog stick.
Tiger 2004's ingenious scheme keeps you involved in the shot after the swing, while Links 2004 turns you into a spectator; it's a small and a huge difference at the same time.
The maximum strength of a putt in Tiger2004 is automatically set to wherever you place the aiming marker, which transforms the putting game into a test of your ability to read the green.
