The only thing I see wrong with this review is that for some reason the writer is giving credit to Nintendo for securing the rights to use Augusta. EA Sports is the creator of the game, not Nintendo. When a console manufacturer creates a game it is specific to that console e.g. Halo for Xbox 360, Medal of Honor for Playstation 3, and the Mario franchise for Nintendo. This particular game francise is available for all of the aforementioned consoles and is compatible with the Playstation Move. If you are going to give credit to a company for improving a game please give credit to those who deserve it namely the creators of the game.
