EA Sports - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 (PC)

Advantages: Lots of courses and tournament options.
Disadvantages: Not inspired.

It's inevitable after the recent success of Tiger Woods that he would be feature in a computer game. It can sometimes be a warning sign when a so called star is feature in such a product as it can mean the game is weak so they use a big name to try to sell the wares. This game is wholly unorignal, but it is a golf game so what do you expect really? You start by creating your player, choosing what he or she looks like, basic playing style and then ...
...To start with you need to prove yourself and so have to win a qualifying tournament in order to progress to the PGA tour proper, where the money can be won! You don't have to play 'proper' tournaments, there are options for matchplay, strokeplay, skins as well as the cup competition which involves playing as countries in a Ryder-cup like competition. But the tournament season is where the game is at it's best as you can mould your character into ... Read review

Advantages: Head to head internet play and course editing.
Disadvantages: Too many.

I thoroughly enjoy a good game of golf, and on the PC it's just as much fun. That is if you can find a sim that's at least half way realistic.

...joining a computer club, the normal retail cost is £39.99. Well when i first read about it, i really thought it would be the bees knees and so ordered it.

Advantages: Great Graphics
Disadvantages: Too Difficult

...decided to buy this as EA sports always make great sports games. I was very impressed with the menu as eveything was set out nicely and looked very tidy. There are many modes of play on Tiger Woods. But the first one i played was the career mode. Boy, was i in for a surprise. Every shot that i hit was either hooked, sliced, overhit or underhit. This really put me off the game. The career looked an excellent game but the difficulty is too high. ...
...game out there and this ranks as the most hardest. Anyway in single tournement mode you can change the difficulty level. I did enjoy the game at this level as i actually could hit some good shots. But i bought the game for the career mode and im disappointed it is too hard! And also it needs a 400+ proccessor if you want to run it at the best resolution!! ... Read review
