Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox 360)

I hadn't played a golf game for about 5 years when i got hold of this. What a difference astounding graphics and the players are so life like both in looks and movement. I really enjoyed the customise mode where I attempted to create a player that looked like me ........ obviously I made him better looking and a lot slimmer !! But what a great feature.

Just like the real thing the only way to get to grips with this game is to complete the challenges to gain experience and unlock courses. Very frustrating times but well worth the effort. The long drive challenges are really tough to crack. So get into them and persevere it really pays off when you hit the circuits. Driving is the most difficult to master along with chipping. The power meter is basically your swing and your judgement is vital ,overswing and its curtains for you !! Judge the back swing and you will master the game.

Get all your kit from the pro shop from your socks to your driver, you have full control of all the kit you wear and use. As you improve and gain experience points more and more goodies unlock. All the latest brands are in there with some wacky clothing included.

Very difficult to master but hey thats the way it should be in my opinion. The courses are exact and realism is paramount in the games design. I am currently at scratch level and getting to grips with it, althought hte challenges just keep on coming. So get real on ther tour or take on tiger for a one off it's all in this game.

A must for all golfers, outstanding quality, great features, challenging but real.... just as it should be.
