On the whole, the Tiger Woods game series have been pretty good so far. The latest version 09' is no different. The new game has many new features and many changes in the gameplay.
The brand new features in '09 is a set of skills. These basically depend on how you play, the better, the higher the skills and vice versa. If higher you're skill levels are, the easier it is to play well. Another new feature is the option to calibrate you're clubs to your own playing style in Club Tuner. For example, if you normally hook the ball, then the club can be set to cancel this out. The final new feature in '09 is the 4 ball online simultaneous Play. This feature allows an online 4 ball to play at the speed of a 1 ball by allowing everyone to hit at the same time. Each player's shot is marked by a coloured ball flight line within the hole. I found that there is a big disadvantage with this, although it can't be helped. Since 18 holes in simultaneous play would take about 30 minutes, and that there is a time limit on how long you can spend on each shot. If the phone goes off etc. thats you lost the match. There are other online types as well though; 9 hole golf, 3 hole mini match, 4 ball 18 holes etc.
In terms of career, its a good length, although it gets a bit boring after a while. This is because of the amount of events you need to win to complete the tour side of the game. The Tiger Woods "career" doesn't take nearly as long to complete although it can get quite tricky. To complete this career, you need to win enough events to challenge pros. There are a number of pros that you need to beat, including Tiger Woods at the top of it all. The higher up you get in the career, the harder it becomes. So by the time you are on to Tiger Woods's events. There are challenges like"hit 3 balls within 12 ft (total for all 3) from 100 yards away. Thats 4ft per ball !
The new game also features many new golf courses such as; Seeshan, St Andrew Old Course and more are available for download. In total there are around 10 courses, each made to a very high standard in terms of gameplay and graphics.
The final feature of Tiger Woods '09 is EA Sports Gamernet. On this databse, players can store up to 7 of their best drives, closest shots etc. Other players can attempt to beat these records, if they are the first to beat them then double EA Gamernet points are awarded, if not then its normal. The more EA Gamernet points you get, the more trophies you can unlock.
So thats it really, I really liked this game and think its well worth buying. Especially for multiplayer (this can be done locally with up to 4 people).
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
