Get Your Claws Into Tiger Woods '10

Advantages: The controls are great
Disadvantages: Graphics are fairly average

...The 'Tiger Woods' series has set the benchmark for golfing videogames over the years, and as someone who enjoys a round or two in real life, I'm usually the first to buy the new title upon its annual release. What I usually look for in a golf game Is an authenticity to the actual experience, and however good the Tiger Woods franchise is, it has in the past lacked realism due to some dodgy swing mechanics and less than accurate controls. This year's incarnation, 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10', sorts out these issues via a complete overhaul of the control system with the addition of Nintendo's new 'MotionPlus' add-on. For those of you who haven't heard of 'MotionPlus', it's a small white box which clips onto the underside of the Wii controller, and increases the precision of the device around eight-fold. When purchased on its own, the Motion...

  Will you be the next Tiger Woods?

Advantages: Great online play
Disadvantages: Have to buy extra courses.

..., this doesn't apply to me as I am equally as bad at this game whatever the conditions. Creating your golfer In order to play Tiger Woods to its full potential, you need to first create your golfer. There are two ways of doing this, the simplest way is to go through a series of attributes for skin colour, hair colour/style, eye, colour style, etc. This is relatively simple to do but doesn't create a golfer that bears much resemblance to yourself. Tiger Woods 10 uses something called Photo Game Face which has appeared in the last 2 or 3 versions of the game. Photo Game Face allows you to upload front and side face photos of yourself to easportsworld.com and the game will then try and create your face based on the facial features on your photos. I found this wasn't all that accurate as my golfer looked orange, like he'd spent half...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (PS3) is OK

Advantages: Good new putting system. Good career gameplay.
Disadvantages: Similar to previous games. Graphics feel sightly animated.

...improvements end with just more spectators surrounding you being the most obvious difference. For those of you who have played a tiger woods? game before, the swing used to be too easy as you didn't have to follow through straight. Now everything is recorded and is made clear on the screen so that you can see where you have gone wrong. The graphics, in my opinion, seem to have gone beyond looking realistic and sometimes making it look too computerized, like it is animated. However, the graphics are still really good and improve enjoyment of the game. There are new game play modes, like new years. However in my opinion they don't add too much to the game but a different way in playing golf itself by challenging yourself. The one thing that I think lacks from these games are different courses as you basically get the same ones each year...

Wii! Time to play Tiger for Real

Advantages: The closest you will get to the real thing without going outside
Disadvantages: As soon as Tiger Woods '11 comes out this game is going to join the ranks of the trade in games.

...As 2010 is fast approaching its time for a new Tiger Woods game to hit the shelves, and this time round with the release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 EA Sports have come up trumps. Specifically I will be looking at the Wii version of this game but as with most cross platform games a lot of the features will be relevant to other systems. I have been a fan of golf simulation games since before I even started playing the game for real and have bought the latest version of the Tiger Woods game each year alongside some other less well known games out there. The Tiger Woods golf series has been going since the release of Tiger ?99 back in 1998 and has since grown in popularity and features over the years with each version outstripping its predecessor. Once the Tiger series took to the Wii with Tiger Woods ?07 the final boundary...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008

Advantages: Realistic Courses
Disadvantages: No Augusta National.

...With each year comes a new Tiger Woods game and each year you think just what can they do to improve the game further and each year they manage it! Tiger Woods 2008 has the most realistic graphics yet. The game offers just about every form of golf you can imagine and is great fun if you just want to have a mess around with your friends; however the best part of the game lies in the career mode where you create your own golfer and go about being your skill levels in different parts of the game to a standard where you can compete with the great man himself. The career mode offers the opportunity to compete on the PGA tour with the only disappointment being a lack of Augusta National and the Masters, as well as advancing through PGA tour seasons you can take on the Tiger Challenge which involves mini games of golf against other Pro...

Tiger Woods PGA tour 2007

Advantages: New game modes added, Play as multiple players
Disadvantages: Graphics look a bit dated, Commentary bug

...I have played every Tiger Woods game since they started to come out many, many years ago. In the latest title they have ditched the "Legends" element of the game where you get to play old greats such as Arnold Palmer / Seve Ballesteros etc and concentrated on developing new game modes. At first i was un-sure about the new games but after I had played them a few times I was hooked. The games are: PGA Tour Season mode: This is one of the remaining games from previous titles. As before you play the calendar entering events to build up prize money and to improve your skills. Elimination mode: You play as part of a team of golfers against another team. A player from opposing teams takes it in turns to play a hole each against each other. After every hole the loser is eliminated from the team. Traditional Games: Play on your own...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 Wii Review

Advantages: Realistic shot swing, when it works. Up to date golfing roster.
Disadvantages: Putting

...Another year, another Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. The standard of the Tiger Woods games over the years has been relatively high, with Tiger's game being better than most other golf sims. This review focuses on the Wii version of PGA Tour 09. The game starts with a tutorial, which is very helpful for begginers, allowing you to get used to the sometimes fiddly controls for whacking the ball with your club. Once you get going and get a few rounds under your belt, you start to realise the cons of the game. For one, the power bar is very hard to control, more often than not hitting it under or over your target power. Often, to achieve a decent hit you have to alter your swing so that it becomes a more unrealistic style, which dissapoints as, being a golf sim, realism is key. But when you hit the ball bang on with a life-like swing, you...

  MEET THE NEW BOSS, WORSE THAN THE OLD BOSS

Advantages: Moves the franchise on, Introduction of Weather
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the Wow factor of previous incarnations

...Thank the lord for video games; only in a virtual world can this thirty something with limited sporting skills pit his wits against the great and the good in various sports. In football games I can cross like Beckham and score like Rooney; in racing games I can go head to head with the likes of Button or Hamilton; and in golfing terms I can swing like a demon as I try to outplay Tiger Woods. For someone who thoroughly agrees with the Mark Twain quote declaring golf to be ?a good walk spoilt?, Tiger Woods PGA tour 10 for the Xbox 360 is as close to playing the actual game I wish to get. Swapping a five iron or putter for a joypad means I can indulge my fantasies of being a top class sportsman, without being laughed off the course after one errant shot too many slices the ball every which way but towards the hole. So, how does...

Tiger Woods 09: the best golf game ever made

Advantages: gameplay graphics career online play multiplayer capabilities ease of use
Disadvantages: you need to know a bit about golf --- sound effects can be annoying

...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...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 Review -Excellent Game

Advantages: Excellent game modes, graphics superb, great all rounder
Disadvantages: Putting slightly difficult

...I recently brought the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 Game on the XBOX 360 and found it really enjoyable and extremely challenging. Its graphics are superb, I was amazed as to the extent they went with them, it was as if you were seeing the courses in real life. There are 12 courses to play with also 17 game modes to go through, for example stroke play, match play and foursomes. Just a few of the courses are Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, Glen Abbey just to name a few. Broadcast commentry is played out as the game goes through the different stages. There are also the other PGA tour players who are in the game also. All the stokes are done through the mini joysticks on the remote. I have the wireless remotes so it gives easier movements without feeling restricted. The only slight draw back is the mild difficulty in the putting. They have...
