Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 Description

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is the ninth in this top-selling golf game series, a series that has increasingly set the standard for the genre as it has continued to improve year on year since the first title way back in 1998. This time around,improvements-wise, its no different, with 21 new courses to choose from and the most PGA Tour Players to date, with 50 in total to choose from, including 21 of the world's top players, such as Tiger Woods, Ian Poulter, John Daly, Vijay Singh and Annika Sorenstam, the most decorated golfer on the LPGA Tour. And for extra realism and atmosphere, the commentating dream team of David Feherty and Gary McCord provide commentary and irreverent observations during every round. Alternatively, if you don't want to play as one of the Pros, then you don't have to. You might want to create your own unique character with the innovative character creation tool, which has been totally revamped for the 07 version of the game, with deeper modifications, more apparel, equipment licenses, and a wider range of specialty items. Famous courses in the game include The Four Seasons Resort Aviara, The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, Riviera Country Club, The National, and The K Club, home of The Ryder Cup 2006. One of the main new features in the game is the 'Team Tour Mode' in which you assemble a team, improve your team status, establish rivalries, and compete for the coveted EA Cup as you chase down 'Team Tiger'. Online, you can play with up to three of your friends or take part in online tournaments, which come complete with full stat tracking, league leaders, and more. What's more, you can get the latest sports updates and breaking news from the always-on ESPN ticker, ESPN Radio updates, and ESPNEWS. The previously solid dual analog swing system has been refined, and you can now choose from an alternate swing style featuring the Shape Stick, or the Standard style, which allows you to swing and putt with the left analog stick. Finally, when you just want a quick bit of fun or manage to snatch ten minutes to get a little practice in, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 boasts more mini-game challenges than ever before, so you can choose to work on your game or maybe just take on a friend with Elimination Mode, Battle Golf, One-Ball, and more...

The Wii is really good for allot of games however golf is not one of them, I hate the golf on Wii Sports and this is better but it is still really poor. I love golf in real life but when its on a console I prefer buttons o press and get a good shot rather than swinging it like a real club. Other people might enjoy it though, reason I've gave it a 3 cause it does have potential and I think allot of people who don't play golf will like it.

I only tried this for a few days before I returned it. I like golf games, but found both this and the golf on Wii sports a little annoying. I don't real play golf and so for all I know this was a very realistic simulation, but when I was swinging my club, it didn't seem to bear any realtion to how I swung, the ball went whereever it wanted. I spent a little time customising my player, but when you don't have realistic graphics (not to PC or PS3 standards) is there really any point trying to make it look real? I would far rather they had improved the game play than worry about how my character looks in the game. I also found the game very slow to play, which isn't ideal when you just want to play for a short time, you seem to spend more time waiting for cut scenes and watching other things than actually making golf shots yourself. I can't score it higher than a 2 for myself, as I didn't enjoy it at all.
