Tiger Woods PGA Tour '08

Still a great game but I miss alot of the customization of previous tiger woods games, and maybe I'm just out of practice but the swings seem to be a bit more touchy on the 360 compared to the ps2. All in all still a great game though.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour '08

The game was a gift for my 17 Yr. old grandson. He loved it. The whole family plays golf and will enjoy the game a lot. It probably would not be good for younger children under 5. I would reccomend it for any one who enjoys the game of golf as it helps pass away the winter days when no play is available.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour '08

Okay, first things first. The gameplay in Tiger Woods PGA Tour doesn't change all that much from year to year, and the 2008 edition is no exception. Sure, there are some new features and more golfers to choose from, but the improvements in gameplay itself might not be worth upgrading if you've already got Tiger 2007. Where this game does come through, however, is in the online options. The ability to play a match online is great, and Gamernet, which allows you to post challenges for other people to attempt and beat, is a lot of fun.

THE GOOD:

-If you're a fan of the franchise you'll enjoy the gameplay in Tiger 2008
-The inclusion of more LPGA golfers is a nice development for female players
-Gameface, when/if it works (the site seems to be unstable and many people haven't been able to make it work), allows you to use a picture of yourself to customize your golfer's face!
-online options are great, and the Gamernet challenges should appeal to people seeking producer points for

Tiger Woods PGA Tour '08

Ahhh Tiger Woods, I have never watched him play but I have watched myself play AS him. My grandfather and I started playing this game in 97 I think. The game has gotten a lot bigger and a lot better looking since then. I really like 08 but there are some things I hate. These few things are big enough to bother a lot of people. I will tell you everything I like and everything I did not.

Pros

This game a great looking. While graphics don't mean that much to me, it is still nice to have a good playing game look so great. The controls are very clean. I was worried about the putting because I didn't like 06 mainly for the putting controls. They put back the line showing you how the ball will go. Putting will take a little bit to get used to but when you do it will be very easy and you will probably like it a lot more than 07. There are a lot of different things to do in this game. I have not even gotten to do them all yet. I have been spending time playing the career mode.

...

It is very fun and actually challenging when you first start playing with the player you make. If you liked previous Tiger woods games, you will more than likely enjoy this years as well. You may even like this game if you did not like the ones before it. This game also has a new thing called Photo Game Face. This is a really cool new thing that allows you to take a picture of your face in front and side view, then you upload the pictures to the internet. EA Sports World dot com. You then download the picture onto your Xbox 360 and put it on a golfer. After this is done you can make your golfer look however you want. You can change the body size and shape., the hair, the clothes and everything else. It makes doing well with your character that much better being you. You can make like 10 characters. You can not play with them all during the same game which is something I will talk about later in the cons. As I said I have not done everything on this game yet but being as the first thing I did was this much fun I can only guess the rest will be just as fun.

Cons

Now for the few things I did not like about the game. Again these few things bothered me enough to almost make me sell the game. First let me talk about making this game personal. Well there are a lot of things you can do to make it just the way you like it. For example you can change the swing or the stance of your golfer. The big thing I like to change is the controls. I can not, for the life of me, use the left analog stick to hit. I have been using the right stick since I can remember. Now your probably saying "well how is this a con?" The problem is that you can only change any and all of the personal things, when your online! This isn't bad at all for me because I have a wireless adapter and a wireless router in my home. The problem with this though is my grandfather has fiber optic. I have not been able to set up a connection at his house. I think I finally got it working one day but then he (who has always used the left analog stick as compared to my using the right) had to use the right stick. Since I had my character set up to use the right. Everyone that played with me at his house, had to use the control scheme I set for my own golfer. This made it hard for my grandfather and uncle to enjoy or even play the game. Don't let this miss lead you. They can make there own golfer and set up the controls which ever way they choose but there is only one way to do so. They must play with there own character. As you read before in my pros, you can set up more than one golfer. You can not play with more than one at the same time however. The only way for each person to play with there own, personal, self made character. Is for each person to have there own xbox live account. My uncle wouldn't pay for it because he doesn't own an xbox. My grandfather is retired and likes to save his and my grandmothers money for important things. So unless all the people who wish to make the game personal, and play together with you, wish to pay 50 dollars for an online account. They can not make the game the way they want. It is like you buy the game, but unless you buy xbox live your just renting it. This reminded me of the iPhone and AT&T. Apple makes you use them even though they are like the loest ranked service around. When I found this out it made me so angry. Now even if he picks his golfer from the roster that is in the game. I have to either struggle to play with a control scheme I have never been able to do, or if somehow I finally get online and can get the controls the way I like. He has to play with my control scheme. Which he can not do.

So what it all comes down to is this. Tiger woods is a great game in many important ways. I is a blast to play and seeing your character build up his stats and get better makes you feel great. The online factor is very fun and it makes you feel good winning against another person. But there are things that should be looked at before the next Woods game is released. The way I see it is. If you have already payed for xbox live. You should be able to have as many people play with you at a time as you wish. Let Microsoft not let anyone play online whom doesn't have there own xbox live account. But don't stop people from playing with there friends and family in there own home.

No one can give this game justice by saying how beautiful it is. The graphics are simply the best I've ever seen in a sports game on the 360 or PS3. It's so real you can smell the fresh cut grass. Not only is this game amazing graphically, the gameplay is the best I've ever experienced in a Tiger Woods game. The courses are great, the many golfers to choose from is enourmous. If you're into the LPGA Tour, they have the best women golfers like Anika Sorenstam on here as well. I finally think that EA Sports is starting to understand how to make great games again. This is by far my favorite sports game on the next gen consoles. Even if you don't like golf, you will have a blast. My friend hates golf but loves this game. That's how great it is. Any sports geek should buy this without any hesitation. You will truly enjoy this Tiger experience.

this is the best game ea has put out. ea is finally starting to put out games that people will enjoy and play instead of spending more time complaining about them. the only problem i have had is in tiger challenges one of the challenges freeze making it so you cant complete that one. i dont know if im the only one with that problem. other than that this is the best golf game yet.
