Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
It's finally time for WII gamers to
experience one of the world's most popular and sometimes number one
golfers, Tiger Woods in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 that once again revolutionizes
the world of gaming golf, especially with the added interactivity and
features of the WII.
For those
who have been living in a Himalyan cave, Tiger Woods allows players to
either play a young Tiger Woods or create their own golfer to tour with
the world's bests in an attempt to become a golfing champion. So what is Golf? Golf is a game believed to
have been first played in Scotland, where each player has to hit his own
small ball into a hole using various types of clubs. The club is swung
at the motionless ball on the ground from a side-stance. Score is kept
(a count of the number of strokes required) with the smallest score
being the best.
The control system of this latest gold game
on the WII uses the WII remote to simulate a golf club which works
marvelously on the console. Similar to WII Golf, there is a meter that
tells you how much power you have put into your swing which is
determined by out fast you move. The other buttons are used to determine
a variety of actions such as directions, clubs and the like. Needless to
say, a perfect gaming experience!
Fortunately there is an in-depth tutorial mode that will
explain the control system to the gamer and once you have mastered these
lessons, you will soon be ready to take on the world's greatest golfers.
Included in this version
of Tiger Woods 07 are 18 different courses and 35 golfers. You'll see
famous PGA courses such as Pebble Beach and St. Andrews, as well as a
handful of fantasy courses. The game modes include the traditional Tiger
Challenge, as well as a PGA Tour season, a quickplay mode, and a
practice mode
Graphically, Tiger Woods
2007 looks a little dated when compared to the PlayStation 3 versions
with sparse background environments, however detailed characters and
animations. The golfers
themselves have quite detailed faces but once again their clothes are a little lacklustre
but all in all, a job well done.
One impressive feature
of Tiger Woods 2007 is the ability to create your own golfers with their
own unique facial features and body types which does reflect in the
gaming environment. The golfers also have various facial expressions
such as indicating their happiness or disgust at the shot they just hit.
As with all EA games,
the soundtrack of Tiger Woods 2007 is a professional affair which suits
the genre perfectly and match that with a variety of realistic golfing
sounds that also includes decent commentary by David Feherty and Gary
McCord, you will have one professional sounding game.
In conclusion, Tiger
Woods PGA Tour 07 is definitely one of the best golfing games on the
market which features almost perfect gameplay, amazing graphics and some
of the best damn golfing fun that I have had on a console in a long
time. It's also a great party game, especially with the WII control
system.
