This is a pretty good game overall, but I did notice some things that I was not to pleased about. First let me start with the graphics, they are excellent. The fairways and greens are great. I didn't like the fact that you are not able to move left or right at the Tee's. Some of the fairway shot were not able to get the correct bounce because the crowd was in the way. Sometimes the wind is correct off the tee, but then the wind changes, but the wind gauge stays the same so your second shot is not effected the amount the wind gauge shows. Also I didn’t like the green cameras at all. The reason I say that is you are not able to take a good look at the greens from all angles to see all the breaks and slopes. The reason I bought this game is because I have had several different Tiger Wood games and I like the fact that the courses are so very close to the real thing it makes you think that you are playing the exact course.Read full review
The Pros: The game has excellent graphics and sound. It is fun to play. The Cons: (1) Putting is very difficult. The game doesn't allow you to put to a specific spot where the ball would stop if the ground was level (like in previous versions). Instead your putting target moves in increments (anywere from ~3 to 10 ft) and you must increase or decrease how hard you strike the ball to get the ball to roll the correct distance. (2) There are not many courses. You end up playing the same several courses over and over. Especially if you do the PGA tour and the Tiger challenge at the same time. Despite the couple of cons, it is still fun to play and I would recommend it. (Plus what choice do you have if you want a good golf video game?)
There are new courses and bigger crowds in this version, but what makes it better is how much more challenging it is. You can play according to your skill level by setting it to easy, balanced (default), hard or pro tour. The biggest differences that make it so challenging are: - Can't switch the swing stick to the right analog anymore...stuck with the left one. - Your aim gives you a very WIDE circle of where the ball will land, not a pinpoint like previously. So if you are pitching onto the green, your landing area might cover the whole green! - Putting is extremely difficult and the controller is super sensitive. I missed quite a few 2 footers with a small break...no gimmies here! - The fairways and rough play a lot like a real course...much more realistic than before
For those of you that are looking for a fun, competitive game, Tiger Woods '07 is a good choice for you. The formats for building up your player is fun and entertaining. The biggest downfall of this game is the server system it is on. Numerous times several people I know get kicked of the server for unknown reasons, or we get "reestablishing connection" messages. This can be extremely frustrating. The server appears to be inadequate for what it was designed for. But for those games you can complete, they are competitive and the graphics are realistic. I have personally played Pebble Beach and Aviara, along with Torrey Pines (not on this version), and found the games accurate right down to the placement of the trees and shrubs!!!

It allows you more control over what you need improvement on and let's you be more competitive. All in all, I would highly recommend this if you are a fan of any previous TW games.Read full review
