Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
spent hours trying to figure out how to play. yes I can swing a club and hit the ball. however it there are many questions that are not covered. When playing I didn't realize that I would not be playing me with my own created person. I don't mind playing against Tiger but I don't want to be him. Like I said... not enough instruction. Thanks for asking

We keep waiting for the fairy dust and pixies -- that strange, unexplainable magic that transforms the extraordinary into perfection -- to work its stuff on the Wii remote. The controller has flexed its muscles in games like Wii Sports and we've been wowed again and again by its speedy accuracy in, say, first-person shooters. Nowadays, we look at many traditionally-controlled games and fantasize about how much better they might play with Nintendo's remote. But just as the pointer has showcased its strengths, so have its weaknesses become illuminated. Take, for example, a project like Wii Sports golf, whose simple presentation is complemented by equally simple controls -- a configuration, we submit, that could only succeed on Nintendo's new console. That is because the play mechanics which power this rendition of golf are so basic as to be ignored if not for an astonishingly refreshing control method -- so pick-up-and-play accessible that you can grip it and rip it, as they say, alongside mom, dad, and maybe even grandma, too. Intuitive or not, though, Wii Sports golf lacked depth -- you couldn't add spin or hook to your shots, for example -- and therefore die-hard simulation seekers looked to EA's Tiger Woods franchise for the real deal. Now, the simulation-heavy golfer is here and with it a deeper golfing experience than previously available -- no doubt about it. That noted, EA hasn't stumbled into the fairy dust and the pixies are still nowhere to be found. The developer has made clever use of the Wii remote and in some ways it does indeed feel like an extension of a real-life golf club. And yet, some old issues persist, from lacking one-to-one maneuverability -- Wii Sports has it beat, believe it or not -- to some truly arbitrary control inaccuracies, which keep us from declaring this the ultimate videogame golfer.Read full review
As I'm sure you've already seen on the other reviews, the graphics aren't the best but aren't really what i would call bad, more than anything being the Wii's lack of HD vs. everyone being usd to HD everything by now. The innovative Wii Trueswing feature is really what sets this installment of the T.W. franchise apart from the others. (and, btw, makes it TOTALLY worth the selling price of $30 new @ gamestop) Also, as stated in some of the other reviews, during your first few games the swing will OCCASIONALLY (only a few times) start before you start your foward swing, but after you get the hang of it, it pretty well stops being fussy altogether. Putting can be a little difficult, but if you've ever played real golf, then you know it's not much different than a real-life game... plus, if it were easy, it wouldn't be any fun and people would complain about it not being challenging enough. To sum up, worth the money, lots of fun with other people, and the minor bugs i'm sure will be worked out in 08. (i have faith in EA) thanks for hearing my two meager cents. enjoy your game.Read full review
I have owned and played tiger 07 for the past month. The wii control makes this game fresh all over again,however there are many inconsistances with the controls. Setting the control to easy you will never hit less than a straight shot, whereas setting to normal you will very rarely hit straight. Lastly to swing less than 100% is very difficult sometimes to get your player to swing at all takes a full swing, and player will sometimes swing all on its own resulting in a week shot. The concept is a good one and I am eagerly awaiting 08 due to its online capabilities and I'm hopeing to see some of the bugs worked out. With 08 scheduled to hit 8/20/07. I would advise to save your money for woods 08.
