If you want a simulation, I don't think this has ever been the game to get. Maybe on the Wii it's a little better (from what I heard). It's a fun "pick up and play" game that can be simple or fairly complex. My wife even likes to play and it's nice that it can be a short game, or a little longer (if you play all 18 or a tourney). For what it is, it's definitely fun. I wouldn't have paid full price for it, but I tend to like things that are more simulation than arcade. I've just started playing it, so I can't comment too much on the features or a lot of the options, but the career mode and mini games seem to be a lot of fun, and again, either a short or long experience.
Fun game. If you've ever played a Tiger Woods game then you've played this one; there's very little change from one year to the next. That said, the visual presentation looks very good and it's very fun to play. Good selection of golfers and I love being updated on the status of tournaments in career mode (movement along the leader boards will be mentioned by the broadcasters). The broadcasters don't do a great job but it's not terrible either, though the created golfers' voices are. Definitely a good game though!
Much like the actual game, playing Tiger Woods 10 is seemingly simple on paper, but far more challenging in execution. It should be so very easy to pull the left joystick back and push it forward straight, especially after hundreds of attempts. Alas, it proves continuously difficult. And that is one of the reasons this game continues to entertain. Tiger Woods 10 is my first golf simulation on PS3. I've seen many nitpickers complaining about differences between real play and this game, and they are all generally correct. It doesn't matter. This is a fun, addictive game with a great many entertaining features and options. Although this doesn't matter much to me, characters can be customized on dozens of criteria, including thousands of variations of skin tone, hair length and style, eyebrow features, chin, aging, clothing, and on and on. Once created (or, once you pick one of the ready-made characters), you can gain skills and money via dozens of tournament challenges. These not only add money and skill, they open 16 courses for future tournament play. A tournament calendar features dozens of tournaments if you prefer the 18-hole scenario to the shorter challenges. I recommend gaining skills in the tournament challenges first, then getting into tournaments. Otherwise, like me, you might find yourself 18 over after the first round! Yes, early rounds can get that ugly, and worse. There are also a number of shorter games, like T.I.G.E.R., a golf version of horse. These are great to use with kids, especially those who think golf is the most boring game in the world. Online play options are impressive. Engage a friend, or a complete stranger, in anything from a short 3-hole challenge to a full tournament. Play simultaneously, where you see the players ball paths but don't have to wait, or play the traditional one-after-another sequence. Capture and share particularly terrific, or horrific, shots using GameTracker. Play "alongside" actual PGA players in live tournaments. Engage in any of the weekly, daily or other tournaments, all grouped by skill. There are a TON of options in this game, and I've enjoyed learning many of them. Negatives? I'd definitely change a few things. The absolute worst thing about this game is the commentary. The pair of announcers (Kelly something and a man, whose name escapes me, are grating at best, and erroneous or at odds with one another more often than makes any sense. "That one's on the green, Kelly." "Check again, Tom, that one's headed for the sand." Honestly, they correct one another more than a bickering couple in marriage counseling. Prepare for insults as well. "I've seen some bad putts, and that was one of them." I like the idea of commentators, but the execution of commentators in TW10 is annoying and unsatisfying. Also, I'd like to see some options for shorter Tournament Challenges. Many are 9 or 18 hole challenges, and if you miss by a shot - boom - back to the beginning. A quibble, but an option for some shorter challenges would be good. If you like video golf, you'll like this game. Lots of solo and multiplayer options, both online and local.Read full review
Best golf video game every! Great putting system and physics simulation, example: you should aim slightly right (if you're right handed player), club will close when hitting the grass thus closing the clubface. There's only 2 things I can think of that could be changed on the game to be a true simulation: 1. There should be a physical consequence when using the power shot (Keep on hitting x while on the back swing). In my opinion you're only allowed to use it a few times a round or else there would be some physical consequence. In real life you only hit it more than 100% a few times when needed, such as reaching the green in two on a par 5. 2. The power training (with the coach) should be tuned instead of just hitting a target, maybe it would be better if there is a certain yardage you need to exceed while being in the fairway (or green) to succeed. I sometimes over shoot the target and I don't get it if you are really just aiming for power. :) Overall, I love the game!Read full review
These old Tiger Woods Games are the most realistic. They have the 3 click system which is the best for me. I have some of the newer golf games, but I always go back to these older games.
