Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 Review
Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf has always been a good game somewhat marred by a few questionable design choices on the part of Electronic Arts. Quirks like insanely expensive equipment; top of the line putters and such would often cost millions of in-game dollars or using in-game money to purchase abilities skewed the realism factor that the game offered.
Tiger '08 seeks to reverse that trend by offering a game that realistically builds your character through training and experience. Now the focus is less on winning money and more on getting that perfect tee shot or nailing a long put. In essence the focus is back on the golf and the the periphery.
Another excellent feature is the "EA Gameface" which will allow you to take a digital picture of yourself (or anyone else for that matter) and import it into the game. I found it great fun to see my own likeness teeing off against greats like Tiger Woods, Vijay Sighn, or Colin Montgomerie.
All of the features from a "next-generation" game are present here including, full online integration, breath-taking visuals and well implemented game modes that cover the gambit of golfing.
My only gripe with this game would be the steep learning curve. Veterans and newcomers alike will undoubtedly find Tiger '08 monstrously difficult at first. Simply making shots that stay on the fairway is challenging until you character has built enough experience points to become competitive. And while I have no problem with putting in the time the games difficulty absolutely nosedives after a point making the game almost too easy. Some balance here would've made the game more enjoyable.
All in all this is another great gold game that continues to impress year after year.
