Best Version of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Yet!!,
This game is truly epic. Realizing that I will likely never have a chance play the real Augusta National course, I am in love with the fact that I can play and replay the home of the Masters Tournament as much as I like. I am also digging the new career mode as now you start out as an amateur golfer, make your way through the Nationwide tour before actually getting to the PGA Tour. Should really deliver a sense of accomplishment. I wasn’t sure I’d like the new caddie they have included, but I am really liking it after playing a couple of rounds. I played the game off and on for years and I never really though of using draw and fade or even spin but after seeing the caddie recommendations you can’t help but use it and it’s only benefited my game…especially when I hit custom shots. A++ EA. Good work on this game. I will totally get my money’s worth.

|The Masters Rules!,
I’ve been waiting for the Masters for a long time and this game didn’t dissappoint. There’s so much cool stuff in here about the Masters. There’s a new career mode where you have to try to reach the Masters on the PGA Tour. It’s much more deep than in past years. I like trying to go through all the tours like a real golfer. Also, there are Masters challenges where you have to beat challenges of real golfers that are really fun. You can unlock behind the scenes stuff of the masters if you can ‘master’ them. I have only Mastered one so far but I will try to get them all. So much to do and disc golf is back too! I love playing disc golf. There are a ton of courses to play to. Lots to do here. I will update this review as i play through more of the game.

|SO MUCH AWESOMENESS – IT JUST GOTTA HAVE TigerBlood IN IT!,
When I was a university student I remember virtual reality Golf parlors to be the latest fad. So, during their lunch hour, executives would swing their irons in front of projection screens in order for them to improve their weekend play. Now, more than a decade later, the same experience can be reproduced in our living room.
FINALLY, A SHOT AT THE COVETED GREEN JACKET!
The game includes numerous golf courses, including (finally) the… sanctum sanctorum, the Augusta National Golf Club, where The Masters take place.
Appropriately, the career mod has been renamed “The Road to the Masters”. You start low, aiming high and by either the hard way (working your way up the Amateur ladder) or the shortcut (duplicating 3 -out of possible 9- of either Tiger Woods’s or Jacks Nicklaus’ Moments) you can get invited to The Masters.
Once you get there though, will you be good enough to be fitted with the Green Jacket?
IT IS NOT REALLY A GOLF GAME WITHOUT A CADDIE, IS IT?
A caddie is much more than a golf-club carrier. He or she is actually a teammate and that is why a good caddie will make the difference between winning and losing.
You can option out of the caddie advice on clubs, power and path to follow – but I would not advise it, at least not for beginners.
HAVE Balance Board WILL GOLF BETTER
Now that both the Xbox and the PS3 have their own versions of the Wii remote (whereas, at the same time, enjoy higher resolution graphics), why should one buy this game on the Wii?
Well, for two reasons. First, the Wii version of the game comes with 25 courses (almost twice as many as in the Xbox/PS3 versions) as the Wii, thankfully, is not DLC-friendly. And if that were not important enough, the Wii has a clear edge when it comes to the actual gameplay as well: standing on the Balance Board will check (and correct) your swinging posture!
Keeping your eyes on the (imaginary) ball and then swinging your MotionPlus! remote works like a charm – once you get the hang of the physical movement/on screen mechanics.
Now, you could play the game from your couch (by attaching the nunchuck extension), but I think that misses the whole point of a golf simulator, does it not?
PRESSED FOR TIME? TRY ONE OF THE MINI GAMES!
Tired of the pressure of getting invited to the Masters? Not to worry, the game includes a number of fun mini-games, such as Mini Golf, Disc/Frisbee Golf, Practice Facility and Golf Party.
Overall, this is a great Golfing game, a game that fits the Wii capabilities like a glove and one I greatly enjoyed!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
