Above-average golf game(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: The graphics won't blow you away but the gameplay is fun/addicting. Gameplay is basically the same as the previous versions. There are three main gamemodes for single player: PGA Tour, Train My Golfer, and Tiger Challenge. The equipment is still weak and could use an upgrade (I refuse to play with EA clubs, balls, shafts, polos, etc.). They added the FedEX Cup into the gameplay which is cool. I would still pay the $60, it's worth the money. |

These Guys Are Good(Review From Amazon) | General Comments: Real-life golfers and folks that don't play golf in real life will enjoy Tiger Woods PGA Tour '07. But if you are a golfer and you are at all familiar with the players and the 12 courses offered in this game, you will find this game most enjoyable.
The courses/players are modeled after the real things, and they are indeed designed to play just like them too. You get Pinehurst, Turnberry, Carnoustie, TPC at Sawgrass, Pebble Beach, Firestone, Glen Abbey, The Prince Course, Spyglass Hill, Riviera, Bandon Dunes & St. Andrews...or you can tell the game to choose a random 18 (or 9).
You can choose to play as some popular golfers that all look like perfectly created CGI versions of the real players [with the exception of Colin Montgomerie who looks more like a scary character out of the other game that I'm currently fascinated with, Resident Evil 4 (PS2 format)]. But the best and most fun way to play is creating your own golfer that you save; then improve your skills through the driving range, practice games and challenge matches.
Besides stroke, match and skins play, there are several other game modes to try (which, frankly, I have not done yet).
It is vital that you play in the aforementioned three modes prior to joining the PGA Tour which is, just like the real thing, a series of Thursday through Sunday four day events (you don't really have to play them on Thursday through Sunday).
Completing practice games and events rewards you with improved skills and cash to spend in the pro shop on items that also help improve your skills.
David Feherty and Gary McCord (the popular PGA TV announcers) narrate your game play during matches. And their commentary can be colorful at times (annoyingly so especially when you hit a bad shot).
I chose to work on my approach shot and putting at first as opposed to power. It has reaped big rewards. By doing that I'm already finishing rounds under par and kicking the butts of the likes of Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen and the one and only Tiger Woods. (Then I put down the SIXAXIS, see my actual clubs in the corner and think about the countless rounds of real golf in my future where just breaking 100 is a banner day.)
Up to 4 people can play at a time (my 5 year old crushed me yesterday; he played as Tiger; I played as me), and online play is an option (which I have not done).
Tiger Woods PGA Tour '07 on the PS3 can kill an hour quick if you've got one to spare. Fastest 18 I've ever played. When you're playing with more than one person, set aside a good amount of time if you go a full 18 holes.
Overall, this is a terrific game that is addictive as you are driven to improve your custom golfer's skills. It's great fun for the whole family. Add it to you cart.
Be the ball.
