The courses themselves can often get a bit ugly, but the frame rate is fairly solid and although it wouldn’t push the GameCube when it comes to visual splendour, there’s little to really complain about in this regard. The important thing is that everything looks decent, with nicely rendered golfers and realistic animation.
Tiger woods pga tour 08 update#
Given the graphical modesty of the ’07 instalment it would be rash to expect this update to have come on leaps and bounds. Several control methods are available (including the rather boring Nunchuk analogue stick swing system) but the standard mode is easily the most immersive and enjoyable of the lot. The game translates your swings and movements superbly, and the extra level of depth means Tiger Woods 08 shades the aforementioned Wii Sports golf. The controls lack the ‘wow’ factor they had in the ’07 edition, but things are still solid. The create-a-golfer mode allows you to fashion a virtual representation of yourself – complete with silly golfing trousers if you so wish – and the Career mode provides the opportunity to take said golfer on the PGA Tour, earning cash (which can be spent on new outfits and equiptment), renown and valuable experience along the way.
Some of these games don’t really warrant extended play but they’re fun enough to represent a mild diversion from the main body of the game.Īs far as solo play is concerned, things are pretty much the same as they were last year. Tiger Woods 08 is no exception, and is packed to the rafters with multiplayer mini games – perfect ‘after pub’ entertainment. EA - like so many other companies - has clearly come to the conclusion that the Wii is a social console and has therefore tailored their output to reflect this. Putting these initial disappointments aside, the new game modes are encouraging. Surely there’s enough space on a Wii disc to have included the fictional courses as well? Clearly, EA thinks otherwise. Golf fanatics will no doubt be over the moon with this, but to those of us that aren’t fans will be none the wiser. These courses have now been removed – presumably in an effort to make the game more faithful to real life – and replaced with real-world locations. Tiger Woods 07 contained several fantasy courses, which were fun despite their lack of authenticity. A similar change has swept through the course list.
