Re: Anyone have Tiger 08 Wii?

Bought it for both the 360, and the Wii, and I've played the 360 version a ton, and found the Wii version pretty average. I'm not super big on graphics, but this is one game that just looks hideous on the Wii. The swing mechanics seemed ok, but there were a lot of unintentional half swings. I'm sure I'll delve into more, but the 360 version is leaps and bounds better in my opinion.

I have it for the Wii, and I've had a good time with it. I had a little trouble with the swing at first, but it was because I was swinging a little too hard. Once I toned it down a little, it helped out greatly.

The game doesn't look near as bad as everyone else is saying. It's nowhere near the XBox 360 version in terms of graphics, but it's better than the PS2. The graphics are fine to me.

I haven't jumped into the modes much, but I've played quite a few regular style rounds (match play, stroke play, etc.).

So far so good in my opinion. I will note I can't compare it to the XBox 360 version because I haven't played that one. But I know I'm having fun with the Wii version.

Re: Anyone have Tiger 08 Wii?

Just rented it....MUCH better than 07. I couldn't get a consistent swing at all with 07, but this is much improved. I'm a lefty with a slice in real life, and my first swing in the game was a slice.

I can look past the graphics because I want a game that actually mimics a real swing. It's not as slick as Wii Sports golf with the swing (in that you can just rock your swing back and forth), but it "feels" more 1:1 than 07...which wasn't even close.

I just can't play a golf game again with the swing stick. I do with it was online, however...

Re: Anyone have Tiger 08 Wii?

I have it on the Wii, but haven't had the time to play much of it yet (same with my copy of Madden 08).

Thus far, I have to say that I like the swing mechanic and aiming technique, the front-end presentation, and the sound. The Game Face feature on the Wii is AWFUL, and not even fully implemented. They should have just left this feature out.

I need to play this a ton more for complete impressions, but this game seems like a lot of fun, depsite any "polishing" warts.
