I thought with the online component and a PGA Tour that it would still be worth a buy.
It does have a lot of features to keep you busy. However, I doubt if the game will keep my attention long enough to play them.
I played the heck out of Hot Shots 3 and still enjoy hitting a round. This game is nothing like Hot Shots. In fact Hot Shots seems much more realistic to me.
This is the first TW game that I have ever played. In my first 9 holes I eagled from 158 yards away and holed my first par 3. Its kind of hard to explain but it didnt feel like i did anything to make the shots. You just pull back on the stick and push it forward. It seems like the ball is on a predetermined path and will go where it wants.
The ball physics just seem wrong. In Hot Shots I felt like I was making the shots. Again, Its hard to explain but it just doesnt feel right in Tiger.
Putting is a miserable experience in my opinion. Once you are on the green they all look the same. Small and Flat. With the grid on you can see that the green does slope. Again in Hot Shots you can see the breaks even without the grid and the greens look a lot bigger.
The way you judge distance is very frustrating. Im sure part of it was me and I could get better but I 3 putted from 5 feet several times. Once again, even putts i made didnt have that i did it feel to them.
Went online to see the tournament feature. Sure enough the leader was in with a 45 or 46 i cant remember. At any rate a farce of a score for me. I dont want compete in tourneys with those kinds of scores even if i am shooting them.
If you are sitting on the fence about this game I really cant recommend it. Shots up to the green are really easy. Just pull back on the stick and push forward and down the middle you go. If you hit it in the rough it because you either hit to long or too short. I never hit one far left or right. On the green is really frustrating. Just not put together very well.
I have not learned all the shots so that could make the game better. Im just not sure that I even care to learn to put fades and draws on.
