    Tiger Woods 10 Preview (Wii): What's Hot and What's Not

    When EA announced that Tiger Woods 10 (TW10) would be shipping in early June, golf fans everywhere rejoiced. And fans of the Nintendo Wii are even more excited since this year's game marks the debut of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral.

    The looming launch of the MotionPlus peripheral has created a lot of buzz for the latest Tiger Woods game. So could TW10 finally be the simulation sports Wii title that dazzles the "hardcore" sports crowd? We will have an answer to that question in a couple weeks. In the meantime, let's take a look at some of the hype surrounding the game.

    Why is this preview titled "XBox 360" and not "Wii"?

    I have played an early beta of TW10 for the Wii at Tiger Woods Community Day and I can tell you that the swing with the Wii Motion Plus is outstanding. Best Golf swing interface I have ever played with. Too bad the Wii's graphics capabilities are so wek compared to the PS3/360, but it does a serviceable job....

      I've been waiting for a true motion swing for so long in a golf game I don't care if the Wii graphics look like Pong it's still the only version I'm gonna buy. It's like whne I first got my Logitech driving wheel and started playing Gran Turismo and Formula 1 with the wheel. You just can't go back to the joystick and I used to play with the joystick all the time before and thought it was great but now I find it unplayable.

      DivotMaker I guarantee if you get the Wii version and the 360 version the 360 game will be collecting dust if the Wii online is any good.

        I'll echo Divot's question... is this a Wii or and XBox 360 preview? I

        I don't think anyone could draw any conclusions about the Wii Motion Plus' integration into Tiger Woods 10 until they've actually laid hands on it. If one is having trouble grooving a swing, I'm sure they could drop down a difficulty level or two until they find something comfortable.

          I'll retract my opening comment, as I see the title has now been corrected. However, I think it's a bit misleading to use XBox 360 screen shots in a Wii preview.

            Agreed...there is a sizable difference between a Wii screen and a 360/PS3 screen....

              Are there screens in the article I'm not seeing? Or do you mean in the Image section?

                  The images are gone now ChaseB. They were in embedded in the article when I read it earlier this afternoon.

                      Just because the guy previewing the game sucks at golf doesn't mean the rest of us should have to put up with another easy Tiger Woods game. We want a challenge. Previewers like you are part of the reason Tiger Woods has been more arcade than sim. If you're too uncoordinated to swing the wii remote the rest of us shouldn't have put up with a dumbed down version of golf to suit toddlers and nerd previewers. The swing mechanic should be realisic. If it is then I'm getting this game for the Wii.

                          There's multiple skill levels so it's pointless to argue about this.

                            I've got to really question what exactly I said in my preview that deserved a personal attack?

                            I'm extremely excited about the game, and simply pointed out a concern I have with Wii motion plus- I have not yet played the game, so this concern may not even be valid once I get my hands on the final build.

                            Please keep the negativity off the board, especially the unwarranted personal attacks.

                              Do I have to be on the PGA Tour to be able to swing a golf club?

                              Don't take this as a personal attack, for all I know you're probably a nice guy so I apologise for insulting you, but it annoys me when people complain about a mechanic that is designed to make a game more realistic. The majority of us on these boards don't want an arcade game, we want a challenging experience.
