Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Tiger Woods returns and in better form than his recent Ryder Cup letdown, with a whole host of refinements and additions (and the odd subtraction) to the winning PGA Tour formula.

The lowdown:
The problem with updating a golf game every year is that, unlike most other sports, nothing much changes in terms of players or courses. Despite that, this update tries its best with new courses, new golfers, an expanded online mode and an even better create-a-golfer mode. The only downside to all this is that the main "Rivals" single player mode from last year’s game has gone, replaced with the inferior "Team Tour" mode. It doesn’t affect the selection of other modes though, including new options "Elimination" and "OneBall" and the four player "Bloodsome and Greensome". It may not reinvent the wheel but it does at least add some very welcome decoration to it - and thankfully not in the style of most golf clothing.

Most exciting moment:
The best bit about PGA Tour is still its simple and accessible controls. There are two main controls, the first uses the left analogue stick to swing and set the power and the right aims where you hit the ball. The alternative control places the hook and slice on the right stick, if that’s how you prefer it.

Since you ask:
The Xbox 360 version of the game became infamous as the first game to allow you to unlock the extra features by paying money via micro-transactions on Xbox Live Marketplace. You can, however, still unlock them the honest way on all the different versions.

The bottom line:
A minor update to the world’s favourite golf game. -HARRISON DENT

Customer Reviews

scores a hole in one!!
the first tiger woods game to arrive on the ps3-and its a very good start-super graphics-numerous games modes and a good selection of courses-a great start to high definition golfing!!

Boring
I've had all the tiger woods games since 2003 on each of the playstation formats right up to this one on ps3. For me the problem with the game is that it hasn't changed almost at all over the last 2 years. This wasn't a real problem in the earlier games as they introduced new fantasy courses that made playing interesting but this year there aren't any real unusual courses. The same old pebble beach, St Andrews etc. it looks to me like they found a way to get people to pay £40 for no reason.

Tiger impresses again
I've played Tiger '06 on a friends XBOX and enjoyed it and this was an early purchase on my new PS3. After starting to play for the first time i was very disappointed with the graphics, i don't think they're any better than on the XBOX. I haven't played it on the XBOX since and maybe i was just expecting too much, maybe they're better than i think. Once you get into playing it the graphics just don't matter as your concentrating for your next shot, gameplay's always more important, you really have to concentrate on not hooking or slicing depending on what difficulty level you're on. You can fine tune the difficulty levels perfectly. The tiger challenge mode is alot better than on the XBOX, their's alot more to get through before meeting tiger in the last match. The training of your golfer does take a bit too long. But, that's really the only fault, if you can call it a fault, i can find. All of the pro players are recognisable as on the other versions. This really is worth getting if you like your golf/sports games.
