Tiger Wiids 07
I loved Wii Sports Golf but that just whet my appetite for a dedicated golf game. Golf is ideal on the Wii but do you go for Arcade or Simulation golf? That is the question!

In Tiger Woods 07 you have a choice of both to be honest, but it's the replication of the golf swing that makes this more of a simulation title. You need patience with this game, not unlike real golf. You're not gonna create a player that looks just like you, buys some clubs then walks up the Links for the first time and shoots 4 under!

Practice is rewarded in Tigger Wiids, and it'll not be long before you can hit 300 yard straight drives while you replicate the great mans swing. It's really quite satisfying!

OK, graphics aren't brilliant, but they do the job and look ok in composite progressive scan at 480p. Swing mechanics using the WiiMote works very well (99% of the time) provided you've lined your shot up and selected the right club (remember to check the default setting by pressing 'A' which isn't always spot on). Putting can be tentative however and needs plenty practice before you can sink 30 foot 'snakes'!

Tiger Wiids 07 is a good first effort from EA as they develop (aka cash in) on the Wii's popularity and sheer quality motion sensing technology. I would expect the 2008 version to have ironed out a few putting niggles with the WiiMote and look more 'next gen', but the v.07 has a plethora of game modes, 18 courses, decent sound and commentary and obviously slick EA presentation.

About Par for the course.

Issue is with EA, not Nintendo
Wii Sports golf, while being very basic showed that the controller was more than capable of coping with a game of this nature. I've had my Wii since release and still play Wii sports a great deal, I'm still amazed by the way in which the controller detects the subtlest of movements accurately.
Being a huge fan of the TW franchise I ignored all the poor reviews and bought it anyway. I have to say that I do enjoy playing TW on the Wii, but when in the middle of a 72 hole tournament with a lead of just a few shots, I want to throw the controller out of the window when I watch what should have been a very simple gentle putt go flying past the hole, or a weak powered drive take off as I start my backswing!!! It's a shame because it is not the fault of the controller but the game.
When Nintendo got the swing mechanism so right in Wii Sports Golf, why did EA insist on changing it??? Just bought Pangya Golf and while the control mechanism is better than TW, it is still not a patch on Wii Sports!
I've given the game 4 stars because I do genuinely enjoy it and I've learned to deal with the irritations of the control system, but lets face it, you should be able to relax when playing a game (especially golf!), not constantly being vigilant to avoid the irregularities!
Just found out that TW 2008 is out soon, I only hope that EA listen to their consumers and change the control mechanism.

A great game for a couple to play
Firstly, I had read numberous reviews stating how hard it was to hit a straight shot. I have to say that you can firstly adjust each users skill setting and on easy the ball will always go straight - upto expert where you need a very good clean swing. I however, found that my girlfriend and I have had no difficulty hitting a straight shot from the start (on default settings). If you get complacent and forget to keep looking down like in real golf yes the ball will hook or slice.
Infact the girlfirend regularly hits dead straight 110% shots.
Also when chipping you need to follow through to get the uplift.

The main big good point for me is that this game has a lot more depth than wii sports which we total enjoy but also due to it is lack of aggressision my girlfriend loves to play this. a round of golf taking 1 hour of quality together time. for that I'd give it a 10/10 for sociablity.

I find this game very good and would look anyone in the eye when telling them so. Remember those pointers you saw on the telly and away you go. keep you head still ;)

The one downside when holding the remote like a club it is easy with a golfing grip to press the home button on the remote stopping the swing mid strike and making everything go pear shaped. I got around this by holding the remote to one side to that my thumb missed this button.

Just to add my Girlfriend bought me a false golf club add-on to add to the experience, this is great fun but really has a negative effect to the strength of my swing (dispite it's very light design).
