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

Graphics Heaven
I originally bought this game for the PS2, and was really disappointed with the graphics which, I thought, were nothing like those depicted on the cover. Having sold it on ebay, I bought this to play through HD and was very impressed with the quality of the scenery. The Ailsa Course at Turnberry is just down the road from where I live and they've managed to capture the atmosphere of it pretty well. The golfers still look a bit robotic, however, and Tiger flashes a smile on getting a birdy that would terrify the pants off you. It's a massive improvment on the PS2 though.
Having newly got the game, I can't say much about how involving the gameplay will be, but the controls seem easy enough to master. It's only the putting that doesn't look quite right and can be difficult to judge, plus the number of time the ball is left hanging on the lip becomes a bit frustrating and unbelievable. Aside from that, I'm looking forward to some great armchair golf over the winter.

Good but not great!!!
First off, I've played a PS2 version of 07 and a 360 version. The 360 version seems to have a more serious approach than the PS2/Xbox versions. I think EA went for the more simulation side of things for the second Next Gen version. Don't get me wrong it's a good game of Golf and currently your only option for a 360 golf game. But for me it lacks content, be it at the Pro-shop, the amount of courses, the amount of challenges etc.
If you are a Golfer you'll notice the lack of Branding Licences, as it's always fun to have your golfer using the same brand equipment that you use for real.
The fact that it still only has 12 courses with no downloadable ones and the fact that Current Gen consoles get 21 is also very disappointing. To start winning on the Tour you really need to of completed at least a year on the PGA Tour. With all PGA tour event consisting of 4 rounds by the time you get half way through Year 2 you do start to get sick of the sight of Pebble Beach, even if Graphical it looks amazing on the HD tv.
As for the Challenges, the Tiger World Challenge is very lacking in content. The current Gen version of this, Team Challenge is although still not too great is alittle more challenging and does last alittle longer.
I don't understand how a more advanced console can have such an inferior version of this game. Yes the graphics are great but the 'WOW' factor of this only lasts so long.
I think EA need to use the same version for the Next Gen consoles as the PC one. If you get chance to look at the PC versions of Tiger, they are very rich in content and still have the great graphics and gameplay. Also EA really need to record some new commentary phases as it's all getting alittle tired. A good game but could be so much better.
Roll on 08 version.

Putting from Hell, But great none the less.
This game is excellent in everyway.
The only small exception is the putting,
after playing from Xmas day its taken me over a week
to get to grips with the putting. BIG TIP, before you put make sure you look at the percentage of hit you need to get it where the pointer is and adjust accordingly to where the pin is. You should be able to sink it in 1 or max of 2 strokes.
