About the Game
The 2008 edition in the Tiger Woods PGA series introduces enhancements and improvements to the previous version without major graphical or gameplay changes. There are new courses (Xbox 360/PS3: 5 new, 16 in total - PS2: 6 new, 18 in total) and different licensed professional golf players to choose from (21 on the Xbox 360/PS3 - 23 on the PS2/Wii). The Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 and Windows versions allow players to import photos to create in-game faces on the characters based on custom images, using the Xbox Live Vision camera, PlayStation EyeToy, PlayStation Eye or a webcam.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Players can unlock additional golfers and spend their winnings in the shop on new equipment. The putt preview has been improved, allowing players to simulate the ball's path once per individual spot, taking into accounts elements such as power, speed and elevation. Low confidence leads to lower accuracy, a pumping heartbeat, and rumbling controls on the Wii. The multiplayer (up to 4 players) has been expanded with GamerNet, where players can create and play custom challenges with their scores posted online (Xbox 360/PS3/Windows). On the Wii, players can shake the controls to taunt the opponents with 4 different moves, to throw them off.
Standout Features
- The initial statistics can be improved by completing challenges based on power or putting precision.
- They can also be raised by performing well in the PGA Tour, taking into account skill shots and not just the overall ranking.
- Shot Confidence is a new addition, keeping track of players' performance on certain courses, for specific puts and using certain clubs.
- It can be used to influence air conditions, spin, or adds audio distractions.
- Full Swing: The controls are available in 3 modes: Full Swing (wii remote), Sitting Swing (new, waggle the wii remote) or the classic controls using the nunchuck for analog play.
Modes & Ways to Play
The game incorporates the FedExCup championship format (a collection of tournaments) with rounds of golf at Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake. Also exclusive to the Wii is a Miniputt mode.
Player support includes Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS).
Presentation & Atmosphere
