4.0 out of 5 stars TW07 Wii was good--08 is great, September 5, 2007

When I got my Wii, I eagerly awaited the release of TW07--it was good--using the wiimote as a club worked quite well, but the controls seemed a bit twitchy, both in menus and also rarely when swinging the 'club'.

TW08 is really what 07 should have been--yes the graphics are less than stellar, but they are significantly better than 07. The wiimote as golf club more than makes up for any missing graphical bliss--even my non-golfing friends that have seen this thought it would be fun. 08 also dropped the fantasy courses from 07 and added some more real courses--the missing fantasy ones are not a great loss to me, they were generally ridiculously difficult and a major obstacle for me completing the PGA tour portion of the game. I enjoy this game so much I'm thinking about taking up real golf again after 10 years of being away from the game--if only I could play as well as I do with the Wii......

Tiger Woods 08 is an excellent game for the Wii system. Using the remote as your golf club immerses you in the game. Even in the easy mode you have to pay attention to the lie, the wind, your club selection and your swing to be successful.

Creating your player is wonderful with an almost infinite amount of customization. As you play you earn money and can buy equipment: everything from clothing and jewelry to shafts and club heads. Very nice.

Tons of courses to choose from and lots of arcade and minigames to play means you'll never get bored with this game. It's also terrific with one player or four players.

I'm blown away that some people complain about the graphics: I love the graphics especially since the Wii is not a next gen, over-priced system. It is FUN and isn't that what you want from a system?

Tiger Woods '08 is a real winner. Video gaming doesn't get any better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Tiger Woods game yet!, August 29, 2007

This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Video Game)

I've played Tiger Woods 05/06/07 on PS2, and I always enjoyed them. But, with the Wii system, Tiger Woods 08 is THE best golf game I have ever played. It basically puts Wii Sports: Golf to shame. It is amazingly easy to learn and fun to create your own player. You can even try out the new FedEx Cup Playoff format. They even have minigames for you to play, such as putt-putt. Overall, Tiger Woods 08 for the Wii very well may compete as the best game to come out for the Wii. It uses the Wii controller features at all times and actually requires you to tune your golf swing for different situations.
