4.0 out of 5 stars Impressions from a first foray into next gen golf games, August 28, 2008
By E. Hodges (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
While I'm a relatively hardcore gamer, Tiger Woods 09 for the PS3 was my first experience playing a golf game on the current generation of consoles.

Bearing that disclaimer in mind, two words have summed up my experience with the title so far: cohesive fun. This is a game that just seems to be put together well. Playing on normal difficulty, I've found the gameplay and controls to be incredibly intuitive. I was a bit leery of the analog swing control given experiences with other games, but they've nailed it here. It ended up feeling like a very natural way to play the game and reminded me of playing Golden Tee at the arcades. The more traditional 3 click method is also available but I haven't even needed to try it.

The game tracks your skills in four different categories and these can either rise or decline after each round. It set me around 3.5 (out of 10) initially and I've seen steady increases.

Online functionality is executed well. There are persistent GamerNet challenges which present distance or accuracy challenges based on other users performances. This provides a constant extra incentive to nail a shot or improve.

Other reviews have noted that the game might be too easy but I've found it to be just right so far. I'm not making birdies and eagles on every shot but I'm also not stuck making triple bogeys either. The best compliment I can give the game is that it makes the process of playing extremely natural with almost no learning curve (however there is plenty of depth as well).

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything that was wrong with 2008 has been corrected. The best Tiger Woods game since 2005., August 31, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
After the major disappointment with Tiger Woods 2008 I went back to the 2005 version of the game. 2008 was hard to play and not much fun. But I'm happy to say that the 2009 Tiger Woods game is great. The way it looks, the way it plays is so much better then 2008. I will allow others who are better at writing reviews give the details. I can just say I didn't like 2006 , 2007 or 2008. I did like 2005 and this is better then 2005. A major improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Entertainment, September 2, 2008
By Reagan J. Zogby (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I agree with all of the pro and con comments made by the other reviewers. This game is an enjoyable alternative to the shooters that are out there. The graphics are great. I had a group over for Labor Day including two avid and excellent golfers, one who had played Pebble Beach. They got into a stroke play game that had the women watching and enjoying.

The game is easy to pick up and learn. Unlike watching golf on TV, you get to follow the trajectory of the ball and see what happened prior to the ball coming down. The career path is fun and pulls you in from the start. In short, the game is well laid out and no where near as complicated to learn as a game such as Madden 09.

I purchased this to have an alternative in my game collection to shooters and something that could be played at gatherings. That meant easy to learn and something watchable to those not directly involved in the game. The game has a good amount of variety to provide a lot of play time. If you measure the value of game by the number of minutes of play time you get from the game without it getting old, you will definitely get your money's worth.

Only downside of this game is the time it takes between shots. And also you can't do anything to speed up the CPU or yourself after the ball is hit.
