When I first got the Wii I thought the games that came with it were great. I am old enough to remember Pong. My uncle got the Odyssey for his kids, really him, for Christmas. We were all fascinated to watch a cursor move across the TV screen and move a paddle up and down to hit it. How far we have come.
On to the Wii. I love golf. The Wii golf game was great for a basic game and it did highlight how well the controllers worked to simulate a golf swing. But it is the basic game. You play on one course. You make up a basic Wii character and you play. Me and my friends and family spent many hours competing playing golf and keeping track of the scores. My wife decided since we liked it so much she reserved a copy of Tiger Woods 09 All Play for Wii.
The game is a great golf game. I have not played Wii golf since. You start by creating your own character. You can basically create a character that looks very similar to your self. You buy your own clubs, tune your clubs, go to school on how to play with tutorials by Tiger Woods Golf Coach, and proceed to play your first game.
You can enter the Tiger Woods Challenge and play against professional golfers in different matches or go directly on tour and play your way through the amateur tour, get your PGA card and go on the pro tour.
There are many courses to play and you can increase the difficulty as you get better. It will take a long time to get through this game. You can also play as one of 26 different pro golfers if you'd like.
You dress yourself, pick animations for when you make a good shot or a bad one. You can slice and hook the ball, you can put spin on it, adjust the loft of your clubs, and also unlike Wii Golf you can chose any iron or wood in your bag, hit punch, lob and pitch shots. Switch between a chip, pitch or put if your close.
There really is no comparison between the two however that's to be expected since the Wii Golf comes with the systems and Tiger Woods is all golf. In my next post I'll talk about the problems with Left handed play.

I love the new Tiger Woods I only wish that you could play against one of the pros in the profile section without having to play for them
ReplyDeleteYou can play against some of them in the tiger challenges. You just cannot pick who you want or what course.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is true that you can pick any club in your bag. If so please let me know how.
ReplyDeletealso does anyone else not get their full swing when they are playing sometimes it swings before I am done swinging.
