Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
While Electronic Arts’ other sports games may be locked in a deadly rivalry with their competitors there really hasn’t been a golf sim to go head-to-head with Tiger Woods for years. There doesn’t seem to be too much laurel sitting going on though, especially since this is, like many Electronic Arts games this year, the first time the game has been designed specifically with the next generation of consoles in mind. Naturally that means the most realistic graphics yet, not only for the course itself but also for Tiger and the other real-world golfers. Their faces and expressions look totally life-like and on the PS3 and 360 you can use a webcam or digital camera to import your own face and graft it to your own in-game custom golfer.
In terms of gameplay the major new feature is the concept of "shot confidence" which monitors your performance through your whole career, adding an extra degree of tension to difficult shots but also allowing you to examine your game in detail to find out where you’re going right and wrong. After criticisms that last year’s game was a bit thin on options this new game has the greatest number of courses ever including Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill and East Lake. There’s also the expanded GamerNet mode which acts like a sort of YouTube just for the game, allowing you post in-game videos and challenge other people to a game in an online world dedicated to nothing but golf.

Fun:
Just received my copy of the game after having read umpteen previews of it. I currently have the 07 edition and find it utterly adictive and can't really fault it too much. I have read so many reviews of EA Sports titles that suggest if you have an earlier edition,don't waste money on the new one.At least in the golf version,you get new courses so you may well find that worth the outlay.My arguments 'Against' the 08 version(if you have 07)is the 'ALL NEW' Confidence meter which tracks your play.Well let's face it,if you've mastered the 07 version,your confidence should be pretty high from the minute you switch-on.I switched this off as it becomes annoying after not too long.My other problem is I switched-on and like we all do,went for 'Quick-Play'.Tried a new course using Annika Sorenstam and shot an -18,56! I've only just started getting into the lower 60's on the 07 version,so I expected more of a 'challenge',especially on a new course and with a new character.I appreciate the 'Career Mode' will not be so simple,but I have tended to find that once you have mastered this once,you usually can't be bothered going through it all again.In summary then,if you have 07 then £30 buys you new courses. The 'Confidence Meter' will be ok to NEW users,but annoying to existing 07 users.
Fun:
This game is just what I was hoping for. So easy to pick up and crazy addictive from there on in. Have barely put it down since it arrived. Upgrading equipment, clothing, skills etc is a great addition to the overall gameplay and the tests to improve your skills add to the overall enjoyment. Highly recommeded
Fun:
TI have TW '09 for the PS3, so perhaps this is why I rate '08 for the PSP so low. It's an ok game, which helps pass the time but not really a true golf game. It has lots of little mini games to de-stress you from being on the course but they are pointles.
Game play is ok, but I would personally fork out and buy '09 or '10 instead.
