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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad my wife saved me on this one....., 10 Dec 2007
By Si (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
.....but no thanks to the negative reviews on here though!

Having played 2003(think it was 2003) to death, stats showed around 27 holes in one and average score of around 50, and then thoroughly enjoying TW 2005, I was gutted to see the scathing reviews for 2008, so chose not to buy it.

However, to help my recovery following an operation in early November, Dear wife bought me TW 2008. Took me a couple of days to even bother picking it up as the reviews on here were so bad...

How wrong they all were.

The reason people are not liking this game...... CHANGE!

EA have dared mess with their usual putting engine and admittedly it looked all a bit confusing at first. Stick with it though and you'll find it 100% more intuitive than the old method and equally rewarding.

The only reason I mentioned average scores and holes in TW 2003 earlier was to show just how many hours of my life over the last 5 years had been taken up with TW Golf and whilst I only have 2005 to use as a benchmark for comparison I can say that 2008 beats it easily.

A bigger challenge and initially a bit awkward, but once you scratch the surface it's a winner. Had they used the same old tried and trusted formula then maybe it would have a safe 4 stars from everyone but ultimately the game would be mastered within 10 hours. This time they've dared to shake it up a bit and it's a good move.

The only slight gripe i have (which still doesn't detract from the 5 stars) is that one the occasional Tiger challenge (a skins game I think)you need to play a fourball which does drag whilst you wait for the other 3 players to take their shots....

Other than that, top notch

5.0 out of 5 stars Very challenging yet rewarding, 4 Nov 2007
By M. S. Swindell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
The 2008 edition of the popular game series is now out. I ordered mine around 2 weeks ago and have been playing it for a little over a week. Although this perhaps isn't a good enough timeframe for some people I thought I might share my opinions on certain aspects and areas of the game itself.
The case is pretty simple and the manual can not be more than 15 pages thick, this is more of a get in there and learn while you play kind of game. Obviously the manual outlines the basics but it's up to you to find your own playing style.
Seeing as I'm not an avid fan of golf some parts of the game don't interest me too much e.g. building your own course. The career mode seems to have alot of depth, I like how you can play the whole game with 1 profile and pretty much everything you do is tracked.
Graphics are what you would expect from a late ps2 game. The landscapes are quite realistic considering the ps2's power in comparison to the ps3 and I like the added sound fx of planes and birds.
The gameplay is challenging for any player and can sometimes make you feel as if your playing gold for real. The swinf mechanics are very good and easy to grasp although I still slice and hook the occasional shot still. Putting is pretty straightforward unless you have the aids turned off then it really is you vs. the green.
The HUD and menu are easy to navigate and understand and the amount of items crammed into the 'pro shop' is unquestionably large. The likeness of the real golfers is quite true although perhaps some players were rushed a little.

Overall I rate the overall game 5 as it is very challenging but when you do sink that perfect putt or smack a long drive you know it was you that done it and it wasn't all down to aids telling you exactly how to hit it.

5.0 out of 5 stars As close as you'll get to golf on the PS2, 2 Oct 2007
By R. Barnett "R. Barnett" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Having read a few positive reviews about this game, I decided to go throw caution tot he wind and buy my first tiger woods game. And I'm not disappointed.
The gameplay is excellent; poor control can be punished with a hook into the bunker, whilst there is a big choice of shots to make it to the green. The putting preview is a very useful feature which has helped me land some monster putts, whilst driving and chipping is as good as youd expect.
All the courses are lush and solidly designed, whilst some players have a really good likeness.
And with a huge single-player career to get stuck into, as well as loads of extra modes for playing with mates, this is a really good purchase.
