Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 PS3 Review

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 carries on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour for another year. Only thing now is Tiger Woods' coach is now your coach. A good start. But you're going to need it as Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 is ultimately a very hard game for beginners so only die hard fans will truly enjoy the gaming experience.

As usual with the PGA TOUR games, the graphics are pixel-perfect and the sound even better in 2009.

In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, Hank Haney, Tiger Woods' coach is with you from the start to assess your skills, help you tune your clubs and give you feedback after every round as you attempt to climb the leaderboards and win the FedExCup. You'll truly feel like a PGA Pro as you hit the circuit, tuning your clubs and improving your performance on each hole.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 is an adaptable game that gives you the ability to have a personalized and customized day on the links. However, as iterated before, the game is really quite tricky to master. You'll have to have a few hours to get to grips with this game.

We only played with the PS3 version but we reckon the Wii version would be more enjoyable - especially with friends.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 is available on PSP, PS2, Wii & Xbox 360 as well as the PS3 - although we doubt the graphics would be anywhere as sweet than on the PS3.

The online experience has been improved too, with an all-new online engine powering Simultaneous Play.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 Features

The game benefits enhanced gameplay, online modes and graphics, but there are also a plethora of in-game improvements, including:

• Performance Coach – The TOUR pros have their own coaches and now you do too. Tiger Woods real life coach Hank Haney will guide you through your career right from the start and help you improve your skills as you play each of your rounds. Haney is constantly watching your performance and assessing areas for improvement, providing you tips on how to increase your skills.
• Tune Your Clubs to Maximize Your Swing – With the all new Club Tuner you'll be able to tune your individual wedges, irons, woods and driver to customize your bag and get the most out of every club. But strategy will come into play as you must weigh the risks of club performance versus ease of use. So tune wisely!
• Dynamic Skills — All-new Dynamic Skills eliminates the chore of building your character up from scratch with skills you set at the beginning of your career. Based up on your performance after each round, your skills will go up and down.
• Enhanced EA SPORTS GamerNet — Personalize your experience on EA SPORTS GamerNet like never before. With the all new Instant Challenges you can earn points in any game mode and climb the Daily GamerNet leaderboards. These Instant Challenges - long drive, approach shots and putting, will appear throughout every round, providing a multitude of opportunities to earn GamerNet points while playing other modes.
• New Online Mode - In addition, to turn based play an all-new 4-Player Online Simultaneous Play will allow you to compete in a four person round in the same time it takes to play single player. No more waiting for your buddies to hit their golf shot. You will see ball trails from each of your playing partners as the foursome plays the hole at the same time. Finish the hole first and switch over to spectator mode where you'll see your partners characters as they finish up the hole.
• New Courses and Golfers — New challenges await with exotic new locations including Gary Player Country Club in South Africa, Wentworth Country Club in England, Sheshan Golf Club in China, Wolf Creek in Nevada and Bay Hill Country Club in Florida. Adding international flavor to the available golfers in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 are Si Re Pak, Darren Clarke, Nick Dougherty and Rory McIlroy.

Our Verdict

If you're looking for a game to play after a hard day at work - don't buy this, well - not on the PS3, perhaps the Wii. However, it becomes a lot more fun when you're playing either online or with friends. However, if you want a game to play with friends; you may fancy Mercenaries 2 - World of Flames.

You can win 1 of 10 PS3 copies of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 and Mercenaries 2 in our game competitions!

We give this game a 3.5/5.
