Your golfer will experience 'realistic' and sensible growth - always a plus for this reviewer.īefore you can hit the PGA Tour, however, there are challenges to perform. If you shot +5, but went up-and-down out of the bunkers a few times that round, expect to earn solid Recovery skill points - even if the rest of the round was forgettable.

Even awful rounds aren't complete losses, as the skill points rewarded aren't based as much on your final score as they are on what you did during the round. In other words, it's kind of like real-life - you get better by doing, and it seems very natural and rewarding here. To earn putting points, you need to putt well while you're out on the course. You'll improve your skills by performing well you still earn points to apply to skills for your performance, but the points aren't placed in a general pool.įor example, to improve your putting attribute, you need Putting points. This time, however, it's more challenging… and thus more fun. The Career mode is straightforward and familiar to Tiger regulars - you'll create an alter ego using Game Face, get some gear and equipment, purchase a few initial skills and you're off. There are enough modes to keep casual players busy, and with almost a dozen PGA Tour pros to choose from, it's easy to grab some friends and tee off in a hurry. The last three are team-based, and any of these games can be played against human players or the CPU in any combination. Seven varieties of golf are available: Stroke Play, Match Play, Skins, Stableford, Alternate Shot, Best Ball and Four-Ball. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 is about two things: Career mode and pick-up games. You can even take advantage of the Xbox 360's custom soundtrack and streaming audio options and tee off to a blaring rendition of Journey's 'Any Way You Want It' and tick off the preppies. The crowd is alive with excitement and disappointment on your every shot, and the announcing team of David Feherty and Gary McCord is entertaining and often funny, despite the fact that they're disturbingly inaccurate at times.

From the crack of a 300-yard drive to the thump of a ball sticking on the dance floor to the rush of weeds against your wedge as you scoop it from the cabbage, the golf sounds are solid. That doesn't mean the sounds aren't good, however. It's a golf game, so you shouldn't expect something that's going to push your home theatre setup to the brink. Tiger's a great-looking game, and it shows off the Xbox 360's abilities very well… shame about that frame rate, though. The game's professionals are rendered in excellent detail, and their animations can range from subdued to ridiculous. Tiger Woods' ubiquitous Game Face feature is more refined than ever, and the details of your clubs and clothing are easily distinguished. Galleries of fans have finally been added, and while they're not the most detailed folks around, they add a great deal to the game's ambience, and look downright hilarious after getting clobbered by your errant shots. Colors are bright, lighting is realistic, and the water looks quite good, as well. The elevation changes at Riviera, the plateau-like greens at Pinehurst and the magnificent views of Pebble Beach are all here. There are only six courses, but they're definitely replicated with tender loving care. If you can get past the frame rate annoyance - I could, and erratic frame rates drive me bonkers - then Tiger looks fantastic. It's not terrible, and players will certainly get used to it, but it's quite surprising given the power of the Xbox 360 that sits at the developers' disposal. The game hitches at times - and unfortunately, often during a swing.

In this area, Tiger Woods is very impressive, but not without a blemish to mar the overall appearance… the frame rate. Mark Twain famously said, 'Golf is a good walk spoiled', and the sport's courses are built with beautiful scenery in mind as much as the challenge they present.
