Editorial Review:
Tiger Woods PGA Tour &lsquo07 gives you the chance to test your skills among the best golfers. Play on the most prestigious greens such as Pebble Beach or the sandy cliffs of Fancourt Links and win this prestigious competition to become the latest golfing champ. Tiger Woods PGA Tour &rsquo07 contains a brand new PGA Tour season mode, 12 PGA Tour golfers (Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, John Daly, Luke Donald, Ian Poulter &hellip), 12 championships, new golf courses that are imaginative and under licence (Bethpage Black, Pinehurst N° 2, Cog Hill, Pasatiempo, Fancourt Links), improved strokes, etc.
In a nutshell: Tiger Woods returns and in better form than his recent Ryder Cup letdown, with a whole host of refinements and additions (and the odd subtraction) to the winning PGA Tour formula.
The lowdown: The problem with updating a golf game every year is that, unlike most other sports, nothing much changes in terms of players or courses. Despite that, this update tries its best with new courses, new golfers, an expanded online mode and an even better create-a-golfer mode. The only downside to all this is that the main "Rivals" single player mode from last year’s game has gone, replaced with the inferior "Team Tour" mode. It doesn’t affect the selection of other modes though, including new options "Elimination" and "OneBall" and the four player "Bloodsome and Greensome". It may not reinvent the wheel but it does at least add some very welcome decoration to it - and thankfully not in the style of most golf clothing.
Most exciting moment: The best bit about PGA Tour is still its simple and accessible controls. There are two main controls, the first uses the left analogue stick to swing and set the power and the right aims where you hit the ball. The alternative control places the hook and slice on the right stick, if that’s how you prefer it.
Since you ask: The Xbox 360 version of the game became infamous as the first game to allow you to unlock the extra features by paying money via micro-transactions on Xbox Live Marketplace. You can, however, still unlock them the honest way on all the different versions.
The bottom line: A minor update to the world’s favourite golf game. -HARRISON DENT

scores a hole in one!! the first tiger woods game to arrive on the ps3-and its a very good start-super graphics-numerous games modes and a good selection of courses-a great start to high definition golfing!!
Boring I've had all the tiger woods games since 2003 on each of the playstation formats right up to this one on ps3. For me the problem with the game is that it hasn't changed almost at all over the last 2 years. This wasn't a real problem in the earlier games as they introduced new fantasy courses that made playing interesting but this year there aren't any real unusual courses. The same old pebble beach, St Andrews etc. it looks to me like they found a way to get people to pay £40 for no reason.
Tiger impresses again I've played Tiger '06 on a friends XBOX and enjoyed it and this was an early purchase on my new PS3. After starting to play for the first time i was very disappointed with the graphics, i don't think they're any better than on the XBOX. I haven't played it on the XBOX since and maybe i was just expecting too much, maybe they're better than i think. Once you get into playing it the graphics just don't matter as your concentrating for your next shot, gameplay's always more important, you really have to... more info
Great Game but no online support!! Follows along the same lines as previous Tiger Woods games with the use of the analog stick as your swing control,also the power/spin control can also be activated by the tapping of the x button as well as L1.
However, If you already own Tiger Woods 2007 for PS2 then this title isn't a huge improvement as the online play supported by EA is absolutely terrible, especially if you want to play with your mates in the UK, Nearly 2 weeks in and not one connected game against someone who wasn't from the good... more info
