Very Real!
I bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it! It is so life-like, from picking your club, controling the spin, to figuring out how hard to swing. It is very difficult to learn all the tricks to getting your ball to do what you want, but once you get the hang of it it is not as hard. We found putting to be difficult because of trying to get the right strength behind the ball to get it in the pin.
Golf for the Non-golfer (as well)
Tiger Woods '09 is the first game I purchased after acquiring Wii and Wii Fit. Working out of my home and at a computer, all day, I wanted something fun, that would hold my interest over a period of time, and that would get me up and moving. My daughter and I debated on various types of games and thought we'd give this one a go.
I was a bit skeptical, at first, as my knowledge of golf was exceptionally limited (I didn't know a driver from a putter) and it did seem a bit on the expensive side. That said, though and although I'm not an expert by any stretch, I have learned enough about golf to watch it on television and actually have a clue what's going on.
As to the game, itself, I find this it thoroughly enjoyable and interesting enough that I play at least every other day. It is also challenging, which, at least in my view, is part of the fun of playing any game. Too, there are so many options available, I don't think I'll make it through all of them, any time soon.
All-in-all, I think Tiger Woods '09 a great game and well worth the cost.
great realistic game
very nice game with a lot of real world around golf courses, spend a nice time with your friends!
'09 Drops the Ball
While the game overall is still fun, Tiger Woods '09 is definitely worse that the '08 version. I have no idea how you could take a perfectly good 2008 version and screw it up so badly. Putting has been completely ruined. Instead of having a single putter, there are at least 5 or more (haven't gotten to them all). Each putter is for a different distance and plays a bit differently, and the software responds more slowly than '08, resulting in more problems measuring the back swing. In addition, the announcers are also significanly worse, with fewer phrases that are less entertaining. The addition of internet play is welcome, but it has a 30 second shot limit that is rarely enough time to set up your shot. You also don't get the option of watching your opponent's shot (you only see a blue ball trail and a marker of where your opponent's ball is lying). Additionally, the option of manualy changing your club with the up and down buttons of the control pad is also gone. Now you have to point the Wii remote at the lower right corner of the screen and press a small arrow on either side of the club display to change clubs.
All in all, if you have Tiger Woods '08 don't buy '09 unless you really, really must play online and would be satisfied with a lot of stroke penalties for taking more than 30 seconds to set up your shot in new slower interface. Maybe the game designers at EA will forget about Tiger Woods '09 and go back to the '08 game for the basis of the Tiger Woods 10 version due out soon.
