I was hoping for at some high 7's to 8's on this game. But it seems like its going to get more like 6's which is terrible and doesnt earn a buy from me.

The game isnt even out yet you tool, it doesnt release until tommorow. The two sites that have reviewed it are also not very reliable, EGM is the biggest excuse for reviews in the worl and some crappy site in the UK which wont get the game for a few months is useless. Topic phailed

The previews weren't hopeful with respect to the controls.  Since that's the first thing reviewers look at now, I never put much faith into this title.

I read somewhere that EA established a separate studio for developing Wii games. Was that the studio responsible for Madden? Or is Tiger Woods their first game? Or did they make both? :?

True, but Nintendo just keeps putting out steaming piles of sh*t on a regular basis. It is painfully obvious that they don't care about the people that truly LOVE gaming. They are more concerned with kids, and non gamers.

That's what the market is for.  If people like the games, they will buy them.  It's not Nintendo's job to police all the games that come out for their system.

And as another was quick to mention, there are poor games released for every system.  Don't be so blind.

If you want the game industry to turn into the minigame industry, knock yourself out. I'll be playing the PCS360, where they actually have games that a grown man can enjoy.

Image? I could care less how people feel about me, I play the games that I enjoy. I just can't enjoy Nintendo's franchises like I could 12 years ago. They're just not as fun as GRAW, Gears of War, God of War, Metal Gear, GTA etc.

What I'm wondering is if the controls are really "tacked on" or if the people who played it suck at golf. Think about it... If you suck in real life, why would be any better with a game that tries to get as close to the real thing as possible? I mean, anyone can hit the A button, but I would think actually swinging would be a lot different. I also imagine this game has a higher degree of difficulty than the Wii Sports golf (which I am terrible at). Myself, I think I'll demo it first before I pass judgement. And since I suck at the real thing, I'm pretty sure I'll suck just as much on the Wii version. :wink:

If you really didn't care about your image, you wouldn't referred to those games of your preference as ones that an "actual grown man can enjoy".  You wouldn't have felt the need to interject and try to put me down with a snide remark.

Don't be too hasty now. There's only two reviews out for it so far that are listed at gamerankings. EGM gave the Wii version a higher score than they did the Xbox360 version, they just overall didn't seem to like the game as much as Gamespot. Ngamer UK only reviews Nintendo games it seems, so I can't compare. Still, this means there's a decent chance the gamecould score well at Gamespot, at least if they share EGM's opinion that it is the superior version.

This game does look fairly bad though. Apparantly its supposed to be too precise, little twists in your natural stance affect the direction etc. though this may seem ironic for some, but the graphics do look fairly ps2'ish.

That's a matter of opinion. I've never had a huge interest in golf games myself, but the Tiger Woods series seems to have gotten decent reviews, at least at Gamespot. The latest entry got an 8.2 for the PS3/Xbox360 at Gamespot.

You're right about that. They gave Tiger Woods a 7.33 out of 10. (They gave the Xbox 360 version a 7.17 out of 10)

I will find it very funny if Tiger Woods gets something like an 8.5 on Gamespot, with a "Best" tag for the Wii. Not that that is necessarily going to happen, but there's a chance.
