Good game but takes time getting used to!

User Rating: 7.3 | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 WII
I have been very excited for this game since its announcement back last year. Wii and golf seem to go together very well to make a great game. When I first played Wii sports golf I was really happy with the swing mechanic but dissapointed with not being able to add hooks or slices to your shot dissapointed me alot. So when the first game play videos game out for TW 2007 I was really excited becuase the player was making a full motion swing which seems to add realism to the game. In all the previews for the game they all said that the only problems were putting on the green.
The visuals for the game also surprised me becuase everything looked better than the original Xbox. I was also happy to hear that the game would use 480p and widescreen to make the game just that much better.

Now about playing the game for myself. When I picked up the game and first popped it in the console I was really excited to expierence a new way of playing golf. But I was immiediatly dissapointed when I was trying to swing in the first tutorial. I would make my full swing but then Tiger Woods would come down on his down speed when I did not want him to which made for a terrible shot. I tried it again and again but was still dissapointed. I started yelling at the game becuase I was not expieienceing what I have been dreaming of for a golf game for the Wii. Then came putting which I found to be very forgiving and pretty easy. After a while I finally was figuring out how to swing and get a straight shot. You really dont even make a golf swing, You bring back the controller a little bit and then your golfer brings it back. I think the game senses your power on the downswing. After a while of playing I was finnally getting some decent scores. As for the visuals, the game looks really good for a Wii game and supports 480p and widescreen which was a big plus. Everything in the game looks fuller and more complete then a PS2 game.

The audio is ok but the announcers really bug me when they make unwanted complaints of how you need to hurry up.

I hope they make improvements for 08 in the swing area and everything else. This game will upset you for a little bit but will be funner after you figure out the annoying swing mechanic.
