Needs tweaking.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is an interesting golf game that features non other than Tiger Woods. The game allows you to play Tiger himself, of course, but also allows you to create other players and to play and unlock others in the game. You can go to several golf courses in the game and depending on which place you go depends on how the games difficulty becomes. Mini games are offered in the game such has "T-I-G-E-R" the equivalent of H-O-R-S-E. The career mode of course is what many single players will enjoy. Gathering wins and money is the main objective of this. The game is part of a long chain of successful Tiger Woods games that feature the golfer. This one, as all the rest have done, does itself better in many aspects. Tiger Woods 07 has some areas of discussion such as graphics, character creation, and gameplay. GRAPHICS
The graphics in Tiger Woods 07 are not stunning (at least not on the Wii). The graphics seem to be in the (maybe) third stage of design. They just don't seem to be finished or polished. What I would have expected is graphics utilizing the newer hardware available. The scenery isn't outstanding. The rest of the graphics such as the players themselves are good. The characters are what seems to be the focus of the game designers, very detailed. Overall the graphics are good for last generation systems but new generation it just looks out dated.
CHARACTER CREATION
The most time consuming thing about setting up your profile on the game is making yourself in the game and this can take you as little as five minutes or as long as an hour or more if you are a perfectionist. The controls are extremely detailed and the options and boundless it seems. The hardest thing I found when creating my own character was the eyes. For some reason every character in the game has squinty eyes as if they were Asian. I might have not played with the eye detail panel long enough but it just appears to be a problem when making your player in the game. The only real complaint other than the eyes is the hair. The details are lacking such as the shade of the hair. Only about 6 options when it comes to color. In all the character creation process is very interesting and is very satisfying when you take the time.
GAMEPLAY
Gameplay in Tiger Woods 07 is something that needs to be improved. I've played the game several times now and have to deal with the buggy Wii controller. I'm not the only one. The controller seems to be fine for certain people who play but for some it’s aggravating. Especially when trying to drive a ball onto a par 3 and when you go back for the back swing, before you go for the follow through the controller swings for you giving you only a 49% swing instead of 100 or even 90% swing. If it doesn't happen to you then consider yourself lucky. Other than the sometimes bug the game is very fun when using the controller.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Tiger Woods 07 is a blast to play, especially with a group of friends. The game should be played with mulligans so when the controller does act up it can be a redo. Playing a full round of golf takes four people four hours so make sure you make the time. Believe me when I say that the four hours doesn't feel like it. The game is fun and the time flies by. For those of you who have a significant other may I suggest when creating you characters that you let the other make you. You'll laugh and have a great time trying to get them just right... or not right whatsoever. Good game that hopefully has improvements on the next outing. Go out and have fun.
