 Tiger Woods 2003/04  |
|
Having played the PGA series for many years on a variety of different consoles, Tiger Woods 2003 is definetly the best golf sim available on any console, so when Tiger Woods 2004 was released I assumed it would be just as good with a few improvements. In Tiger Woods 2003 it is only possible to buy perfomance enhancing stats, in this latest installment you can now spend your hard earned cash on lots of bling bling!!,(i.e flash watches, shirts, trousers, caps, even socks!!, (no Armani Y fronts though). This generally makes the game more interesting, but for some reason EA Sports have decided not to let you play the main game with your chums, world tour & season mode are only one player, this is quite dissapointing because although there are some fun modes in multiplayer they are generally not as good as competing in a tournament with your mates! I would reccomend this game if you like playing games on your own but for the full multiplayer experience Im quite happy to stick to Tiger Woods 2003 with chums and sadly miss out on all the bling bling

A good solid golf game  |
|
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 is a great game for anyone who is interested in golf.
Graphics are brilliant. The ability to customise your golfer in such detail really adds to the game.
Gameplay is good if not too simple. The analogue stick is used to swing back and through and gives you a good feel for the game.
Sound is generally good but the commentating can get a bit repetative after while.
The range of courses is good and offers a wide variety.
Real time events is a really good feature, allowing you to play special events on certain days of the year.
Gameplay:9/10
Graphics:10/10
Sound:9/10
Value for money:10/10
A great game with plenty of new and exciting features. Go get it!

Now this is one hell of golf game. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 has a lot to offer the player.One of the really fun aspects of the game is the possibility to modify your golfer to look like yourself. I suppose it makes the whole experience somewhat more personal. Different types of playmodes include:
- PGA season where you can follow your golfer through 10 pga seasons.
- World Tour where you play various rounds of match play (anything from 9 to 18 holes) against both wellknown golfers like Tiger and John Daly, to made up charachters. Other modes are regular match- and strokeplay, stableford and practice. Also there are modes like the SkillZone where you aim for various targets earning money per hit, Speedgolf and battlegolf, where you play a type of matchplay to take away your opponents clubs.
There are more as well. You can improve your golfers skills in the proshop, as well buy new equipment and clothes. This also has an effect on your golfers abilities. What equipment you use also bring money into you pocket if your choice of brands are your sponsors. There are lots of courses in this game. Both real and made up. Some of them are St. Andrews, Royal Birkdale, Pinehurs #2, Poppy Hills, Princeville Resort and Bayhill club. The last time I counted the courses it was 21 + a random 18 hole course, so you get the picture. Also, you can make two additional courses yourself from scratch if you like, and add them to the rest of the games courses. Gameplay is simple. You use your left or right thumbstick to swing the club, and can also add spin and fade or draw to your shot. Shooting a fade and a draw is a bit harder on this game compared to other games Ive tried, which I like. It should be a bit of a challange.
The game does get a little easy after a little while, but you can modify aspects of the weather, greens and rough along with your aiming to make things more challanging. The graphics are great. Nice flow. I must admit that I do like the graphics in Links 2004 better, but its not enough to give this game less than 5 stars. Its great.
If you like golfgames, or want to try one, get Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004. Youll get lots and lots of courses, great gameplay, and lots of different gamemodes to try. Its great fun!!!
