    Far too difficult for its own good. Rendered fair, only by a decade-old mechanism. [Issue#158, p.92]

    What changes you do find in Tiger Woods 08 are positive; however, it’s just the fact that there is more polish needed to make this title really stand out.

    If you're a serious member of the videogame Pringle club then, with all its options, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is definitely worth a purchase. If you're more of a Sunday morning hacker, however, then the game's difficult beginning may mean that you never reach the entertainment that lies beyond it.
  4. Even with the option to use the Clap Hanz three-tap method to swing the club, EA just seems happy to continue to build on top of the existing foundations each year rather than pull the whole thing down and start again.
  5. Tiger Woods 08 is a good game, but it stumbles a bit this year thanks to some unnecessary changes and some new features that don't work well or don't work at all.
  6. The introduction of hooks and slices results in shots that veer off too easily to the left or right, even for the steadiest hand. That's too bad, because the rest of the game lines up nicely.

    A quality golf sim, but "Everybody's Golf 5" takes the major this year. [Nov 2007, p.83]
  8. Lack of innovative new features or truly ‘next-gen’ visuals makes this a decidedly average game on the PS3.

    I think this game was worth every penny. The Graphix are excellent and the game face character you get to create is totally awesome. I'veI think this game was worth every penny. The Graphix are excellent and the game face character you get to create is totally awesome. I've played the game until there were no more tournaments to play and I wanted more. I came within a couple of points of winning the FedEx Cup. All in all, I gave it a 7 because the game cheats when it wants. Sometimes when your doing well and on your way to winning the FedEx Cup, they take away some of your skills to slow you down and loosing points to let someone else take the win. The one thing I didn't like was, when playing the nodes in the octagon, Vijay Sign doesn't loose, I know, I tried 14 times to win against him and couldn't do it. That's a total of 117 holes of play so I finally gave up trying, and if you cant beat him you don't get to play Tiger Woods. the rest of the octagon, I was able to win them all. Vijay Sign was like hitting a brick wall with Tiger on the other side. I still love the game and will probably play it again soon. Full Review »
