    Man, I don't know what the other user reviews are complaining about regarding bugs. I had heard that there was some problem with the tiger challenge uploading, but it seems to work for me. In fact, the game seems to be pretty solid. I like that they've included the Fed Ex Cup tournament thing. You wouldn't think that EA would incorporate something like that so soon.

    This was the first version of tiger woods i have played. It was bought as a gift. Initially when playing the 'Career' mode i because really frustrated with it.

To get the most outof the game patience is needed until your golfers stats improve. when they do this is one of the most enjoyable games i have ever played. the graphics are smooth and very near perfect. I thought another nice touch to the online side of the game was the challenge modes (where i've lost many hours trying to beat one particular longest drive!) There were a couple of glitches i found with the game, for example if your drive a ball to within the range of 7 55-110 yrds from the pin where you would choose probably a 9 iron in real life, the game doesnt allow you to and the only clubs you can use are your wedges which makes it impossible for you to reach the green in two, this is probably the most frustrating thing on the game and hopefully the '09 version with have ammended this glitch. All in all this game is a fantastic buy for none golfing fans aswell as the golfing fanatics, without the couple of little glitches (that can be found in all games if you look hard enough) this game would rate a 10. But i suppose it gives EA a little bit of room to strive for the perfect golf simulation game.… Expand

    I love the feel of this game it feel much more authentic then the rest. When I hit a good wedge shot I know it, as soon as it comes off the clubface.

    I want to play a role playing game, I want to play Tiger. Play a round of golf! Tiger Woods is a golf simulation. Period. It is an arcade golf experience with a bunch of role playing elements tossed in. I want to go to a Pro Shop to buy a hat that gives me more power, but they model the actual equipment instead. It's a thing of beauty. I'm tired of wasting my time with the LinksI want to play a role playing game, I want to play Tiger. Play a round of golf! Tiger Woods is a golf simulation. Period.

It's a thing of beauty. I'm tired of wasting my time with the Links franchise garbage. I gave it a 10 because the putting in this game is actually pretty good, and I would have given it a 12 if they didn't dumb that aspect down with the putt preview feature.… Expand

    Ok one word, GamerNet. This is one of the best features I have ever seen in any video game, ever. This is what competitive gamers really want, the ability to create your own challenge and give it to the world and see who can beat it. this brings online golf and games in general to the next level.

    An outstanding title. The game is of the highest quality in all aspects. The game's presentation, from the menu screens to the in-game action, is all silky smooth. I was also thoroughly impressed by the new GamerNet feature, by which one can save his or her best shots and rounds and post them, challenging others to best their achievements.

I was also thoroughly impressed by the new GamerNet feature, by which one can save his or her best shots and rounds and post them, challenging others to best their achievements. This could've been flawed if it wasn't executed well, but the game makers have included their own shots to encourage users to get involved. It's all very compelling without being overly cumbersome, and its a feature I hope to return to time after time. As of this posting, I was unable to get my GameFace completed due to site difficulties. (The out-of-game picture posting service is bogged down with heavy traffic). All this comes as an added bonus to stellar gameplay. There is a game here, and it is a great one. It is not leaps and bounds beyond 07, but it is a significant improvement. Shot mechanics have been tweaked, and it is much more sensitive to how you swing the analog stick. This takes some getting used to, but if you don't have the patience, they've also included a three-button-press meter as well. All in all, if you enjoy video games or golf, at least rent this game. You won't be disappointed in the slightest.… Expand

    Excellent graphics, especially on the new courses. The 3-click is a bit too sensitive, but you get use to it. Photoface isn't flawless, but I can make my own face with the default face maker. The interface seems pretty slick. Overall, the best golf game I've seen.

    It packs enough pure dazzle power to keep you trudging through the lows in pursuit of the sweet, sweet highs - and that's the stuff that great golf is made of. [Oct 2007, p.68]

    No doubt about it Tiger Woods 08 offers up an excellent round of 360 golf. The gameplay upgrades are right on and GamesNet promises unlimited potential for online action.

    Sometimes when you’re golfing you nail a hole because you bail yourself out with a superb putt, chip, or tee shot. But this game is instead like masterfully shot hole, where each stroke feels just right.
