    If EA wants people to buy these games year in, year out, then it has to fight for those high marks, and Tiger Woods doesn't know how to do that any more.

    A good game. It's also one that has been there before.

    A couple of its core additions, namely its "shape stick" and its other glaring issues, bring it up short. That's not to say you won't have fun with it, though. Rivals Mode is more than worth the price of admission.

    I'm surprised and saddened that this was outdone by a two-year-old game. EA's trying some new things here, but they don't quite work yet.

    And so, we come to the conclusion, and that conclusion is a sad one: stick with Links 2004, Hotshots Golf 3, Hotshots Golf Fore!, or even Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005. At least those games had rewarding gameplay.

    The new so called additions only result in a new way to exploit an aging game engine that has suffered from day one.

    EA drops the ball on another '06 game. The graphics are only mildly improved, but seem fuzzier. Not everyone has an HD TV. You EA drops the ball on another '06 game. The graphics are only mildly improved, but seem fuzzier. Not everyone has an HD TV. You can't skip cut scenes, the putting is insanely easy, the commentary quite often has nothing to do with what just happened, the shot caller feature is missing basic things such as long drive and closest to the pin, the menus are clunky, and the selection of equipment seems much worse. Anyone who has actually played a real round of Golf knows that putts are not automatic and shots don't always go straight. EA has created this odd in between area where the game isn't quite arcade and it isn't quite sim. What does this mean? It means it is quite boring. There is very little sense of accomplishment to anything. '03 remains the best version yet. Even last years '05 was far more fun than this years version.… Full Review »
