Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I was SO VERY excited about this game. I had enjoyed all the Wii sports games but found the golf game to (hopefully) be a very shallow example of what was to come. A friend and I rushed to the store immediately upon finding out TW07 was available. After anxiously tearing off the packaging and strapping on Wii remotes we couldn't wait any longer for what would be one of the greatest video game experiences of all time. The next two hours consisted of both of us working together to figure out exactly how to hold the remote and swing it for best results. After much bad language, tantrums, discussion of returning the game, and taking breaks out of frustration, we came to the conclusion that it was a virtual coin toss. Sure, after dedicating more time my friend was able to use a some-what consistent swing, but thinking back over the years of slowly climbing to the top with my create-a-character in games that are sometimes determined by a single stroke I really don't think that a some-what consistent swing is going to cut it. As frustrating as this game was playing against my friend who was facing the same challenges, I can only imagine how infuriating it would be when trying to play the computer for advancement. I understand that the game works much better one-handed, but that's not really golf is it? I turned the game off angry that night and have not played it since.
