This is my first time with a Tiger Woods game, and I can see why it's such an attraction.
You get everything you'd expect from a sport simulated game - you can play a career in several tournaments, you can go single player over several courses, or your can play those courses multiplayer off line and online.
Problem is, online multiplayer has limitations - either you have to play with friends, or you have to fill out some sort of form or do something to regestier and play online.
But the game doesn't tell me what form to fill or what to do in order to get on board an online multiplayer match against strangers. So I'm stuck in offline mode; but that mode still delivers a lot of fun.
It would be a lot more fun if the controls here weren't so inaccurate. Finding the right place to pull the Wiimote back can be irritating.
Adding to troubles is the putting - which takes a while to get used to. Fact is, I need a full swing, or close to a full swing, no matter how far I'm from the hole (even if it's inches). This is something I haven't seen in any other golf game, nor do I care to see it in another golf game.
Rounding out the title are a bunch of stale mini games (why must they put minigames in these games?) and Frisbee Golf, which I found to be more aggrivating than the standard golfing game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 gives what's needed, but a few problems here and there tarnsh the shine a bit. This is a defininte rent, and a possible buy.
