Video Game Reviews of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Customer Review: Does Not Work!
Summary: 1 Stars
We have never played the game since it freezes the computer everytime we try to run it. Customer support has provided "fixes", but none of them work. Good luck if you choose to purchase this. Customer Review: Good, but could be better in some obvious areas.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been playing it for a little while now, and I have noticed that it is NOT surprising. Nothing will surprise you or WOW you in this game. It's good; it works; will definitely satisfy your desire to play a golf game on your PC, but...
I figured that they would spend a little more time and put some more effort into the stuff that matters instead of additional customizable details for your player's face and whatnot. Who cares? A scar? Whoop-de-do. 4,000 choices of clubs that all play about the same? Dozens of hats? Big deal.
1) We want the Course Architect! The skate board games have had that ability for years, and has become integral with the games. Why would you put it on SOME TW games and not this one?? Seems really cheap of them to leave it off. Are they going to ask us to buy it as an add-on? Good luck.
2) More natural ball movement and bouncing (i.e. when a real golf ball hits concrete it takes of like a rocket, but in the game it bounces and rolls like its in med rough.)
3) Hitting irons off of the carpet is no better than med rough? Since when?
4) The computer-driven golfer can often get stuck in parts of Central Park course. They choose to hit a ball in the rough with a 3W and it goes 3 feet only to have them turn 180 and hit it with a 3I and go 100 feet -- out of bounds. This repeats until the golfer concedes. The out of bounds on the 18th hole of Central Park green is inaccurate and absurd.
5) The mp3 for the creek/brook sounds like a skipping record.
6) When you play against a better golfer, but have them nerfed to 'novice', they will almost always hit the hole and roll over it if they are more than 10 feet away - you're pretty much guaranteed that. Gets annoying after awhile.
7) The people are obstacles, and seem to have some kind of sticky clothing?? Since when does a ball hit by a driver "land" on a guy's shirt? Or sort of stick to him and slide down? They people should have no surface and let the ball fly through them -- (most of the time) they would be moving out of the way during real golf.
8) How 'bout adding a golf cart racing secret code or something fun? I know you want it all serious and whatnot, but those that would like to pimp out a golf cart, jump one off a bunker or whatever could seek out the code. Those that are not into that could be none the wiser and still think it serious.
I'm guessing that the "PGA" in "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07" is what keeps it pretty boring. Oh well, I'll have to look elsewhere for the fun in golf.
Customer Review: Tiger Woods 2007 excels all Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
Have enjoyed time playing Tiger Woods 2005 version and wanted to update to the latest version.
I was very pleased with the game and the graphics and tournaments format are excellent.
I especially enjoy the newest feature of the game, which allows Team concept golf and the Team challenges available.
I did discover that my current graphics card was not up to adequate levels to accomodate all the features of the game.
I will soon upgrade to a full featured graphics memory card and this will allow me to enable all the terrific features the game has to offer.
I heartily recommend this latest Tiger Woods game to players of all ages.

Bought this for my hubby for a birthday present and he said he loves it. Another great Tiger Wood golf game.Customer Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 - A Real Dissappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I own every version of the TW series from 2003 to 2007. Here is an honest look at the 07 PC version of EA Sports latest golf sim. On the plus side; new lighting techniques as well as improved textures with grass and water have improved the overall appearance of the game significantly. It helps to have a higher end video card in order to fully appreciate the new look. As far as the CD version versus the DVD version of this game. I have never seen a CD version and would not know where to purchase one. When this game was released in October of 2005, it was so full of bugs that it was almost laughable. Only funny if you did not invest $35 plus and received the game as a gift. The most obvious flaw is the fact that the game chooses to ignore the most fundamental rules of golf. It will call balls out of bounds that clearly are in play, and will give you free drops with no penalty for balls that are clearly out of play. The Antialiasing settings on your graphics card are not functional within the game therefore creating jagged outlines arround bunkers and other terrain. In the past, all previous versions of TW were Beta Tested and not released before most problems that arose were fixed prior to the game's release. For some reason, there was no Beta Testing done on the 07 version and therefore none of the problems within the 07 version were ever taken care of. Not Beta Testing, I think was EA's way of implementing cost control. There supposedly is a patch for the game in the works from EA in an attempt to at least repair some of the most obvious bugs. If you are a fan of the TW series, you are familiar with the Course Architect that is available for download from EA usually 30 to 60 days after the games initial release. With the Architect you are able to design your own courses. There are hundreds of custom courses available on the net that other people have created and most of them are better than the Stock Courses that come with the game. EA in their wisdom have chosen not to release a Course Architect for the 07 version up to this point, and talk has it that it may never be released. The 07 game manual clearly advertises an Architect for this game, allowing you to create your own designs. This has become a major issue because although most designers have adapted the 06 CA to work in the 07 version, there are visual flaws such as visible Pano seams and the overall sub standard look of the water textures used in the 06 to 07 conversion courses. The problem lies in the new lighting and pano techniques used in 07 that the 06 Architect is simply not capable of dealing with, resulting in small visual glitches throughout most if not all of the conversion courses. To sum it up; If you can buy the game for under $20, buy it. It is worth the money just for the overall improved visuals of the courses. Infact, the Stock Courses are better looking than in any previous versions. Unfortunately, the Audio Commentary is last years (identical), the Gallery if used are the same cloned stick like people as in the 06 version. In my opinion, the Platform version of this game markedly better. You get more courses, as well as better looking Galleries and overall animation. The quality of the PC version suggests to me that EA is not really concerned anymore with producing a great TW game for the computer player. Their concentrated efforts seem to be more directed towards the Console versions of this game. The reason; more provitable would be my guess. I know this review is rather lengthly but hopefully helpful to some of you, in order to make the educated decision on whether to purchase this version or wait till next year, if there is a next year's version. There are numerous other reviews all over the net in regards to this game, so if you are really interested in this version, check out all other reviews starting with the EA Sports Web Site under the Forum header.
