Video Game Reviews of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 DVD
Customer Review: What a deal!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past few years at work, I have had little time to play any game let alone touch a computer for relaxation. I rarely get home,but when I do I cant wait to play Tiger Woods Golf. What a great transaction too... I received the game in less than a week and at a fraction of what I would have paid at a store.Customer Review: Fun, but flawed
Summary: 4 Stars
Tiger Woods Golf 2008 (PC) is a solid par, but too many bugs prevent it from making birdie. The graphics are solid - provided you have the video power, I had to upgrade my onboard Intel graphics - and the selection of golf courses is very good. St Andrews (The Old Course), The K Club, and Riviera are especially well rendered. There are several annoyances - incorrect score card yardages, bizarre club selections from the auto caddy, no way to see a running stroke tally, no way to select a course to play for a "casual" round, the same commentary (which is still inappropriate about 20% of the time) from Feherty and McCord that goes back at least to TWG 2004 - that really bug me. But overall the game is fun, and the several different game formats ensures it will be a long time before every scenario is completed. Recommended, but far from an "ace".Customer Review: Tiger Woods 2008 Golf PC Game

I bought this game for my husband for Christmas (he has all the previous versions of this game) and he has been playing it ever since. The 2007 game had more options to make the player look like yourself, but he still had fun creating his player. He said the courses were great. He also said it would probably be the last Tiger Woods game he would buy unless they came up with something really unique! I am not a golfer, so I can't say. But, I am betting that he will request this game for next Christmas!Customer Review: Great for masochists
Summary: 1 Stars
This game is easy for a non-gamer like myself to 'get into'; the options and PC controls are reasonably straightforward. As I progressed in 'golfing' efficiency I realized that the game is not geared to reward good shots and penalize bad ones, but to some agenda of its creators. Doing everything 'right' can bring disastrous results, depending on this agenda. Life provides enough hard knocks without volunteering for them. Only a masochist will stomach this punishment for more than 30 hours or so. So... the question becomes: how much is 30 hours of moderately interesting entertainment worth? Your call.Customer Review: :-(
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, TW 08 is a major turn off for 2 main reasons among others: yes, it has a new attractive honeycomb interface, but the benefits stop there for the most part, and furthermore (which brings me back to the 2 reasons), the gameface has been reduced to a minimum, with little chance of creating a character that you can truly identify with, and the golf courses consistently, annoyingly, disgustingly, mix decent animated graphics with the crappiest first generation backgrounds that near compel me to flush the whole blolddy game down the toilet.
It is high time that EA sports came out of its complacent stupor and put out a product that is on par with the best graphics-intensive games of our time. The potential is there, waiting to be realized. Until then, I will sadly turn my back on TW.
