 too sensitive control May 3, 2008
i have been playing tiger woods for years and i was so good i could beat all the players including super tiger woods.when this game came out i couldnt even keep the ball in the fairway.thats how sensitive and how much they changed the controls of this game.i dont know why they had to change this so much.maybe its the new controllers compared to the old xbox controllers which i prefer since i have big hands.also when you go online everything is just so confusing.i play other online games and never have a problem but with this game there is so many things showing and it just looks like a big old mess.hard to make any thing out.
 Poorly done April 4, 2008

The pro shop is tiny, photo game face is much too complicated to get to work. Hitting the ball well is nearly impossible, and the game lacked creativity in general. Tiger Woods 2005 was way better.
 Great gamewith some practice February 28, 2008
I ordered this game to play with my girlfriend as she has just started playing Xbox 360 and enjoys golf. I got the game and played through some of the Tiger Challenge which was really great practice. There are so many challanges and places to play that you can spend a great deal of time just enjoying all the locations. As mentioned in other posts the graphics for this game are amazing. If you have not played a Tiger Woods golf game before the controls can be very sensitive and difficult to adjust to but after a few games you get the hang of it.
My only disappointment so far with the game was the gamer profile creation system which needs some work. The controls are not intuitive and the entire process was very frustrating.
Load time costs Tiger Woods one star February 11, 2008

As an older gamer (early 40s) I thoroughly enjoy the Tiger Woods franchise golf games. EA Sports really knows how to package a fun, entertaining game that will keep you engaged for months.
The best feature of this game is the new Game Face. As I'm sure other reviewers have stated, this is a great feature that allows you to load your own photo into the game so you can play as yourself. And I have to say, it works great! I don't look exactly the same, but for a CGI avatar, I turned out looking just like me. I also loaded my son's photo so we can play each other...as each other. It makes the game very fun.
Another great feature is the streaming sports ticker provided by ESPN. As an ex-pat who lives overseas, the ticker is a great way to keep up on the world of U.S. sports. And the updates are virtually immediate. The My Skills challenges to ramp up your skill set are also fun to complete.
There are too many features in this game to list, but it's an improvement over 2007. I bought the 2007 edition when it came out, and the most disappointing thing was the putt preview function was missing. It's back in 2008. But they only let you look at the read one time. So it's helpful at the same time adding more challenge than previous versions that had this feature.
The lone drawback, and this is why I only gave it 4 stars, is the time it takes to load the game. Between hole loads are very fast, but the initial startup time is way too long. And don't even think about waiting in front of the screen for your own Game Face photo to load. Kick off the process, go get a drink, watch some TV, and when you come back, if you're lucky, your photo will be loaded and ready for configuration.
All-in-all a great game. The graphics are astonishingly beautiful and it's nice to have a game in my son's library at which I can actualy beat him!
It's well worth the investment.
Great game! October 25, 2007
This is the 1st Tiger Woods game I've owned since TW 2004 for PS2, and I haven't been disappointed. Swinging with the thumb stick takes a lot of practice, as it is much more sensitive than past editions.
The gamer face works very well. I took a picture of myself and my daughter with my personel digital camera, uploaded them to the EA Sports game face page and then imported them to my 360. The resemblances are very strong.
Loads of game modes make this game quite enoyable.
