 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.
Ace! October 6, 2007

I was happy that they moved aways from the hole in one gamebreakers and allowed the option of using the 3 hit power/accuracy bar. The game intrigued me with the new gamer face option (allows you to use xbox vision/downloaded photo to generate your face onto a created golfer) The only problem is that even with a good photo and about 30 minutes of work the character did not look like me,.... but i could be a crappy artist! Good graphics, Fun gameplay, New courses and a better Tiger Challenge.

Great game with the added new FedEx courses and the alternate 3 click swing. You can still use the toggle swing but, I found starting out to be easier to use the 3 click swing, than move on to the toggle swing if you like. They have also made it somewhat more difficlt in a good way. Enjoy!!!
