Earlier versions were ok but hitting shots from the fairway that regularly go in the hole from 120 yds. or more out was goofy.This game feels more like the real thing.

So i bought this game after the tiger woods scandal so i have to admit its weird seeing him plastered all over this game, but besides that this game is a ton of fun. Many hours of play, along with a solid system of improving your player, and give this game 5 stars. I also really enjoy this new style of putting. There is way less math calculation in order to sink a putt, and it requires a more precise skill with the moving of the control stick. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys golf video games.

I actually learned a number of interesting facts about the physics of golf that I had not really thought about before. I like to just hit straight and long generally. This game got me experimenting with draws and fades and I have slowly started to introduce these shots into my repertoire. Only issue is that you can outplay even the greats pretty easily once you learn to use the power boost features on the drive. However, if you don't use it and set the difficulty to the highest, it's really very challenging and fun.

This is the best Tiger Woods Game that I've ever played. I've been playing Tiger Woods since 2002. This game has all the challenges you will ever need. Also the challenges are very hard. No more of having to play Bingo Bango Bongo to move on in the Tiger challenge. It is pure golf and exceptional match play. Of course if you want to play the silly boys games you can in the traditional game modes. Finally EA made a great golf game in a few years. Plus you can buy extra add-ons at the Playstation Store.

I remember playing this game when it first came out years and years ago for the PC. I loved it. It was so addictive that I had to force myself to stop playing it at one point. So I never went back to it after that. All these years I never owned on a console. Well this year I got a PS3 and decided I had to try it out again. It has only gotten better and better over the years. Sure there's probably not a ton of changes from year to year but this game is amazing in and of itself. You add in the PS network play and you can play for days and days on end without realizing it. You should actually make sure your family knows where you are when you start a session because someone is going to have to come in and rescue you.

On top of that it's a great way to learn the game and get to know the clubs and strategy used in the game. There's different levels of standard play, online challenges and gear. Building your own golfer and having your own career is really fun and customizable. Actual and random weather is a good addition to this title.

I have to buy this one. It's definitely in my top ten all time favorite video games.

You gotta love this game!

Tiger Woods 2009 is a great game. I have all additions and 2009 is the best. Each year they get better and better

Tiger Woods Golf 2010 on the PS3 provides a constant challenge that makes you keep coming back to improve your game. The progression through a career keeps you coming back to improve and see what is in store for the next challenge. It isn't easy but nothing in life that is worthwhile is.

I like the idea that you get practice rounds before a tournament so you can see the course and try out different clubs to see what gets you into contention. Just like real golf putting is the challenge that opens up a better score. Learning to read greens and conditions is a big challenge, but the game pulls them off fairly making them neither too hard nor too easy.

I have had people who do not play golf have a great time playing head to head in competitions like TIGER. The offered golfers are a good mix of actual pros and some really comical characters. The game is fun at any level.

In my opinion not only the best golf game out there, but the only one to consider. Tons of fun and replay value for the whole family....

For some reason, to me, Golf has always translated very well to the consoles. This even dates back to when I would play the NES game "GOLF" which was a favorite at our house - heck, even my dad would play that.

There's not that much difference year to year, so if you have the prior year's version I could not justify the $60 for minor upgrades and such. However, if you're new to the PS3 console or new to the sport, this is a good one.

As far as positives go, I really like the way the clubs handle as far as the swing itself goes. The analog stick works well. It's very easy to learn and control and hit decent tee shots. Also, surprisingly, I like the new putting system. I'm not very good at it, but it's easy to use, easy to handle. The create-a-player is very good too.

As far as the negatives go, in the create-a-player career mode, some of the putting greens are maddeningly challenging. Some of these are nearly impossible on the higher-stakes tournaments. For a casual gamer like myself, it can be frustrating.

The ability to play online against someone else - especially someone else's create-a-player - is really fun too. It's a great way to pass the time rather than just playing by yourself, locked away in your basement. So a big plus for that.

Overall it's a great game and highly recommended to those new to the PS3 or who don't have a prior Tiger Woods game. If you have a more recent Tiger, I can't say this new one is leaps-and-bounds better than the previous years.

When it comes to golf games, you've got two choices: Tiger Woods or Hot Shots. If you want a true golf simulator, with real courses, real equipment, and real golfers, Tiger Woods is your only choice. Despite the monopoly, Tiger Woods 2010 does not disappoint. The game isn't drastically different then previous versions, but there are enough new features to keep things interesting.

The biggest new feature is the fixed length putter. I tried it for a number of rounds, and although it may be more realistic, it is quite difficult and I ended up going back to the old school putter.

Real time weather is another new feature that adds more realism to the game. And you can also play along with the actual PGA tour. So if Tiger is playing at Pebble, you can play a round at Pebble and see how you compare.

The graphics are excellent as expected, as are the sound effects. Music is mediocre this year with no real bands, so sad.

Content is great, with a ton of courses, a pro shop full of cloths, clubs, etc. and a number of game modes to keep you interested. The single player game alone is enough to keep you occupied for hours. Multiplayer is also well done with a good selection of modes and adequate server performance. There has been a marked reduction in dropped games. And of course, Game Face is ridiculously detailed as expected, although don't bother trying to load a picture... it just doesn't work good.

The Verdict:

If you have any interest at all in golf, don't hesitate to pick up Tiger Woods 2010. Its a solid effort.

It's a great game. I wasted many hours of my life becoming a champion golfer only to find out at the end of the day as I head up to the club there were no hot girls comin' round.

• from

I like the game and the mechanics of the game. I find it fun to play. I played a demo before purchasing the game at a store so I knew I wanted the game. I watched Amazon for about 2 weeks and bought it on sale lower than any retail store which made it even better.

Real-life golfers and folks that don't play golf in real life will enjoy Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10. But if you are a golfer and you are at all familiar with the players and the classic courses offered in this game, you will find this game most enjoyable.

The courses/players are modeled after the real things, and they are indeed designed to play just like them too. The courses you get are:

- TPC Sawgrass

- Turnberry

- St. Andrews

- Bethpage Black (where the 2009 US Open was played)

- Bay Hill

- Firestone

- Oakmont

- Doral

- Pinehurst #2

- Wentworth West

- Harbour Town

- Pebble Beach

- TPC Boston

- Hazeltine National

- East Lake Golf Club

- Torrey Pines

...or you can tell the game to choose a random 18 (or 9).

All of the courses are not initially unlocked; you need to progress through a set of Tournament Challenges that will build your skills, unlock courses, unlock equipment and get you ready to compete on the single player PGA Tour campaign mode and online. As you progress you earn money to buy equipment, apparel and other items in the pro shop. Up to 4 players can play in matches together on or offline.

It is vital that you play at least some of the aforementioned Tournament Challenges prior to joining the PGA Tour which is, just like the real thing, a series of Thursday through Sunday four day events (you don't really have to play them on Thursday through Sunday).

After beating a good part of the Tournament Challenge mode, your skills should be sharp enough to now play on the Tour on the Event Calendar; I'd highly recommend not joining the tour until you acquire the full potential of your skills by defeating Tournament Challenges. Similarly, if you plan to play online, play as Tiger until you get your own character fully upgraded or be sure that you're playing against someone at your own skill level.

A really cool feature of the equipment is that if you don't want to wait to unlock some of it through playing experience, you have the option to literally purchase it though the Playstation Store (like 2 bucks for each unlock I think). That was especially inviting for me as a TW '07 convert. I'm too used to having the best equipment, so it was nice to be able to set myself up with some perk items right from the get-go.

Speaking of my conversion from TW '07 to TW '10, I've found so far that the improvements and enhancements to '10 versus '07 are 99% positive. Online play is much easier to manage...especially playing with friends. And my favorite campaign mode upgrade is the Tournament Challenges that pit you against the pros during classic moments in golf history versus in '07 where you just played matches against from lowest to highest ranked golfers. TW `10's Tournament Challenges are very cool and a lot more challenging than the "Tiger Challenges" that were in TW '07.

The minor negatives in '10 versus '07 are 1) the new Precision Putting system. Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! Thank goodness '07 through '09 players can tell the game to go back to the Classic Putting mode; I'd advise all new players to try the Classic mode before smashing your controller in frustration over the new Precision system. The second minor negative is the weather; unless you tell the game not to mimic real-time weather at the course you're playing, you could find yourself playing in a driving rain storm that will dramatically affect your skills. I don't play real golf in the rain, and I don't want to play PS3 golf in the rain!

Another difference between TW '10 and '07 is the disappearance of the driving range. The driving range allowed for quick, easy skill upgrades. The new "Player Coach" in '10 is really fun--don't get me wrong--it's just, well, I dunno...I'm sure that the "Coach" will grow on me. After a round, he has you practice some of your worst shots in the round in exchange for skill upgrades. Actually...I guess that's pretty cool.

Oh yeah, and the other very minor negative is that David Feherty and Gary McCord (the popular PGA TV announcers) are gone. They were pretty good in TW '07. In TW '10 you get Scott Van Pelt from ESPN and Kelly Tilman from The Golf Channel to narrate your game play during matches. Their commentary can be annoying...especially when you hit a bad shot. Anyway....

You can choose to play as some popular golfers that all look like perfectly created CGI versions of the real players (with the exception of Colin Montgomerie who looks more like a scary character out of Resident Evil 5). But the best and most fun way to play is creating your own golfer that you save.

Besides stroke, match and skins play, there are several other game modes to try (which, frankly, I haven't done much of and probably won't).

Tiger Woods PGA Tour '10 on the PS3 can kill an hour quick if you've got one to spare. Fastest 18 I've ever played. When you're playing with more than one person, set aside a good amount of time if you go a full 18 holes.

Overall, this is a terrific game that is addictive as you are driven to improve your custom golfer's skills. It's great fun for the whole family. Add it to you cart.

Be the ball.
