having played tiger woods 04,05,06,07,08,09,10,and 20011 i can honestly say tiger woods has gone down every year and gotten worse.this was the last game that ea made where it was great to play tiger woods.the 04 version changed the puting so you have to use both left and right thumbsticks to put the left one for how long you want the ball to go and the right one to control the left or right which is stupid because the green controls where the ball shold go not the player.if there is a slope going to the left the ball will go left so you need to move the ball more to the right and not control the way the ball moves witht he right thumbstick.this is just one of many things tiger woods has changed over the years to make this franchise worse and worse.by 2010 and 2011 the controls to control hitting it on the fairway are ridiculous.you move the thumbstick just ever so slightly and you miss the fairway bigtime.the menus are terrible too.ok now for the review on this game.apart from other reviewers who hate the heartbeat i love it.this gamne is indeed very addicting.i have played it a million times and i have yet to tire of it like i do the 2010 and 2011 versions.there is a saying dont fix what aint broke.well ea changed too many things and made this game worse and worse and this was the last good version of this game.they also ruined fight night round 4 and should have left it like fight night round 3.

This is a terribly addicting game, trying to get through all the scenarios, tournaments, Tiger challenges, and so forth. I've been playing this non-stop for a month. There is plenty on here to keep you busy for quite a while.

Two pet peeves: 1)the extra animations of hitting the ball and the 'heart-beat' of hitting a great shot gets old very quickly, and there is no way to turn it off. You can turn off the controller vibration, but the animation continues, which really slows down the game. 2)this game is too easy. I understand the appeal of being able to regularly shoot in the 50s; but sometimes it gets tiresome. I suppose the best way to play this game is to use characters without all the high ability, to turn off the spin control, and to crank up the wind. But even when I do that, I can still regularly shoot under 60.

While I have generally enjoyed this game, it's starting to drive me crazy. All of the extra animation and the "heart beating" that was mentioned in another review eventually grow tiresome. If you are fan of Golden Tee and are looking for something similar, DO NOT buy this game. All of the chuckleheads that designed this game should head down to their local bar, order up a pint, put $5 in the Golden Tee machine and see what a computer golf game should look like.

This is the best Golf game I've seen yet. I can't wait for 2004! The game has pretty good commentary. The Courses are terrific! This is one of my favorite games!

Don't get me wrong. I love this game. It's fun to play and with any kind of wind it's even hard to compete. The only thing I don't like about the game is the advise you get from your caddy when you are putting. Most of the time it makes no sense to me. If I use the advise as stated I would never sink a putt. The instructions do not clearly explain how to read the screen for putts. If I could figure this out I would drop my score by several strokes.

I guess the same can be said for my real golf agme. Drive for show, Putt for dough.
