Golf is a great game and playing it on the course feeds my soul but not when the weather makes it so uncomfortable you spend more time complaining than having that Zen like experience many of us strive for round after round. Well, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 for the Xbox gave me a great outlet for golf when the weather turned cold and ugly outside. The game has great variety. You can just start playing a round with what ever settings you choose on more than a dozen courses or you can play on the PGA calender and try to win tour events. Then there's the Rivals Mode where you can challenge golfers throughout golfing history and attempt to become the greatest golfer ever. Occassionally, on your quest Tiger will challenge you to various skills matches that are somewhat short but a lot of fun. Another fun aspect of the game is the ability to create a character in whatever serious or silly way your heart desires. I was able to make my player look just like me or with another character made him seven feet tall with an afro and 50 pounds over weight. Great for laughs. As far as the game play goes I was happy with the controller setups and the responsiveness of the AI but found the putting on this game way too easy. Once you get the hang of lining up your putts its simple to one putt almost everything. A bit disappointing but it only took away from the game a little bit. The graphics were average. Other games of golf have much better graphics. I was also left wanting more with the number of courses available to play. There is St. Andrews, TPC at Sawgrass, Pebble Beach and Bethpage but I was hoping for Augusta National or Bandon Dunes. If you want a game with repeat playability, then this is right up your alley. You can keep coming back to this game over and over again to feed that need for golf.Read full review
Real golf is boring. Video Game golf is fun. Tiger Woods golf is great fun. All the little things you can do on this game make it a must have for anyone. Little or big. The little ones will love all the special moves you can do like gamebreakers and controlling the ball in the air. While the bigger ones will like designing the golf courses and the challenges. Like I said, it's the golf game for everyone.
This game is great! I bought it for my brother, and he plays it constantly. There are various levels of competition, you can play against many golf legends, and you can play a variety of courses at the touch of a button. I also love that you can choose whether or not to use period "dress" for your golfer - since you can create your own character AND forge your own successful career in the game. Definitely a must-have!
I bought this game because I had purchased two of the previous editions ('04 and '05). I was actually a little disappointed with it. They changed the format somewhat; putting is more difficult, the proshop is more complicated to navigate, and the changes are much more drastic than they have been before from game to game, so it takes a while to adjust to it. I do like the time-travel scenarios, but I think I still prefer the '05 version of the game to this one.
If you always wanted to be more than a duffer, here is your chance. Create your own player and go up against the best in PGA Tournaments and earn the rights to play in the Majors. Play the Rivals mode and work your way up the rankings and the right to be the #1 ranked player in the world. As you continue to play, you develop your skills and become an even better player. If you don't want to wait, play as if you are Tiger Woods and hit the 350 yard drive you have always dreamed of. If you are a golf enthusiast who plays video games, this game is for you. (I bought an xBox just to play it.)
