Customer Review: TIGER WOODS GOLF IS PRETTY GOOD ON THE NINTENDO WII
Summary: 3 Stars
Each of my two sons has this game for the Nintendo Wii. One leaves it at my house much of the time. Recovering from heart surgery, I find the Wii games have the right amount of activity. Soon, I'll get my own Wii plus this Golf Game.
This is a good game for people from 7 to at least 87. Like all Nintendo Wii games, it gets you off the couch (except for one lazy guy I know). There are 15 realistic depictions of real courses to play. [More course are available after you "earn" them.] All aspects of the courses are very well done including placement of trees, bunkers, water and slopes on the fairways and greens. Harbour Town, Pebble Beach and TPC at Sawgrass are very realistic. It is a great game for anyone who thinks they might want to learn to play golf or for people who play golf and want to compete with pros. You stand sideways to the TV at least 5 feet away, holding the Wii controller like a golf club and make a normal golf swing. There are four types of swings to choose from: "Easy" allows mostly straight shots. "Standard" is what is best for most people. You might get a hook or slice if you do it badly but you can quickly learn to make a straight shot of 100 % with distance depending on club selection. "Advanced" is a bit touchy and tricky. I tried it and went back to Standard. "Numchuck" is what my lazy son uses to play it like an arcade game from the couch. You press two buttons to make a swing. [If my son (age 40) did not work on his feet in a factory all day, I'd urge him more strongly to stand and swing!]
My wife has put up with my interest in golf for years but never came out even to a driving range. She has learned to play this game on Standard Swing and enjoys it. We have had several very good matches. It was fun watching her play our 7-year-old granddaughter who had made her own golf personna - a knockout blonde!
In addition to playing all in my family and several solo games, I have enjoyed playing with several pros who are given good artificial intelligence. I can even make some money in skins games against them. That's how I could afford a $100 glove at the "Pro Shop."
There are three bad things about the game, two can be fixed easily if you look carefully at the instructions and options as you start the game. First, there are realistic commentaries by two famous golf announcers that are supposed to be funny but end up being sarcastic and negative. You don't need that when starting out. Fortunately, an option lets you turn those guys off. The sensitivity of the Wii control field is such that false hits occur once in 8 hits, especially for new players. The most common is a putt stroke that starts when you are swinging the club back! Similarly a standard swing can excute early such as when you reach the max backswing position. These can be fixed by selecting Mulligans ON.
But the one bad thing that cannot be fixed is the fault of the people at EA Sports who programmed in very bad behaviour for many of the non-pro characters (that you make to represent yourself). These people have no sense of golf etiquette. They have very bad manners. They kick the ball away from the green, stomp on the green in line with a putt, toss themselves down onto the green, sit and sulk and generally behave badly any time something goes wrong. This is hardly the way you want to teach people to behave on a golf course. I almost did not recommend this game and did remove a star because of this bad behaviour. But I like the rest of the aspects of the game. Maybe Tiger will start thinking like a Dad now and decide he would not want his daughter learning these bad habits.
