gizmo007's Full Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 for Xbox
THE PRODUCT
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 is one of my favorite games for the XBOX system. It is made by EA sports who are the number one sports game selling franchise. They have other games such as Madden football and NHL hockey. They are a company you expect a very addictive game to come from, like all there sports games you have played you know from first hand expierence that they are very addictive. Tiger Woods 2003 is definetly no exception, it is a very fun game that you never want to stop playing.
NEEDED INFO
Everyone knows how dominate a golfer Tiger Woods is, so when you see a game with his name you just need to play it. Everyone wants to be just like Tiger Woods or they all want to beable to beat him at golf. Well obviously in real life you will never beable to do either of those, so this game is the closest you will come to either one. You can swing like Tiger, or be Garcia and attempt to kick his but.
THE GAMEPLAY
Gameplay contains many PGA tour pro's that are out now, there are also twelve original tour players. There are nine different courses, one new one being St. Andrews golf course, and there are three bonus fantasy courses which are very new and exciting. If you have a internet connection to your XBOX you can check worldwide rankings of you golfing character. I with my connection, can compare my character to the real stats of Tiger Woods. Just so you know this option will not be available till around 2004, I am just mentioning the comparing to show something new that is coming out that you can do with this game. There are many different golf modes, you can just have a round of lazy golf or some highly pressured golf, its always your choice.
The game has a few mini games included, these allow you to go up against different skill testing games, also there is a speed golf option where you play against someone in speed golf. And I know everyone enjoys unlocking new golfers, and like every other golf game, Tiger Woods 2003 allows you to unluck some real hard hitters. The game is one to four players, so you can play as a single or a foursome. The only con to the whole game is when you play, and you have opponents you have to wait for them all to hit. You can speed up the speed of the ball in the air when they hit but it still takes a considerable amount of time when its a foursome.
OVERVIEW
This game will keep you playing, will all the different game plays and options available you will really not get bored easily. It will keep you trying new things and going back to the old ones thinking they are new. Of course the graphics are amazing, its a XBOX, expect the best. If you have your XBOX hooked up to something with Dolby Digital sound then you can play golf with surround sound, giving you a expierence that feels like you are that much closer to real golf.
MY OPINION
I feel this game is a great buy, expect to have many many hours of fun with it. This game is probably one of the best games for those times when you want to play golf but cant because of weather, and depending on where you live maybe the golf season is over. This game with fill that void for a few months. It will keep your love of the game there, and ready for the real thing. For $31 its worth it, I paid about $60 and I feel it is worth it.
