  • Summary: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 takes golf fans inside-the-ropes to experience the drama and emotion of tournament golf. In addition, the U.S. Open, a USGA championship, and the USGA’s Rules of Golf is available in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the first time in franchise history. As you hear the roarar of the crowd from the next hole over, can you handle the mounting pressure while you stand over your tournament-winning putt? Expanded crowds surround every hole; adding to the tension and excitement of each shot. A first for the franchise, real-time weather is reflected on every course, ensuring the in-game experience matches that of the current weather conditions. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 also features a television broadcast style presentation, which include instantaneous updates and a new announcer team of ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman.

  1. The audio presentation gets a serious boost with more ambient sounds coming out of every speaker in a crisp, clear Dolby Digital mix.
  2. It's no online tour, but it's a step in the right direction; the kind of slow progress we're seeing in the franchise these days. [July 2009, p.82]
  3. The new putting system and the US Open add some great new challenges for fans of the series, giving them plenty of reason to invest.
  4. But is it justifiable now to release a yearly installment or would they be better off releasing premium updates to current versions of the game? Only EA can answer that question, but they better start thinking fast because the series could become a little stale too soon.

    I love this game. Granted I haven't played it since the 07 version, but I really like the way you increase your player's stats and online is addicting. Look out for Geezer McGee on the course!! Expand

    This Game is Sweet, I got this and the wii version, and I play this version when I don't feel like getting off the couch. Real tournaments rock, I'll be playing in the U.S. open this week! Expand

    Great to have the weather back (they used to have it in earlier versions, not sure why it went away), and the courses look better than ever, but the commentating has gone from decent to absolutely horrible. Its the first time in 8 years that I've turned it off. That being said, the single player tournaments are probably the best they've ever been, with variable weather conditions and tee times, glad they finally got it right. Expand

    My score may look cruel, but it's deserved. There are very few improvements from the mediocre showing last year. The graphics are really starting to show their age. The main change is to putting, but it's not an improvement on the previous system. It feels like change for the sake of change. Quite frankly, I'm also sick of all the EA items and icons everywhere. All that does is make us feel like we're playing a game from an evil corporation (which may or may not be true). Really this could have been some dl content for tw09. It's far from worth it's asking price. Expand
