    No doubt about it Tiger Woods 08 offers up an excellent round of 360 golf. The gameplay upgrades are right on and GamesNet promises unlimited potential for online action.

    Plays the best round of golf available at the moment and comes wrapped in an impressive Golf-RPG package that contains more game modes and options than you could shake a 5 iron at. It may not be a hole in one, but it's a bloody impressive birdie.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is the best Tiger Woods yet but really feels like an incremental upgrade over last year’s game.

    Too arcadey to match "Links," but still plays a cracking round of golf. [Nov 2007, p.81]

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is by no means perfect, and we'd expect something of an engine overhaul for the next version, but this is no mere cynical yearly update. Recommended.

    But looming over everything is the fact that the most fundamental gameplay element of Tiger Woods 08 -- the swing -- is essentially flawed. And so in spite of the solid competence of most of the rest of the game, I'd recommend you rent the game before purchasing. Just to make sure you've got the patience for it.

    The new courses, modes and features can't make us forget one simple fact: EA screwed with the gameplay. It's not our fault we were getting really damn good at your game. Don't send it back into the Stone Age with inaccurate swing mechanics and busted-up putting as punishment.

    I love the feel of this game it feel much more authentic then the rest. When I hit a good wedge shot I know it, as soon as it comes off the clubface.

    Man, I don't know what the other user reviews are complaining about regarding bugs. I had heard that there was some problem with the Man, I don't know what the other user reviews are complaining about regarding bugs. I had heard that there was some problem with the tiger challenge uploading, but it seems to work for me. In fact, the game seems to be pretty solid. I like that they've included the Fed Ex Cup tournament thing. You wouldn't think that EA would incorporate something like that so soon.… Expand

It is an arcade golfI want to play a role playing game, I want to play Tiger. Play a round of golf! Tiger Woods is a golf simulation. Period. It is an arcade golf experience with a bunch of role playing elements tossed in. I want to go to a Pro Shop to buy a hat that gives me more power, but they model the actual equipment instead. It's a thing of beauty. I'm tired of wasting my time with the Links franchise garbage. I gave it a 10 because the putting in this game is actually pretty good, and I would have given it a 12 if they didn't dumb that aspect down with the putt preview feature.… Expand

    What happened to my Tiger? Something changed for the worse in the last year, I cant hit a ball anymore and the skill progression is messed What happened to my Tiger? Something changed for the worse in the last year, I cant hit a ball anymore and the skill progression is messed up. The game still looks very nice and I love the amount of courses (which seem cleaner and more polished), but it feels like certain areas of the game were completely neglected - and those are the areas I play! Sheesh, the thing crashed on me three times during the challenges. Not only that but I cant get the photoface feature to work and cant get through an online game at all. This game feels hurried out the door and in comparison, there are many less gameplay features from years past. I think they underestimate their audience and think throwing more courses at us will make up for downgraded gameplay and features. Putting is too easy and I grow so tired of the un-funny dialog. The commentators are tired and I think I cant stand them anymore. The dialog is wrong more often than not. While this is the best golf game out there, that doesnt say much and will stick to last years game if I can find someone to play it with. I expected more out of the madden guys, but then again, they did also make the Superman turdball.… Expand

    This game defines mediocrity, and the problem of having too many features. For every step forward, there's a big step back. Putting is This game defines mediocrity, and the problem of having too many features. For every step forward, there's a big step back. Putting is easy, and they made it easier. The CPU takes drops for no particular reason. They spend too much time on their photo stuff, but then it doesn't work because their servers are crashed and the game won't accept photos via USB. There are bad camera angles, but there doesn't have to be, since it's selecting poor angles when good ones exist. Commentary is very 5 years ago, and I have to turn it off immediately. More courses are locked than not on start. Why lock courses at all? They have lots of new equipment, but no hybrids. You have to carry a 56* wedge, and there's no emphasis on major differences like shaft flexibility. This game doesn't have to be a sim all the time; we use Tiger Woods! That's hardly a sim. But the reality is that there is more emphasis on skin spots than having a reliable play between 50-90 yards. Wedges under 30 yds are a crap shoot rather than a realistic short play, and the sickening part is that there's no real reason for it. Too much unrealized potential... this game should be called Sergio Garcia '08.… Expand

My friend and I had been eagerly awaiting this release for some time as 07 was also very prone to crashing and we rushed out and got a copy as soon as it was released. It played fine for a week and is now unplayable as it freezes/crashes on the first hole of most game types!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, HEED MY WARNING EA Sports, ripped off again!… Expand
