In practice, I was only able to successfully carry out either of these shots around 50 percent of the time at best. In theory, draw and fade shots are performed by rotating the Wii remote to the right or left before taking a swing and then maintaining the rotated position throughout the swing. The game’s flaws become painfully apparent, however, once players start trying to gain control over the ball.īy far the most maddening aspect of Tiger 08 is its poor implementation of draw and fade shots (i.e., shots in which the ball curves slightly to the right or left). Initially, Tiger 08 fares well against the golfing in Wii Sports (the game that most players will compare it to) in that the onscreen swing seems to replicate arm movements with far greater completeness and subtlety. Sadly, it is in just these areas that the game is most unsuccessful. To succeed, players must be able to effectively manipulate both the power and direction of their shots. The central issue that plagues Tiger 08 for the Wii-the problem that no amount of visual gloss or fancy game modes can alleviate-is its inconsistent and imprecise motion-sensing controls. Although swinging the Wii remote like a golf club in Tiger 08 may offer some brief enjoyment at first, the overall experience is primarily one of profound annoyance and frustration. That being said, I do consider myself something of an authority on what I find fun. For now, the fact remains that I’m not the best person to judge the accuracy of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. Who knows, maybe I’ll take it up someday when I have the time and money. I’ve played miniature golf a handful of times over the years, and I even played a single round of real golf once when I was a kid, but that’s pretty much it.
Before starting this review, let me make one thing clear: I’m not a golfer.
