If we call Wii Sports the foundation of a house, then Tiger Woods PGA Tour ’07 is the unfinished first floor.
Joystiq’s Zack Stern recently had some hands-on time with the title, and said it was a step up from Wii Sports golf with “a few caveats.” Graphics, as expected, were PS2-caliber (the screenshots in Joystiq’s post are absolutely atrocious). But then, as has also become expected, Stern said game play quickly superseded any concerns over graphics.
A few quirks that EA might want to iron out before March:
- quirky club control (sensitivity is adjustable)
- the way players spin the ball breaks any sense of realism created by the swing
- no online
Editor’s Note: No jokes about that headline, please.
Ya, I can't wait to get my hands on Tiger Woods Wii as well. Stroke play will probably be the most fun, as will spinning the balls.Ok, I'll stop now.I have had an embargo on giving EA money for a long time, but I really want a golf game, and it is good to here this one comes in at 480p widescreen, and sounds to be shaping up nicely.
EGay ,what do you expect? – their only good games come from software houses they've bought – like criteron etc.,
I will not even think of getting a Wii till March. Thats when the first real mature and well developed game will be coming out (Metroid Prime 3) till then…i will wait. I am tired of the PS2 type graphics that these third party lazy ass developers keep on putting out(In some cases even worse). It will be stupid for then after Nintendo and/or 2nd party developers show the world how to build a game for the Wii from the ground up.
It is interesting that this game is featuring "PS2-caliber" graphics: Wii is perfectly capable of featuring at least GameCube-caliber graphics… Why the downgrade on the graphics for this particular game??
"I am tired of the PS2 type graphics that these third party lazy ass developers keep on putting out(In some cases even worse).

This damned system is supposed to be able to double the Xbox. I just haven't been impressed so far. I've only seen a slight increase over Xbox.
It's actually weaker in areas and stronger in other, compares to Xbox. Don't get your hopes up.Although RE4 can and needs to be eclipsed, pronto.
I always though it was strange that since RE4 graphics are capable, why are they not done in every game such as a sports game. They could easily be done in golf, since there is little on screen motion, anyway.
For that, every game would have to be made by Capcom and last 4 years in development.
