Slowly over the years, the Tiger Woods series has evolved from it's roots
when it was known as PGA Tour. EA wasted no time in upgrading the game from the PS One up
to the newly released (at the time of course) PlayStation 2. "Upgrading" is
pretty much what they did.
Putting is much more of a chore here (not to mention more realistic) that it would be later. Pressing X or the triangle button will give you a better look at the green, but here it is all up to you to make sure that you've aimed exactly right. Various modes of play are available including scenarios, PGA Tour, tournaments, skins, match play, and stroke play. The PGA Tour will send you into various tournaments and other assorted modes of play. You will play as one of the PGA's finest as there is no create-a-player. The scenarios will put you into various tight situations and it's up to you to make it out.
There is very little reason to revisit this game. It still plays a decent version of golf, but when 2002 (not to mention later games as well) did everything so much better, it's hard to go back. This may appeal a bit more to those who enjoy more realistic golf, but the wealth of features offered by other games in the series adds a lot more replay value for the money. |
