What's great about it: Player Friendly Controls, Accomodating Gameplay What's not so great: Needs more courses
"EA Sports have put together a very exciting and memorable golfing simulation experience with Tiger Woods 09. It's remarkable on how much effort, polish, and technical work EA has put into this release. Unlike previous incarnations of Tiger Woods, this game really assembles a user-friendly design, which anyone in the family can get into and enjoy.
The positives far outweigh the negatives. The best quality of Tiger Woods 09 is the learning curve. My wife and son have always complained about games being too complex for them and so this was a welcomed release in our home. Not only are the control schemes easy to manage, but also the non-intrusive character skill lessons are easy to understand and follow through. Rarely did my family and I get bored with this as each skill developed increases your golfers power, short game, accuracy, and putting skills.
The graphics are right on the mark and much detail and care was put into these courses. Everything from the sand traps, water effects, and ambiance of the course just feels inviting. Now and then I would experience some jagged pixels but nothing to be too negative about.
Gameplay is both entertaining and memorable while moving at a great pace mixing brain power with strategy. I really enjoyed customizing my character, earning more courses through the Tiger Challenges, and earning money to spend in the pro shop. Tiger Woods 09 also carries quite a robust multiplayer platform that uses simultaneous play which allows you to move through the course with other players without having to wait for their shot. So what could have took half a day with multiple people now takes an hour or two. This addition gives the game a well-rounded selling appeal that is truly worth the price tag.
The only disappointment I have with '09 is that I simply wanted more courses. Call me greedy, but I just crave more courses! Also, I still can't stand the in-game commentary.
Overall, Tiger Woods '09 is worth your time and hard earned money. Parents listen up! If you have children and want them to play a game that allows them to use their brain and make strategic decisions, consider this! This is easy enough for them to learn and it's interesting to watch them learn a bit about golf. This is a great family game and one franchise that I will be purchasing as the years roll by."

What's great about it: lots of ways to improve your t.v. golf game. What's not so great: still looking for them. lol!!!!!
"Ok, well I am one of those random gamers that takes a break from the games for a while then comes back to see what is going on. Well I have to say that I feel that this is one of the better Tiger Woods that has come out in the last couple of years. I loved the 05' one and that is what got me hooked on it. This version has a lot of the characteristics of the 05' but also has some improvements. Its not to touchy and it does allow for a little bit of error because we all know how we can get when we get engrossed in the game. The on-line play is great and the daily tournaments are very fun. I would have to recommed this to the people that loved Tiger Woods in the beginning and then felt that they were just making it to difficult or to technical. If your like me and not looking for the precision needed in the N.A.S.A program then you will love this game. Go and get it and have some fun."

What's great about it: Gamernet, Dynamic Skill System What's not so great: Courses (they took away Firestone)
"I own 2007 but passed on 08 because of the online problems. But they definitely fixed all the issues that this series was known for. I was actually able to get online and play a game with no problems at all. The dynamic skill system makes every shot really mean more. And the pop up challenges that you receive in the single player game from Gamernet are great."

What's great about it: Great graphic,improved joystick swing What's not so great: The best things of TW 2008 are out,Hank Haney and his boring drills.
"TW 2009 brings cool graphics and an improved swing with the joystick or analog swing. More golf courses,a practice golf range and superb gameface photo. The bad of all this is that the good things from TW 2008 were taken out, just to dedicate space for a boring Hank Haney, Tiger's coach. The drills are boring with little help. TW 2008 drills were better with more variety. The putting swing has been changed as well, with little shot of confidence. The pro-shop of TW 2008 was a lot of fun but this year's pro-shop has little or no value at all. TW pga tour is by far the best golf game out there, but if you're planning to buy a TW PGA Tour, I'll recommend you to buy TW PGA Tour 2008, cuase it's still the best TW PGA game."

What's great about it: Great graphics, superb control What's not so great: Haven't found one yet
"I've played virtually every Tiger game over the years and I'm convinced this is the best one yet. The past couple of years, the sensitivity of the analog stick has been a little too twitchy in my opinion. My wife stopped playing the game due to the difficulty in hitting a straight shot. Tiger 09 has brought the series back with great control. It's much easier to hit generally straight shots even as your player is just beginning with lower skills. They have managed to accomplish this without making the game too easy. It still takes great touch on approach shots and putting to score well. Another plus is the exotic course locations that have been included. Wolf Creek must be played to be believed. Generally fast load times are a plus also. They have completely new commentators this year to freshen things up for those of us tired of hearing the same lines over and over again.
If you love video game golf, you will love Tiger 09!"
