Advantages: The Gamface Was A Novelty For About 10 Mins.

Disadvantages: Overcomplicated And Rushed Out, EA Need To Spend More Time In Future.

I've been a massive fan of the tiger woods series since playing on the original playstation, I'm not going to lie and say i've bought every tiger woods game but I have invested in a good few and this one like it's predecessor 2007 is a little dissapointing.
EA seem to have struggled with the past couple of tiger releases by adding too many new features, they would have been better sticking with the excellent gameplay of 2006 and just bettering the graphics, commentary and adding some awesome new courses.
What they did instead is try to add too much new content to the gameplay experience and for me this spoils the game. whether they did this to impress the fanatics or to try and make this more of a golf simulator i don't know but one things for sure this just doesn't have the same pick up and play all day addictiveness that the tiger woods series used to.
However the EA gameface addition is a nice touch and actually seeing yourself play on the course is a novelty for a while until you get bored of it.
Normally I would have completed the game before now but I've only played it about 3 times for an hour because i really didn't appreciate it.
EA need to take a step back to Tiger 2006 and make the next addition to this series a whole lot less complex and a lot more fulfilling to play, it's good to have to think about all the factors before taking your shot, but this effort has to many factors to think about and it takes the fun out of the game.
The graphics are awesome but not amazing like they could have been and the commentary though ok is just as repetative as it used to be, you would think that over the years the AI would have gotten better.
This is in my opinion was rushed out to release and EA should have spent a lot more time on it, it is the worst of all the tiger woods titles, EA need to pull their finger out and rethink the basic concepts of the game before they ruin what was essentially a classic series.

Summary: 2006 Was Better But If You Are A Fan Of The 07 Release Then You'll Probably Appreciate This!
