I have always been a fan of the Tiger Woods series even though I'm not a golf fan.

I was very impressed with last years edition, and this remains the tradition this time around. The new edition has some very nice additions which make the game more realistic and provides more interactivity with the real world.

The graphics are nearly the same but have been updated a little bit. This hasn't been a problem for me as I thought the graphics on the previous version were impressive. The gameplay remains practically the same which again is good for me as I'm used to the style of it. You still have the option between the TrueSwing and the 3 Click System which gives a good balance of the game.

EA Sports have provided users with the chance to use a real weather system which has been implemented. This allows you to play on a course with the real weather that is current in the area. So for example, if you were playing on Gary Player CC in South Africa, and the current weather was rain, then it would rain on your game.

The online mode remains practically the same, it's still simultaneous play which is good as it won't lag and you can get on with your round without having to wait for the rest of the players to finish theirs.

One complaint is the Pro Shop, where the items are terribly expensive. For example $30,000 for a t-shirt! To make this more realistic, surely $30 would be more appropriate.

Overall, the game is an improvement over last year but not by much. Some nice additions sees this game get a hole-in-one from me.
