That might sound hypocritical, but I think I have a good defence: each new game typically contains several new golf courses, which essentially acts like brand new levels that provide a spectrum of unique challenges.Īlas, the franchise has, in recent years, drastically scaled back the number of courses that appear in the games, now offering far fewer than appeared in editions released for previous generation platforms. Tiger Woods PGA Tour when it's released each fall. That said, I naturally pick up the new version of The games represent a giant yearly paycheque and require fresh coat of paint to the menus and a few dozen new character models.

Indeed, thanks to the low expectations of fans, sports games are a major cash cow for developers like Electronic Arts. What doesn't compute is why they spend $60 or $70 annually on what amounts to pretty much the exact same game, just with updated rosters and stats and maybe slightly tweaked controls. I understand that there are millions of sports fans who also play video games and that they'll likely buy games based on the sports they enjoy. The immense popularity of sports video games doesn't make sense to me. The Verdict: EA duffs this year's version of the world's most popular golf videogame franchise.The Bad: Poor golf course selection relative to earlier editions for previous platforms analog swing controls have been crippled new GamerNet feature adds a nearly infinite number of tedious player-created challenges.The Good: New confidence meter and ball spin controls are well implemented.Also available for: Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Windows PC, Mac, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS.
