   Here’s my initial impressions of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii with motion plus…..

   I have to say I had really high hopes for this years Tiger Woods game because of the M+, and it honestly has surpassed all of my expectations.

   This is is MUST BUY for all Wii Owners, and the version to purchase for all multi console owners.

   TW10 is without a doubt the best golf game I have ever played. M+ makes it very realistic & completely immersive.

   M+ perfectly reads what you are doing. Take putting for example. For the first time in a TW Wii game putting works just like real life. My first putt, I swung a bit harder than you would in “real life”, and my ball shot across the green. It very accurately tracks whether you are taking a long or short putt. You can either look at the onscreen meter, or just swing like you would in real life. Follow through really matters too. The aiming with the M+ is perfect, the worst feature of last years Tiger is now perfectly executed. 2009 putting is still available (not like you would WANT to use it), but with motion plus, just select precision putting instead of standard and you will be amazed.

   The swing mechanic? Wow. Taking a shot feels, well….natural. M+ works so much better than any of the previous versions, the accuracy is almost scary. When driving, the harder you swing, the farther the ball goes. Hit at 50% power with a slight fade, that’s what you get. Power swing with a draw? You actually having to worry about both your backswing and power/follow through in a golf video game. And if you don’t know how to do those things in real life, the tutorial is concise and explains the basics of it all in few short (2 minute) lessons.

   Motion+ makes the gameplay jump lightyears beyond any other golf game ever made. The gameplay certainly leaves the more visually stimulating versions(PS360PC) far behind.

   The weather on the course you are playing is based on real time weather at the actual course location, which TW checks from the Wii’s weather channel.

   And the amount of content in this game boggles the mind. Most content packed Tiger Woods game ever.

   Included are almost every golf related activity you could imagine, this will keep you busy for a LONG time.

   Online Modes include:

   *Online play: both simultaneous play & real time tournaments, daily and weekly.

   Traditional Modes include:

   *Quick Play
   *PGA Tour
   *Fed-X Cup

   *Stroke Play

   *Bloodsome
   *Greensome
   *Skins
   *Stableford
   *Alternate Shot

   *Rings
   *Elimination Mode

   Mini Games
   *Mini Putt (Putt Putt)
   *Target
   *T-I-G-E-R
   *Capture the Flag
   *Target2Target

   I have only tried the disc golf, but it really shows off the M+. I tried throwing it traditionally, straight up, straight down, backhand and I have to say it works very well. Lots of fun. Gets me excited for Wii Sports Resort!!

   2 other points of interest:

   There will be downloadable content in the future.

   If you are playing local multiplayer, you can play with a “Pass the Wii remote” mode until you get more M+ attachments.

   I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good golf game. It’s brilliant.

   Great golf game, but the graphics didn’t quite make par., June 9, 2009

   Fun: 

   This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Wii Motion Plus Bundle (Video Game)

   Sorry for the bad pun in the title, but the first words out of my mouth when booting this game up were, “Oh wow! Tiger got ugly!” Thankfully, first impressions don’t matter for much with this game. Mostly, I purchased this game to get a crack at the new Wii Motion Plus controller accessory, so this review is as much a review of the game as the hardware. If you buy the version with the wii motion plus pack-in, you also get a new silicone sheath for the wii remote, which is a nice touch.

   GAMEPLAY: So basically, the game is golf, something that I do quite poorly at in real life. Golf games and I do about as poorly. Every few years I go out and buy a golf game, and I basically pay attention to fun and accessibility. On both counts, the game is very, very good.

   CONTROL: With the Wii Motion Plus, this game plays better than any other golf game that I’ve ever played. Give yourself thirty minutes with the new motion controls and you may never be able to go back to Wii Sports Golf. The controls feel realistic and responsive, but kind enough to make the game accessible to a golf neophyte. Without the Wii motion plus, all I could think of doing was putting the motion plus accessory back on as quickly as possible.

   GRAPHICS: Serviceable. I’ve seen a lot better looking games on the Wii. Water is barely animated and looks pretty pixelated, trees are low res, and character models are only a bit better looking. Character animation is very smooth though and the game seems to match your motions in real life fairly nicely. Oh, but not the crowd… they look really really bad and are animated extremely poorly.

   AUDIO: It’s golf with announcers. Sometimes the announcers say some pretty funny stuff, but mostly it’s what you would expect from any golf event, either in a game or in real life.

   FEATURES: Absolutely stuffed.
   - This game has lots of game modes, one of them being disc golf. I can already tell that disc golf is going to be one of my favorite party games. Disc golf does away with the announcers and replaces them with some tacky elevator music, but party games usually end up with the stereo blasting mixes from someone’s iPod or Zune at unhealthy levels, right?

   - Character Customization: Deep and highly customizable. Want to make an aging, pot-bellied, Asian, redneck, punk-rocker with missing teeth, a mohawk, cowboy boots, fu-manchu, mutton chops, and a kilt? You can do it. My friend and I spent at least 45 minutes tricking out our characters trying to make the most outlandish combinations we could think of and we had fun doing it. You can go into the shop and buy additional stuff with your winnings to get even more cool items to trick your character out with.

   - As you play, your character gains experience in different abilities and areas. You can spend this experience to boost your stats. This definitely increases the replay value for completionists.

   - Online play that doesn’t require friend codes!

   - Dynamic weather that integrates with the Wii Weather channel. Seems kind of cool. The feature definitely isn’t based off of your local weather and seems to be based off the weather at that particular golf course in real life. I’m pretty sure of this because it was raining heavily all evening in my town and none of my games had any rain.

   VALUE: With over 20 courses, disc golf, and a decently deep experience system will keep dedicated players playing for a very long time. Multi-player gameplay is a blast and great for groups of friends.

   Overall, I recommend this game to anyone that enjoys golf games and also to gamers that only casually enjoy golf games. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the best golf game that I’ve ever played to date. This game has features that I’ll probably never ever see or even touch, but other people may love them. The nearly instantaneous ability to pick up and play the game is very nice, but there are enough nuances to the game that hardcore players will definitely have a game to hone their skills on. This is probably one of the only sports games I will ever review as a “must have” title for anyone who enjoys the genre.
