From Madden when the Wii first came out to Pro Evo last year sports games take the motion controls and make them work in the game not always perfectly but throwing a pass is way more satisfying than just pressing a button This bring me onto Tiger, the Wiimote was made for games like this and with the motion+ add on then its pretty much perfection. The game tracks your backswing, downswing and even your draw and fade (unfortunately for me since I spend most of my time in the trees because of it ). I haven't noticed any fault in the motion control yet, everything swing is fluid and the character on screen replicates your swing almost exactly, well the animation might be different but the speed and accuracy are exact so much so that a lot of people have said they put a golf ball on the floor to aim at and barely look at the screen Due to the accuracy of the motion+ I have yet to shoot under par so the game is definitely not easy, although you can lower the difficulty so you can just "grip it and rip it" and not worry about drawing or fading, every drive will go straight but where is the fun in that. Putting is also a real challenge with the weight of the swing being really important so a lot of putts will come up short or go shootng way past the whole the first few rounds until you get the hang of it My favourtie feature is a Wii exclusive, disc golf. It's as it sounds, you go round the course using a frisbee instead of clubs and a ball it may sound dull but its a whole lot of fun. Again all the controls feel spot on so playing the game is a simple as throwing a frisbee if you are used to throwing a firsbee into the wind, over a cliff and then through some trees So while the Wii might suffer from more rubbish than the other consoles when companies get it right it makes having the little white box worthwhile Edited by hobbes, Aug 9 2009, 02:20 AM.
