Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

"But looming over everything is the fact that the most fundamental gameplay element of Tiger Woods 08 -- the swing -- is essentially flawed. And so in spite of the solid competence of most of the rest of the game, I'd recommend you rent the game before purchasing. Just to make sure you've got the patience for it. Of course, if you play a lot of golf in real life, you're probably made of patience. So knock yourself out. Just don't use that 3-wood."

"I came away impressed with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. I am in no way a fan of the sport (I call it a sport dubiously) or of the franchise. Yet I still find myself emotional over a missed opportunity or a miraculous shot. This is not your father's golf game. Tiger has come a long way in providing a fun and diverse number of different ways to tee off. I chip it... I mean, I dig it."

"Sometimes when you’re golfing you nail a hole because you bail yourself out with a superb putt, chip, or tee shot. But this game is instead like masterfully shot hole, where each stroke feels just right."

"Due to the flaws within its very gameplay, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 doesn't garner the same stellar recommendation as the previous year's solid game received. Fans of the series will still want to check it out, if only to mess around with Photo Game Face and Shot Confidence while tackling all of Tiger's numerous challenges. However, this feels like a struggle to reach the next green rather than a leisurely stroll back to the clubhouse. Do yourself a favor and approach with caution."

"As demanding and strenuous as the PGA is, ACL blowouts are surprisingly rare. So essentially, if you've played any Tiger Woods title for the past several years, you can safely skip this outing."
