By and large, this drag-and-flick mechanic mimics the act of swinging a club really well. As you can see, every aspect of the shot is handled with the touch screen. Once the ball is in flight, you can put frontspin or backspin on the ball by rapidly drawing upward or downward strokes on the touch screen. Dragging in a straight line will result in a straight drive, and angling your stroke will cause the ball to veer to the left or right. You can take a brief pause between the backswing and downswing to charge power into the shot, but the overall shot strength and distance is mainly determined by how quickly you draw upward on the touch screen. After selecting a shot type and club from the touch screen, you simply drag the stylus downward on the touch screen to initiate your backswing, and then pull it upward to strike the ball.

Wisely, the development team threw out the trace-based shooting mechanic from the previous Tiger Woods game and implemented a more intuitive drag-and-flick mechanic for this latest installment. Sadly, the online component drops match play, but it does allow head-to-head competitions in all of the other configurations. Match play under the 'one ball' option is especially fun because you and a friend have to take alternate shots using the same ball. Stroke, match, skins, Stableford, and shootout-style configurations are available for both solo and local multiplayer. The more you play, the more you'll find yourself bouncing between the different Tiger challenges and PGA events to earn the money necessary to buy into individual contests and to purchase new clothes and better equipment for your custom golfer.

You can practice specific holes, go through a full round on any of the eight included PGA courses, test your skills in dozens of golf-inspired minigames (called Tiger Challenges), or take advantage of the built-in memory to gradually work through an entire season. The new touch-screen swing controls are intuitive and engaging, and though the overall presentation is a touch plain, the onscreen depiction of the various professional golfers and PGA Tour courses is remarkably realistic.Īn abundance of play modes let you get in a few quick swings or spend your whole afternoon on the green.

All of the play options you could want are here, including offline and online multiplayer. However, that long wait was worth it, because Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 surpasses its predecessor in every possible way. Armchair golfers have grown accustomed to getting yearly updates of the Tiger Woods series on consoles, but Nintendo DS owners had to wait nearly three years for their latest Tiger fix.
