Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
There are certain things we take for granted whenever a
new Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf game comes around: the best
graphics that can be found in any golf game, a sumptuous and
flexible control system and the chance to match our skills
against those of the world’s finest golfers. But every iteration
of the all-conquering golf-sim franchise brings something new,
and in the case of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, EA Sports is treating
us to that most venerable and venerated of major championships,
the Masters.
You simply can’t call yourself a true golf-nut if you have never
dreamed of slipping on the fabled green jacket. And if you can’t
contain your excitement at the prospect, you can jump straight
onto the Augusta national course. But it’s far more satisfying to
gain entry on merit – via the Road to the Masters, which is
basically the Career mode. It starts you off on an amateur
nine-hole event, and if you do well in that, you swiftly acquire
your Tour card; from then on, how quickly you progress to pitting
your skills against the fearsome Amen Corner depends entirely on
how swiftly you are able to propel yourself into the world’s top
100.
Ramming home the focus on the Masters are nine Masters Moments,
which take over from the familiar Challenges found in previous
versions of Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf. These invite you to
replicate iconic achievements from Masters of yore, such as
Tiger’s own chip-in on the 16th in 2005, or Arnold Palmer’s eagle
on 13 in 1958.
Another key, all-new feature is the caddy system. Once you try
it, you’ll find yourself wondering why past golf games ignored
this key aspect of the game. The caddy suggests s for you at
the touch of a button, and is particularly useful for beginners,
as it introduces you gently to the subtleties of drawing and
fading, loft, spin and so on. But it isn’t just for beginners:
each course you play has a set of Course Mastery Objectives
divided into gold, silver and bronze, and as you start to achieve
those, your caddy (powered by wondrously high-tech artificial
intelligence) will learn, too, offering increasingly imaginative
tailored -options.
Online, the mighty GamerNet system is back which, once again,
lets your imagination run riot by posting countless challenges
for your friends (such as longest drive, nearest to the pin and
so on) – just what fanatical golfers need to maintain their
insatiable thirst for bragging rights even when the weather is
too filthy for them to contemplate venturing outdoors. As before,
you can build up a serious online reputation by taking part in
tournaments and racking up GamerNet points.
In terms of courses, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions include 16
each in the box, with a further 20 available as downloadable
content, while the Wii version packs in 24 courses, although
those are not being augmented by DLC. Golfers making their debut
include the Molinari brothers, Ricky Fowler, Zach Johnson, Bubba
Watson and Henrik Stenson. Those looking for the ultimate in
physical authenticity will be pleased to hear that the
natural-motion systems employed by the PS3’s Move and the Wii’s
Motion Plus have been considerably honed and upgraded for Tiger
Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters – the latter can even incorporate
the Wii’s Balance Board to measure how ed you are when you
play your s.
