Tiger Woods 10 isn’t just a convincing case study for how MotionPlus can, in the hands of a skilled developer, turn Wii games into much more rich and rewarding experiences. It’s also one of the rare cases where the Wii version of a game is unquestionably the “big-boy” version—with more courses, more game modes, great online play, and controls so realistic and utterly addictive that the PS3 and 360 versions seem like mere toys by comparison. Only the most hardened console fanboy or strident graphics whore could dare argue otherwise.

About our scale… the number of words in our review reflects the score of the game. In practical terms, you could assume that games reviewed in 49 words or fewer should be avoided, games reviewed in 50-75 words would make a decent rental, and games reviewed in 76 words or more would make a solid purchase.
I agree for the most part, except I am finding I only enjoy playing with other people. Before you say it, I know that the wii is meant for group play and I should make more friends. In reality, my enjoyment of this has nose dived. Listening to my office mates talk about last nights games and such, I am now really regretting the wii purchase.
“Big Boy” this may be, but now that the swing mechanic has lost its luster, I am feeling remorse. If the wii had “real” online play with voice/friend management, perhaps I would be in a different state of mind. In the end, this is going on Amazon today or tomorrow.
Love the new review format–you should try to get a patent before the big wigs steal the idea.
Anyway, I’m going to give this game a second look. The last golf game i enjoyed was the original Hot Shots made by Sony, and early Links games for PC.
