SeekerTiger Woods PGA Tour 08
It’s a sobering thought that we’re already on our third Tiger Woods on the Xbox 360 – I guess we’re way past the point where we can talk about Microsoft’s breakdown-prone box as a next-generation console, and also past the point where we can get too excited about the usual annual franchise updates. Tiger Woods 06 bought the franchise into the HD era, but as several courses and plenty of content had gone missing in the transition from the PS2 and PC versions, it felt like a bit of a rush-job.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is a respectable golf title that unfortunately doesn't make any significant improvements over last year's title. The Shot Confidence stuff is a decent idea, but it can punish you when you try risky shots that are already difficult enough, while safe players won't notice much of a difference. The FedExCup Tournament is just an extra set of events on courses you will already golf on in the PGA Tour, so that doesn't add a whole lot. Again, this is largely the same game we saw last year, so while it's certainly a fine golf game, it's not really worthy of a new purchase if you have 07.

Tiger 08 boils down to a few additions, but not much change overall. It's still a great game, but the new additions, other than Shot Confidence to a degree, really don't alter the core game. Tiger fans, of course, will no doubt eagerly drink up anything the game has to serve, but casual fans may want to stick with last year's if they're not willing to shell out $60.
