Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Xbox 360, 2007)

I played 04 through 06, and found them to be a breeze. On 05 i routinely posted scores of 20 under in a round. In 06 i turned off the powerboost and spin control to make it more challenging. NOT THIS TIME! Not only can i not pimp all over the game like in previous versions, I have trouble playing on "hard" at all! I couldn't win anything on hard, so i had to level it down to normal just to compete. I was shocked! The controls are way less forgiving, the courses are tougher, and the scores are much more realistic. I'm just happy they made the competition realistic too. Tiger doesnt score birdie on EVERY HOLE like in the old games.

I liked the level up system in this version. Instead of just buying your skills with cash, you have to practice in mini-games to sure up your game. And i REALLY like that you can level up just from playing. If you bomb it down the fairway, your power stats go up. If you sink a put from 45 feet, your putting goes up, etc.

Overall I'm pretty happy, but not terribly impressed with the graphics. Fairly lackluster for a 360 game, but thats my only real complaint. Its a great addition to the series, and worth buying.
