Tiger Woods Pga Tour 12 : The Masters (Wii)
A**R
GREAT CONCEPT BUT FLAWS IN OPERATION
I bought this after using PGA tour 11 for some time and the software is equally clever but just as frustratingly flawed as before.I don't have my wii connected to the internet so the new feature of trying to connect at start-up means that I have an awful long wait for it to discover that there is no connection each time that it starts or is reset.In fairness, the picture quality of this version is better than before and the feeling of playing golf is very realistic as usual. But, as in the previous version(s), you are offered such a limited number of clubs - generally, for long holes - two woods and no middle irons - just 2 or 3 wedges. So for medium shots, instead of using a mid iron to lay up as in real golf, you have to under-hit a driver or make do with just 50 yards distance with a wedge - ludicrous. Why they can't offer a full set of clubs is beyond me.As before, there is no consistency in the distance you can attain from the rough which is really annoying.As for the new caddie feature to help you make your choice of shot, I thought that this option would offer a greater choice of clubs. But because I have ignored it quite often on long holes and used the driver off the tee, if I click on "caddie" it now offers me only the same club and no options - useless!So we have this software with Tiger's name attached which clearly, he has never used, otherwise he would be stupid to promote it - no doubt he just banks the money. This could have been a really superb product but the producers can't be bothered to finish it properly. I understand that this is probably, the last time this will be produced and can only hope that another company comes up with a more sensible product that reflects the real game properly. Having said that, there seems to be no other golf product available that offers any competition - shame.

Got to be the best golf sim/game.
Well this is magnificent, has to be the closest thing to playing the actual game but in the comfort of your living room, the "Road to the Masters" is fantastic with real course conditions and the adrenalin buzz as you watch your position change on the leaderboard alongside other players and when you finally make it to Augusta National and find your name on the scorecard with Woods, Clarke, Els, etc,this is the icing on the cake Ok it's only computer generated but with the brilliant graphics you feel as if you are really playing the course, congratulations EA sports for allowing us on these hallowed fairways and greens alongside the greatest names in golf. I highly recommend this game and give it the 5* it rightly deserves.

Finally Augusta
This is similar to other EA Sports games versions of golf. The controls are pretty much the same. But it does have one or two bugs such as very exagerated hook/slice occasionally and one when a few cm from the cup the ball refused to go in and kept bouncing back from the edge. Apart from that it is ok.

Husband and mate love it
Bought this for my husband and his mate who disappear down to the shed to play on the Wii. They love this game. It offers far more than you think; lots of different courses, games, and extras like crazy golf that my 3 year old can join in with. They like the graphics and all the extras. I would highly recommend it.

Improvement over previous games
Vast improvement over the previous game but "caddy tips" can be a bit hit and miss but graphics better than former games (10 & 11).Generally good fun especially in this English summer!

B the game today
The game is very good,better and quicker to setup.on the down side on the green when putting there's a white ring over the hole and dirty great arrows showing the contours of the green,i know these can be turned off but i think it would have been better to keep the same as 11.Overall an enjoyable game.

Great game
I bought this to replace an old PC version. Play it every couple of weeks with friends and share a couple of bottles of wine.'Is it the wine or the game'. Not quite sure but we sure do have some fun playing it. Highly recommended.
