Loot Ninja has put in a lot of time with both the PS3 and Xbox 360 demos of Tiger Woods 08. Their average score is 5 under for the 3 holes (They did get a 7 under once). Comparing the two, they would have to side with the Xbox 360 version.

David Kenson writes "Tiger Woods 12 manages to squeeze out a few more improvements on Tiger Woods 11's already full rostrum of options. Like last year, MotionPlus allows the game to capture a one-to-one backwards and forwards stroke, but now it adds the Balance board into the swing equation for the first time."
He provides a comparison of the different version of Tiger on the Wii, which highlights the up-and-down nature of the EA franchise.
That's a very thorough look at the last five titles in the series as compared to the latest. I have to say that I'm occasionally addicted to golf games, although I prefer them on the arcade-y side (I loved Sensi Golf on the Amiga!). If I take the plunge again this will be really helpful!
Not 100% sure about using the balance board. I suppose it isn't as vigorous as Raving Rabbids but the board isn't as stable as a golf course. Interesting use of the board though.
Good grief... well I guess if I played golf this could be an amazing teaching tool. As I don't Ill have to play it with features all turned off if I want any hope of success. Still good for EA to at least be trying to make use of the Wii peripherals and iterating on a franchise on a console where most developers just pump out lazy ports.
Teh at Gogaminggiant.com takes a look at the Tiger Woods franchise and its decline of quality over the years. Through the use of facts and cultural puns, Teh brings us an opinion piece that you don't want to miss out on anytime soon.
The last and best golfing game I played was Links 2004 for the Xbox. It was an absolute blast with 3 other friends or through the old XSN leagues. I miss that game.
I've always hated golf games, I just dont see the lure of golfing games since they're both so boring.
Also, yes it would be fun to have the south park tiger woods fighting game. Pre-nup power-up!
This is quite off topic but....
whats absolutely crazy, I feel bad for Tiger, sure, he is a cheating a-hole, but he had to give his wife like 500 million dollars, this is an embarrasment, think about it, his stupid wife get's 500 million for not putting out, what a stain on society.
While some guy's wife who gets the shit beat out of her by his druken worthless ass, gets half a carton of newports and some state paid reconstructive surgery.
There should be a cap for what a woman is entitled to, she does nothing and gets everything.
The limit a woman should be allowed to get in a divorce should be like $50,000
alright lady, go off on you own, heres 50 g's, shiiiiit, Tigers wife would be blowing him right now then giving him a pedicure if she knew leaving only ment 50 g's.
The 360 version clearly looks better to me. I have both my PS3 and 360 hooked up with HDMI to my 1080p DLP. The 360 version looks sharper with better colors. The PS3 version seemed a bit washed out with less defined lines and edges.
did anyone else find the demo extremely EASY?
except the last hole
~better on the 360? not surprised
Well since it's not the PS3's fault but the Dev then I don't think this game is worth my time. I don't care for sloopy seconds.
regardless of which system it looks better on, its crap, i read a review on here yesterday that stated that the game is full of bugs and £uck ups! just your usual EA wank!
How the hell can you review demo versions of a game? obviously the complete noob who write it just wanted to start a flame war, which it will even tho 99% of the people who say 'ha xbox is better' probably wont even buy it...
$60?? pfft, just go buy some REAL golf clubs!
edit @: drunk pandas , why not go and read the other thread and you can read what they have said about the complete build not a demo, they list at least 6 faults with it, one of which is the fact you can put your face on a golfer as EA's server didnt work which was the main new feature of 08!
Why would they release a game that is flawed?
