Loot Ninja Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All Play

Loot Ninja writes: "I love golf. One small problem: I sort of suck at it. I wasn't bad when i was younger, but good golf clubs are expensive and it's not like i can afford to join Bushwood anytime soon. So, playing real golf, outside of drunken par 3 at a pitch and putt place was put to the side. That is until Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All Play came along. This is the closest thing to real golf I have ever played and for the first time in, well, ever, my Wii is getting some much needed use.

There has to be a reason to pick this up for the Wii instead of a true next-gen consoles. Right away, you will notice some graphical consequences. Most Tiger games look fantastic. This looks good. Not bad, but not great. There are some jaggies and screen tears, but the game looks good enough for the Wii. That is the major difference outside of the controls, which I will get to in a minute. The sound is also not as sharp as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The play by play can get stagnant and sometimes the crowd seems like they aren't there or paying attention to the 325 yard drive you just stuck in the fairway. Outside of the obvious concessions, the Wii version is superior and this is very evident the minute you pick up the Wii Remote."
