 Tiger Woods 08 November 12, 2008
I was having a hard time at first getting used to the game and when I did the game was awesome. I think you should buy the game off amazon because the price is really low.
Keeps me out of trouble when I get bored September 27, 2008
I was impressed at the options when it comes to customizing your character, but I wish the face was easier to see. It's fun to play golf with the pros programmed into the game, it challanges you to improve while showing you how good the pros REALLY are.
Papa's perfect antidote to a waiting room magazine July 14, 2008
I picked this up for myself to use on my sons' Nintendo DS. I have no interest in playing most of the games they play but they occasionally talk me into a couple rounds of Mario Kart (my 4-year old leaves me in the dust!)
With the prospect of several doctor visits and with each a prolonged stay in the waiting room, I bought this game to take along. I've never owned another golf game, so I can't speak to whether the '08 version is better than its predecessors. And that's what makes my review unique: I'm speaking from a beginner's viewpoint.
The game is simple to figure out. That's a big plus. I don't have to be an experienced gamer to figure out the controls.
Speaking of the controls, I thought sweeping the stylus up the screen would be a piece of cake. No problem with 15-foot putts, right? How hard could it be to draw a straight line one-inch long?
Well, it is harder than it looks.
I'm improving, but I've got a long way to go. There are practice modes for each skill, putting, chipping and driving. I haven't even mustered up the guts to challenge Tiger to a shootout at Pebble Beach.
All in all, this is a fun diversion and sure beats reading two-year old copies of People magazine in a waiting room.
 Definitely a winner! April 9, 2008

Well, I'm new to DS, but I can spot a good game when I see one. TW 08 gives many variations in game play. You can play a match, do challenges, practice the challenges, open WiFi to play online or local net, download/pass play, and last but not least... The Tour.
My technique was to gain all the skill points by doing the challenges, then try the Tour. I had to supplement my challenges with free matches to make enough money to have enough skill. Had to re-do the first couple of challenges due to lack of skill... and knowledge about BOOST.
Multiplayer is good. Practice is fine. Free matches do their job. The challenges are... challenging (but only at first). The stylus use for swing control is excellent if you know what your doing. Controlling a fade or slice is difficult. I found easier to hit a straight shot then use ridiculous spin. As for putting... The putting control is very easy as well. Use the d-pad to move your shot, using the stylus is difficult due to the sensitivity.
I have an issue with the poor scenery, I think the graphics could allow for a little more detail. The only down fall to the game is that after I maxed out my guy... everything was TOO EASY! After all the challenges are complete I whooped Tiger himself! Then I walked through the Tour season without a problem. My aggregate score was usually 35-42 under par while the rest of the field was around 8 under par.
Overall, a very good game.. I haven't started my second season so I'm sure if it will be any more difficult. I do recommend the game for any golf fan. Creating your own person (hair, physique, clothing) is fun and the control you can have over the ball is excellent.
Completely addictive March 28, 2008
I bought this game for my husband, but I've enjoyed it as much as him! I don't even golf, but my competitive nature has come out with this one. It's so much fun.
