Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13

« I ended last year's review by saying, "I don't know how this game can possibly get any better, but I look forward to seeing EA try to best this almost-flawless installment, and what is arguably the best version of PGA Tour in the history of the franchise.". Well, somehow they did manage to best their previous efforts, so I will let that statement and challenge conclude this year's review as I return to the links for another year of great virtual golf. »

« It's getting harder to improve upon a title that has seemingly thought of everything for its fanbase. EA Tiburon did a great job in bringing Tiger Woods into the home as not just a golfer, but as a member of their own family with his Legacy mode. The Kinect makes this title that much better. There are some minor issues with the new swing mechanics that increase the difficulty perhaps a bit too much, but once you get past those, you'll find that Tiger 13 is just another solid title in one of EA's more under-appreciated franchises. »

« In the end this could be the best golf game you have ever played, or the worst, and it will all be dependent on how much you can adapt to the new swing mechanics, that while take the most realistic approach in video game history, don't provide the option for casual gamers to revert to a different or classic mechanic. »

« Even if the motion controls lack a true 1:1 golf swing experience, the Kinect adds a nice new gamplay experience to the series. And if motion controls generate little interest for you, the Country Club mode and other additions warrant your investing time with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13. »

« The developers have seriously enhanced Tiger Woods PGA Tour, refining the gameplay, enhancing social features, and even affecting the way the game's extras are unlocked. They've delivered a complete package that offers golf fans the most refined, deepest-and, most importantly, fun-golf experience in years. Whether you're a casual golf fan or a hardcore PGA wannabe, you'll find plenty to love in this year's offering. Now, we just need a few more hours in the day to get out to the course… »

« Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is far more than just a more of the same. Thanks to many new features and a great Kinect implementation, this game is a fantastic sports game for newbies and pros as well. »

« There are some technical flaws and minor annoyances, but the strength of the game shines through them. It's not an ace, but it's on the green and very close to the hole. »

« While the presentation could still use work, the tweaks to the play mechanics add a welcome layer of depth in how you approach and execute shots. More importantly, it strikes the right balance between easy to learn and hard to master that's been conspicuously absent from earlier entries in the long-running series. »

« Average gameplay but good graphics for its time. Career mode was ok not very exciting, »

« Until I get a full game with all courses available I will not play this game or give it good reviews. That is all I ask for, a complete game. I don't want to have to download anything after I buy it. »

« Coming from last playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008, this game is an utter failure. It seems like this game is made for the people who really aren't serious about golf, or those who don't know about in-depth mechanics of golf. Being able to deck a driver out of a plugged fairway bunker? I don't think that's very possible. Tutorials are taught when you stumble upon actions in the game. They're not all introduced whenever you begin the game, nor is there an obligatory tutorial. Not to mention the putting is insanely touchy, and all the unnecessary things added. Club selection is dull, contains just about the same amount of selection as Tiger Woods 2008. There are no shot modes, nor can you gauge how far you're actually swinging the club. This isn't worth the rent if you're looking for the old simulation that golf games used to be. Golden Tee goes more in-depth than this. »

« Gameplay mechanics are good in general. Putting though feels like lottery and not a skill game like swinging with other clubs. Graphics are ok, but not great. The level of detail is surprisingly low considering the game engine does not have to handle a whole lot compared to your average racing sim or FP shooter. The character animations are very dated. Knowing what can be done with character animation these days it's puzzling that the players are so unnatural in their movements. The embarrassing constipated walk routine and robotic swing animations are not really up 2012 standards. The stuttering animations between shots and long loading times between holes are also annoying but of course do not affect actual gameplay. Kinect is a disaster as allways. A good game, but due to EA's usual money grabbing "extra content" shenanigans, you only get **** when you exit the store and don't go buying this one used either. There is a use once code included that must be bought again if you want all the bells and whistles. »

« Easily the best golf game I have ever played. The controls are challenging when you first pick it up but with some practice they become very intuitive. You can actually feel when you mis-hit a shot but when you hit a great shot it is very rewarding (just like real golf!). You actually feel excitement when you play well, I was playing in a tournament with my player and managed to get my first hole-in-one and I literally jumped up off the couch and pumped my fist. The my player mode is amazing with you starting out as an amateur and working your way up to the PGA tour, with a chance to play the Master's as a amateur. Tiger mode is fun and mixes up the challenges. If you've enjoyed any Tiger Woods games in the past you should definitely pick this one up. »

« My buddy and I rock Tiger Woods PGA 11 all the time. It's an incredibly fun game, and it's very user-friendly. You don't have to learn how to play PGA 11. You get better at using the advanced controls, but you don't have to spend hours learning how to play the game. THIS GAME, on the other hand, PGA Tour 13, is a pain in the a** to play. The controls feel far too complicated and the game just doesn't feel right.. »

« Good gameplay, characters, my player, along with Tiger woods legendary mode, but kinect gameplay lowers my rating a lot. It was a good game all around, but kinect makes this a 6/10. »

« Bellissimo, davvero un gioco coinvolgente. Consigliato a tutti, non solo agli amanti del golf. Rilassa, soddisfa, impegna, insomma ha tutto un mix per passare diverse ore senza accorgersene. Andare sul green e centrare la buca da 10 metri è davvero il massimo, quando ormai sembrava tutto perso.... Per non parlare dell' hole in one, un orgasmo unico! Da avere! »
