Across the widespread green pastures, among scattered spectators, the Golf tiger looks daggers and hits the ball too hard with his branded golf club at sweet spot and displaces the bell to the other side of the course decorated with small ponds and green pastures over to the pot in latest iteration to the Tiger Woods PGA series named Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07.

EA lets you taste the new flavor of the sports genre with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07. Emotions were one of the biggest obstacles in the way of videogame developers but with inflicting the emotion thing in the sports genre, EA has done exceptional.

The game makes you feel every emotion in each move of the game with the help of all-new Universal Capture (UCAP) technology.

The Golf-king Woods plays under pressure amidst huge crowd, ad hits the ball too hard to make it soar it in the sky for a bit extra seconds with a bit longer trajectory, and traverse nearby greens to a distant one to near the hole.

Gameplay:

Firestone Country Club, Glen Abbey, Princeville, Spyglass Hill, St Andrews, and Bandon Dunes, these are all the clubs where you get a chance to mesmerize the golf fans with your adroit stokes.

The game comes with some fine character customization capabilities that you can customize more elegantly with improved modification abilities.

The game is available over various platforms including Xbox360, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Wii, PC and PSP.

If we talk about all three platform title, it is Wii version that received most of the reviews following PS3, Xbox360 and other sixth-gen and portable version.

I tell you why Wii version outshined other versions, because as the player hits the ball very first time with golf club via motion sensing Wii-mote, the gamer feels a liberty as he swigs his arm freely in the air and then brings down with high velocity to hit the ball hard.

Incorporated Wii-technology senses your power, trajectory, and your natural hitting tendencies so that you can make better and more efficient strokes every time. One thing that makes you laugh or brings you more fun is the shots you try to hit hard but miss the shot.

PS3 version also looks in quote good tune with game as Sixaxis motion sensing capabilities of the PS3 controller makes a good use in the game with its tilt to replace the standard in-air spin control, iff anyone want.

If you enable the feature, then instead of moving your arm high in air to suspend more spin, you can use the Sixaxis controller to control the intensity and direction of spin by tilting it in the preferred direction to make the desired or potent stroke.

On other platforms like PS2, Xbox, PC and PSP, excluding Xbox360, the game seems average to me.
