Game Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09

Tiger Woods may be recuperating, but the videogame that bears his name is in rude health.

After last year's underwhelming effort, '09 feels like a step forward. This is most noticeable when looking at the basics, with the swing feeling smoother and more natural. This is especially true of the Wii version, which uses the Wiimote to great effect. But on PS3 and 360 as well things seem to be more accessible this time round. It's still easy to skew off the fairway, but the inclusion of Tiger's real-life coach helps and the controls generally feel more forgiving. Online has been beefed up too, with four players now able to play on the same course at - crucially - the same time. The meat of the game is the PGA Tour, with money and skills upgraded as you plough through the 16 courses and numerous challenges.  But playing against other humans is where the game really comes alive. Tiger Woods '09 is a triumph.
