Whether your video golfing ability classifies you as a tour-hardened pro or weekend duffer, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 provides ample opportunity to refine and enhance your strengths. Gone is the swing power meter in earlier incarnations in favor of a new wrinkle from EA Sports--Total Precision Swing. Essentially, the onscreen golfer is your real-time power meter, as you now have the ability to control his or her entire motion, from backswing to follow-through. Power drives, insane-angle slices, fading hooks, and more can all be executed with the proper touch. And while the Total Precision Swing's learning curve is steep, it does add new flavor to the game.
Among the new game modes are the Tiger Challenge and Speed Golf. In the Tiger Challenge, you compete as Woods against a progression of 17 players--some PGA Tour players and some original EA Sports characters--to earn cash rewards and the right to unlock hidden golfers. You can also unlock individual holes on Tiger's Dream 18, a course designed by Woods himself. Speed Golf features a fast and furious race to the hole in which you can either compete by yourself or split-screen against another player. Money is earned in head-to-head competition by finishing the hole first, and through bonuses for such things as teeing off first and hitting a longer drive than your opponent. Any money earned is subsequently drained from your opponent's total, creating all-out mayhem on the course. Other game modes offer stroke, match, and tournament play, skins, scenarios, and practice. Also, Play Now mode offers a helpful tutorial that you must complete before moving on to further options.
Visually, the game's many courses and related elements depict a stunning, near-live experience. From the well-kept fairways and greens of Pebble Beach and the TPC at Sawgrass to the otherworldly dazzle of Copperhead Canyon, the courses come alive with rainy mists, murky fogs, and glowing sunsets.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 Reviews
| 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Quite simply the best console golf game in years, By Ben D Over "bmw330i" (Cary, NC United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 (Video Game) Fans of the big-headed, no talent needed to play, Hot Shots Golf series can stop reading. Tiger Woods 2002 is not for you. TW2002 is what I like to call a *great* golf game. The engine has been revamped, and gone is the ... [bad] swing meter (FINALLY!). To swing the club now, you use the analog sticks, and it works better than any tri-click method could ever hope for.EA messed up last year by only including 3 courses, but remedied that this year with 7. The shining jewel in their crown is Pebble Beach. No other golf game has been able to mimic how difficult this course can be, or how important it is to place your approach shots under the pin. Sawgrass is also a thing of beauty. There's 2 more real courses, and then 3 courses EA dreamed up, and what wonderful imaginations their designers have. What I love about the game (and what some may detest) is that the game has you create a player, and then build that player by beating challengers in the Tiger Tourney mode, or by playing in...

Ocean surf pounding the rocks off Pebble Beach, beautiful desert buttes on Copper Canyon, birds chirping and flying by, trees sway one at a time as if a breeze is really touching them one by one, cameras following the speeding golf ball on its flight path over stunning hills and caverns. No swing meter - innovative and thanks to EA Sports for taking that step. Sure it's a bit tough to get used to at first, but once you get the hang of it, the old swing meter on every other golf game seems archaic. Six courses (also included are the famous Sawgrass and Royal Birkdale) and Tiger's DREAM course that needs to be unlocked hole by hole with each victory. One of these days I'll get to create my own course (it's an option). The speed golf option is down-right fun... but obtaining bronze/silve/gold medals is nearly impossible. This SIM also features a practice mode (where you can visit...

I was trying to wait for PS2 on-line capabilities before I bought another golf game, knowing full-well that the good folks at EA Sports would take advantage of the opportunity and put out an online Tiger game as soon as the switch was flipped on the network. Then my best friends bought this game, and called me over to see it.WOW!! It plays VERY different than the initial PS2 game - it plays much tougher, in a good way. You have to "build" your golfer by purchasing attributes with the money you earn in the game. You start off as a pretty poor golfer.... but after the first few golfers you defeat in the Tiger Challenge, you can be decent. The game basically consists of three main gameplay modes where you can earn cash: Tiger Challenge, Scenarios, and Tournaments. The Tiger Challenge pits you against a golfer in a skins game. Very fun, very challenging. Each golfer is better... Read more |
