Tiger Woods meets MotionPlus for winning combo

A welcome addition to the popular EA Sports franchise, the latest instalment of Tiger Woods PGA Tour golfing has become all the more impressive with the use of Nintendo’s innovative MotionPlus accessory.

Both the game and the new accessory set out to provide a heightened sense of realism, bringing the genuine golf experience home to the living room.

The MotionPlus builds on the Wii’s main concept of pushing the boundaries of gamer interaction and traces players’ movements more accurately than ever before.

The game itself tailors current weather conditions to your own area, courtesy of the weather channel, with the golfing gameplay altering under different circumstances.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 showcases the accessory’s capability excellently, imitating exact golf club movements to initiate that perfect swing.

Casual gamers are able to play at ease with the game’s preset modes while more ardent golfing fans can alter masses of settings to their hearts’ content.

Players can up their chances by playing as legend Tiger Woods, while a wide selection of other golfing pros are available to choose from.

Aside from a small amount of time for familiarisation, the gameplay and controls are easy to understand and players will quickly be attempting to perfect their game against the rest of the family.

This is seriously great, and it’s a better showcase for the WMP than Grand Slam Tennis was (for instance, you actually have a visual “cue” to show the WiiMotionPlus is plugged in for starters, as well as a visual tilt meter to show it’s working!)

The character editor is terrible though. I couldn’t seem to make anything even vaguely human. Most look like the blow up dolls from that infamous episode of Only Fools and Horses!
