Tiger Woods PGS Tour is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 thrown over onto the DS. The game came out around the time of the DS launch and it wasn't received all that well. I thought that this game was a great game. It brought all my favorite elements of Tiger Woods from the consoles and I really enjoyed this game. The graphics may not be the best ever but other than that this is a fun DS that takes full advantage of the touchscreen features.
Some might argue that Tiger Woods PGA Tour on the DS is one of the ugliest games that they have ever played on the DS, and though that may in fact be true the graphics are not to the point where you cannot figure out what is going on. The ball is easy to find and the environments do have things like houses in the background and things like that, that add to the feeling of playing a console version of Tiger Woods.
Control wise this game controls well. You use the stylus to control the power of your swing and how straight it is. If you are used to the controls of the consoles than this will take some getting used to, but once you master it you soon realize that there was no other way that they could have had the controls be. The controls in this game are pretty good once you get used to them.
The multiplayer is here as well, so you can play with your friends who also own a Nintendo DS. Anyway I have no complaints here and the multiplayer in this game is pretty fun if you know people with the handheld as well.
The sound in this game is on par (no pun intended) with what you would expect from a golf game on the DS. They are not the greatest that you will find in a DS title and it doesn't feature the one music track that Madden 2005 had.
Overall Tiger Woods PGA Tour DS is a fun game and should not be missed if you own a DS and are a fan of golf, and now you can finally take it on the go with in the form of a fun game (other than Mario Golf that is). The fact that you can just randomly turn the game off and have the game waiting on the hole you were on when you shut it off without having to save just makes the title feel even more portable. It is the perfect game to have whether you are playing for ten minutes or an hour Tiger Woods PGA Tour DS is the way to go.
Pros:
+ Great swing control
+ Great portable feeling
+ Can play game for any lengths
+ Lengthy career mode
+ If your friends want to play multiplayer is really fun
Cons:
- Graphics could be better…
- … and so could the sound
