Kombo already has a review of Tiger Woods 11. Today, I got a chance to play a hole of Tiger with the Move. The best thing to do, since the game has been completely covered by our own Brad Hilderbrand, is to compare it to Wii MotionPlus. Is that wrong?
In terms of motion control, responsiveness and physical gameplay, the Tiger for the Move and for MotionPlus feels largely the same. Without having both games playable directly next to each other, the feeling after the demo was that the two were nearly the same. Yet I know as I write this that someone some where is standing up to tell me exactly how wrong I am. I’ve played both and they feel basically the same.
But the two do stand wholly apart in terms of graphics. It does matter to some gamers, plain and simple. And for those looking for the same MotionPlus game-changing precision, but in a graphically stronger suit, this is it.
It’s MotionPlus gaming on an HD platform. Opening the club face during the swing forces a slice, closing it too far makes a hook. The same is true across both platforms. It’s just that playing on a course that looks as good as it feels is rewarding in and of itself.
The Nintendo platform will always have staunch support when it comes to gameplay over graphics. That’s a notion almost everyone can get behind. But when the gameplay is as good as the graphics, that’s something else entirely. Take Wii MotionPlus and Tiger Woods and dress it up. If graphics matter, Tiger for the Move may be a more viable option.
