One of the things people love about the Wii is how it has changed sports games. Wii Sports proved that the remote can be used to realistically simulate a wide variety of sports and other companies have taken notice. Of course, EA Sports dominates the sports video game market and managed to squeeze a ton of motion controls out of Madden 07. Now it is Tiger's turn.

Yep, in Tiger Woods 07 for the Wii, you need to swing the remote like a golf club. You can press the minus button to step away from the ball and take practice swings. This is ideal for testing just how far you need to swing the remote to send the ball soaring. Press the minus button again and you will square in front of the ball. The button mashing power boost has been removed and now the boost works with the swing itself. When you swing, an on-screen bar tells you how much power you have put into the swing(much like in Wii Golf) and you can swing extra hard to put boost in it. Controlling the spin is done by holding the D pad on the direction you want the ball to spin and shaking the remote while holding this direction. Putting fade or draw on swings is done by tilting the remote while you swing.

Included in this version of Tiger Woods 07 are 18 different courses and 35 golfers. You'll see famous PGA courses such as Pebble Beach and St. Andrews, as well as a handful of fantasy courses. The game modes include the traditional Tiger Challenge, as well as a PGA Tour season, a quickplay mode, and a practice mode. In addition, there are some familiar minigames such as the target shoot, where you try to land the ball on a number of targets of varying difficulty, and the skills 18, which has you trying to shoot through colored rings on the course. The green rings are easy to hit and get you a small amount of points, while the yellow and red rings are progressively more difficult to hit but award more points. There's certainly plenty of golf in this game to keep you busy, but you don't have to play by yourself. While there is no online multiplayer, you can get a group of friends together for some four-player multiplayer.

The graphics are really good for the Wii, but not as good looking as the PS3 and 360 version. The sound is good as well and some added Wii effects have been added, such as the sound of club hitting ball coming out of the remote's speaker. We will have more info on Tiger Wii as its release date in March approaches.
