A new year, a new golf game from EA games; Tiger Woods PGA 09 is now being introduced. A few new innovations will be included, so that there is no danger of confusing the game with PGA Tour 08. But this time Tiger is not the game’s only star, because he brought his trainer along too. The trainer should even help video game golfers improve their handicap.
Tiger’s personal trainer, Hank Haney, should create an even more dynamic and personal game experience. Although it is not exactly clear what role the trainer will play from the game’s announcement. But it seems the trainer will help advise the player on how to master the current challenge with every individual swing.
The continuation has been announced for the Wii, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. We already know about some exact functions for the console versions. The Wii version, for example, includes the inescapable party version, as well as various control possibilities. More and better online options are available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Moreover, the player’s abilities are determined from the beginning of each game, in order to have a yardstick to judge their performance – just like in real life. The next Tiger is appearing this summer.
