Fun, but with very long load times.,
Graphics – 4
While the graphics look crystal clear on the beautiful PSP screen, the details are not as impressive as I had hoped, especially when compared to some of the other PSP launch titles. The greens look like plain astroturf most of the time, and it is hard to distinguish any differences between the fairways and the rough other than their color.
Sound – 4
Again, I am comparing this game to other PSP launch titles like Ridge Racer. The music is inferior, but does not play such a large role in the game. The sound effects, on the other hand, are pretty good.
Gameplay – 3
Very, very long load times. Much longer than you are accustomed to on the consoles or for other PSP games. While the game is relatively fun while you are actually playing, you will spend way too much time waiting for each hole to load. This is unacceptable for a portable system, where the point of the game is to prevent boredom, rather than produce it.
Content – 5
The career mode (tour) is a lot of fun. You open courses, competitors, equipment, etc. as you progress. It definitely helps the replayability. The WiFi capabilities, however, are what make this worth buying.
Total – 4
This is a very good portable version of the console golf games. My main concern about this game is that you can’t even think about turning it on if you have less than 30 min to burn. With all the loading involved, nine holes will take at least that long to play. Although the game is fun, if you plan to use your PSP to fill short periods of time (while commuting, etc.), then a different game would suit your needs better.

This game is quite awesome. It is the second title that I got for the PSP and I just can’t stop playing it. I’ve never played the Tiger Wood games before so I’m just thrilled to death about all the customization options. It’s really fun, and it is challenging so that you want to play more and more to improve your personal golfer. All that aside, the load times SUCK. If you wait too long on the title screen, it goes to a loading screen for about two minutes and then starts playing a demo movie. When you hit a button, it goes to another loading screen and then takes you back to the title screen. There is also a lot of time in between each hole. The game is phenomenal if you can stand the loading times. It’s a five star game that loses a star because of loading…

|Pretty good game,
Overall, Tiger Woods for PSP is pretty good. However, there are some things I think that could be changed to make this game a little bit better.
First off, the loading time is awful. Each hole has to load and it actually takes longer to load all the holes then it does to play the holes.
Secondly, the made up courses such as the Amazon are way too difficult in tournament mode. I have over a 100 rating in each attribute category and I feel great when I shot par at these courses, but the computer always shots -9 or better. If you actually play them head-to-head, they can’t shot lower than 80 at these courses. On the other hand, once your attributes are over 100 the real courses are way too easy. I shot 54 at Harbor Town.
Lastly, when you get to the Legends Level, you face some of the greatest golfers of all time. This level is actually challenging and the only thing I would have like to have seen different is actually playing a full 18 holes against the likes of Palmer, Hogan, or Nicklaus, instead of the best of 9 holes.
Overall, I love the game. I am deployed and I usually play a round each night, so it has made my time go by a little faster here. If they could make the changes mentioned above the game would be a 5, but I can only give it a 4 as is.
