Apple Thoughts: Tiger Woods PGA Tour Hits App Store

"Features of the game include: * Touch and drag to engage the Swing Meter * Swipe your screen to activate the Ball Spin * Golf through 7 of the most famous courses in the world * Play as or against Tiger Woods and challenge 4 other PGA Tour golfers * Enjoy 3D graphics, realistic sound, and moving environments * Personalize your User Profile and customize your very own golfer * Record and track your game statistics"

My most-played X-Box 360 game is now probably going to be my most played iPhone game. I was concerned, initially, about how they would translate the controls onto the iPhone (with most of the games I've played on the iPhone, the controls are usually what makes me stop playing relatively quickly) but EA did a magnificent job in giving a nice responsive swing translation to the touch screen UI. Overall, the game is just awesome, plays great, has commentary, multiple career modes, and even includes my favorite golf course of all time, TPC Sawgrass. If you're in a hurry, there's even a 3 hole "Quick Play" mode in case you don't have time for a front/back 9 or full 18.

If this is the calibre of what EA's sports titles are going to look like on the iPhone, other developers can consider the bar seriously raised. If you're a golf fan and enjoy golf games, go buy this one. I promise you won't be disappointed.
