It’s fun, but unlikely to hold your attention for long. There are also daily and weekly online tournaments for each swing type so you can pit yourself against the world’s best virtual players – though the Country Club feature, which let groups of players form a social hub together, is missing.Īnother new addition is the Nightclub, which boasts 170 challenges and introduces special bonus effects to shots.

Gradually, you watch your golfer’s stats grow as you shoot lower scores and finally get to go driver to driver with McIlroy himself.

You can create your own PGA pro and find out exactly what it’s like to grind out 72 holes of golf on a week-by-week basis, or just play the key holes in a round. There are also a decent variety of challenges to experience. Each swing type is fully customisable so if you are finding certain elements of the game too tough (the dreaded diagonal swing, for example) then you can chop and change as you please to bring the game exactly to the level you wish to play it. Where the game truly comes into its own is the level of choice on offer. There will be a lot of frustration at first, but as you improve, hitting better shots becomes hugely rewarding and you begin to feel like you really deserve your place at the top of that leaderboard.

Any slight deviation from the line shown through the swing visualiser and you are going to be hitting a lot of shots from the thick stuff or worse. It’s challenging but with some adjustments to timing and rhythm, a consistent result can be produced.Īdding to the mechanic, however, the player must swing diagonally from left to right to shape the ball in flight – and it is tough. Break too early and you will come up short, too late and overshooting your target is a danger. As in the arcade motion, players draw the left analogue stick back to begin their shot, but now they must wait until the club is fully drawn to begin the down swing. The Tour swing is intended for the “hardcore” golf gamer. It’s fine, but it feels dated, offering a simple binary control input designed for old school joypads with buttons and D-pads rather than today’s sensitive analogue sticks. Click to begin your swing, click to select the amount of power you need and, on the down swing, click again inside the markers to determine how accurately you hit the ball. One stage up is the classic style, a traditional three-click swing that will be familar to anyone who has played a golf sim in the last 20 years. It’s a great option for beginners, but it will quickly leave you wanting more. You can add shape to the ball or adjust the trajectory, but as long as you apply an easy swing, the ball will end up exactly where you want it. You just flick the left analogue stick back and forward in a fluid motion and McIlroy does the rest. The arcade swing is the easiest to control and lets you start hitting shots with laser beam-like accuracy. There are three interfaces to choose, catering to different skill levels. The true purpose of the opening, though, is to introduce both newcomers and PGA veterans to the game’s revamped swing mechanics.

It is unusually candid, offering a lot more insight than most golfers ever would in a TV interview. But the nostalgia fades as McIlroy, directly addressing the player, talks about how it feels to stand on the opening tee in the final round of a major championship. It feels strange to begin the “Prologue” section of the game and find McIlroy staring back at you recanting his own experiences, rather than reliving some of Tiger’s many achievements. Now Rory McIlroy, who looks just as fiercely motivated and skilled as the young Tiger once did, will front a fresh chapter for the series.Īt first, long-time fans will most likely find the absence of Woods jarring. Tiger Woods has been the cover star since 1998, but considering his wane in fortunes, it is understandable that he has been bundled into a golf cart and sent on his way.

For 24 years, the PGA Tour series has dominated the world of golfing simulations, its hegemony threatened only by the mostly PC-based Links series – and the more approachable Everybody’s Golf.
