Summary: What a great/sucky game.
Review: Buy this game only, and I mean ONLY, if you need more aggrevation in your life. On the plus side, the graphics are stunning. Game has great features. Gameplay is also good. On the minus side, this game cheats like nothing I have seen before. I realized a long time ago that certain video games, especially sports games, tend to cheat, and I've accepted this. If you enjoy hitting a strait 10 foot putt on what appears to be a perfectly flat green, only to have the ball veer off at the last second causing you to miss the putt by an inch, then this game is for you. If you enjoy having your 5 wood shots, that normally travel 200+ yards, go considerably shorter when you have to hit over a body of water; again, this is the game for you. All that being said, for $10 it's a pretty darn good game.

Summary: Dont Buy if you have a good computer
Review: I bought this game with high hopes that it would run well on my 2.4ghz 800fsb, 512pc2700 drr, and 9600pro card, but no. The game is plauged by frequent hangups even though I've intsalled all the latest drivers and patches. The graphics were nice in the space between the game running and freezing. Just wait for TW2004, maybe it will be able to run well on good computers.

Summary: Bad GUI, very restrictive configuration.
Review: I don't have any problems running this on my system and my system is not top of the line. My issues are in the way they restrict your options regarding swing type. Most likely you play career mode in this game. Well when you create your golfer for career mode, you have to pick a swing type (TrueSwing, 2-click or 3-click) and stick with it the entire career. You can't change it. There is no reason for this. Also, You can pick your swing-type in a menu like you would expect, the one time choice is literally hidden in the middle of a tutorial. Awful. Also, the other primary mode in the game is PGA Tour mode. I haven't yet found a way to get your carrer mode golfer over to PGA Tour mode. I don't think it can be done. Lastly, there are 5 'attributes' to your carrer mode golfer. What some of the attributes mean I couldn't tell you because there is no description of them in the manual. Also undocumented are the rules for games in career mode. I played a match play event, and won after the 3rd hold. Huh? I was expecting a full 18 hole set. But my complaint isn't the number of holes, it's the lack of information so you don't know what's going on. This had the potential to be an incredible game but some extremely stupid things like those listed above that would be SO SIMPLE to fix kept this from being a good game.

Summary: Great fun, but....
Review: I own the 1999 and 2001 games. The 2003 has great graphics, but I thought the others did, too. The narrators should not be taken seriously. They say you are in the trap and you may be in the rough and vise versa. The rough is extremely difficult to get our of and unless you have a fairly new mouse, the drives are difficult to put in the fairway. If you are not in the fairway, lookout. Some courses, Hawaii and Britain have roughs beyond belief. Your scores could be horrible. I found that putting is far superior on this game than any of the rest. You had better learn the courses and study the clubs used for each shot. They are all set for you but that doesn't mean they are the right ones. More often than not, they are. All in all, this is the best Tiger Woods game I have every played in spite of what I have said. Be sure your computer is capable of handling the game or you might experience some freezing up.

Summary: Always the go to game
Review: I was never much of a golf fan myself,but i rented this game not really expecting too much and boy was i surprised.First off this game is very easy to learn in a matter of a couple hours and it always presents new and interesting challenges.I have bought several games here on Amazon.com and have never been as pleased with the replay factor of any of them quite like this one.I would recieve my games ordered from amazon and play them for about an hour and always ended up putting TW2003 back in before the night was up.This game is WELL worth the money for the replay factor alone.I must say though the graphics are really not as good as i had hoped they would be and it does have a few glitches now and then but nothing that makes it any less fun or any less playable.The PC version of this game is not as fun but the graphics are way better.Overall i gave this game four stars just for the graphics alone cause everything else is pretty good,well with the exception of the annoying slow-motion heartbeat,but it's a must have in my opinion.

Review: I've only owned the game for 4 days, and already I am addicted. The Career Mode is fantastic, and the graphics are catching up to Links. I highly recommend this game to any fan of golf.
