Colors are bright, lighting is realistic, and the water looks quite good, as well. The elevation changes at Riviera, the plateau-like greens at Pinehurst and the magnificent views of Pebble Beach are all here. There are only six courses, but they're definitely replicated with tender loving care. If you can get past the frame rate annoyance - I could, and erratic frame rates drive me bonkers - then Tiger looks fantastic. It's not terrible, and players will certainly get used to it, but it's quite surprising given the power of the Xbox 360 that sits at the developers' disposal. The game hitches at times - and unfortunately, often during a swing. In this area, Tiger Woods is very impressive, but not without a blemish to mar the overall appearance… the frame rate. Mark Twain famously said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled", and the sport's courses are built with beautiful scenery in mind as much as the challenge they present. The Tiger Woods PGA Tour series makes its debut on the Xbox 360 with a game that's more challenging and more exciting than any of its recent predecessors, despite its limited number of game modes and options, and lays a solid foundation for the franchise on next-gen consoles. It's newer, it's prettier… and surprisingly, it's much, much better.
