The latest edition of Tiger Woods' perennial golf game inevitably hit stores Monday. And while
last year's make revolutionized the game, this year's version, as most expected, is simply "spit and polish" (EGM).
Thus is the fate of most sport's franchises… add some features and sell it again—hats off to Sega & ESPN Games for
drastically slashing the prices this year (even if they were simply desperate for sales). This is not to say that Tiger
2005 is a bad game, but it's not necessarily worth upgrading for $50. And it's not to say, if you're new to the series,
it wouldn't be better to pick up a copy of the now bargain-priced 2004 version. But if you're a 'sucker' for the latest
and greatest 2005 adds a nifty course-altering system, GameFace II (an upgrade to the
create-any-face-imaginable feature), new licensed courses, and minor gameplay tweaks. It's your call.
