Others are completely new, such as the addition of TPC San Antonio to this year s game.

Visuals and sound in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 are quite good. Augusta National looks as majestic in this game as it does in high-definition on TV. Golfer models are very good, too... and seeing Rickie Fowler sporting that Oklahoma State neon orange is a sight to behold. The visual presentation is kicked up a notch over previous years, with a more television-style presentation including better-looking leaderboards and great replays. There s not a lot for stat overlays, such as driving accuracy or previous hole performances, but what is here is pretty car rentals in atlanta convincing. car rentals in atlanta The music is heavy on piano; it all sounds like stuff you d hear on a telecast of The Masters, minus the theme that CBS uses every year. Commentary is legitimized by the addition of Jim Nantz to the broadcast booth; while his commentary is light, hearing car rentals in atlanta him praise your skills is pretty amazing. David Feherty returns to the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise for the first time in four years. His on-course analysis is very short and hollow, and has no humor or emotion as it had in previous games. There are more than a few lines of commentary that were lifted from last year s game by Scott Van Pelt and Kelly Tilghman and re-recorded by Nantz and Feherty. That s a little lazy.
The gameplay is fantastic. The option to play without Focus is a welcome addition, choking up on a golf club to shorten distance is an asset, and the analog car rentals in atlanta swing mechanic is tight and responsive. Some shots feel a little easier this year; I ve already had more than my fair share of approach shots to the green that found their way into the cup for eagles. It seems easier to get the feel of shots that require less than a full swing, but that could be attributed to my experience with past games in the series. Putting can be a shade inconsistent, especially early on before being able to dedicate XP to improving in that area. Even reading the proper putting line can lead to putts that skim just by the lip or zoom past the hole. We ll see if this continues when I post the final review.
There s a lot to like about The Masters: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 already. Is it the best golf game for the Xbox 360? The jury is out on that question, car rentals in atlanta but my final review will tell all. In the meantime, I have a tee time at Waialae Country Club for my first PGA Tour event as a professional, so check back soon.
