Tiger Woods '07 for Wii

[gogolfing]

My family just bought a Nintendo Wii; while it's officially for the kids doing well this year in school, Dad quite enjoys it too Has anyone out there played Tiger Woods 07 for the Wii? I have gone to the website and it looks pretty cool, but of course they're trying to sell me one. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and what you thought of it.

Thanks

My roommate has TW '07 for the Wii. I was playing it on Xbox before he got it, and I can't do it. There are a lot of input errors with the wiimote in this game. It's happened to me repeatedly where I would set up for a swing, start pulling back, and the game decides that my backswing is done and starts the downswing. If you don't catch it in time by releasing the B button, it will hit your shot at 60% power or so which is intensely frustrating. In addition to that, it can be hard to hit the ball straight and you have to watch out for slices and hooks. Personally coming from the Xbox version where there are no unintentional input errors, I can't play the Wii version of the game and only play the Xbox version.

The only thing the Wii version does a good job of is mimicing some of the frustration of golf.

Those happened to me at the beginning but practice couple times you will be fine. I can hit it straight, slice or whatever now besides the stupid short game really drives me crazy sometimes. I like that game a lot, worth to try.
