![]() ![]() Much like last year's game, Tiger Woods 2002 opts for analog control for all of the club action, over the oft-used three-click mechanic. The sheer number and variety of gameplay modes available in Tiger Woods 2002 all but guarantees there's something for everybody. The frantic speed-golf mode is new to the series-here, your golfer has to run to the ball after every swing, and your score is based on the number of swings and the amount of time you take to finish a hole. ![]() There's the Tiger challenge mode, which pits you against a series of 17 golfers for cash prizes. The standard stroke, match, skins, and tournament modes return from last year's installment, as does the "play now" feature, which throws you into a randomly generated scenario. Tiger Woods 2002 provides all the gameplay modes you would expect from a golf game-and then some. The game has six 18-hole courses-that's twice as many courses as last year's game-closely modeled after actual PGA tour courses, including Pebble Beach, Copperhead Canyon, and TPC at Sawgrass. The cast of Tiger Woods 2002 consists of several real-life PGA pros, as well as a group of edgier an d more colorful fictional golfers who are more akin to the motley crew of EA's SSX snowboarding games than any real-life golfers. But having introduced the slew of enhancements to Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002, EA Sports has finally created a true 3D golf game that matches the quality of its bigger sports game series. Last year's game made the jump to fully 3D graphics, but the game itself felt undercooked and didn't make any significant changes to a formula that could have used improvement. The only series that has managed to maintain its presence from year to year has been the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games from EA Sports, which seems to be taking its dominant position for granted. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 (PlayStation 2, 2002)įor years now, realistic golf games have been outnumbered by cartoonish fantasy golf games on the console market-and by a pretty steep margin. A game of Speed Golf ends when the opponent's bank account is drained. Players literally run to their golf balls after hitting them, with faster play taking money away from their opponent. ![]() Scenarios offers 25 goals to accomplish on the links, while Speed Golf is a race against the computer or a friend on a vertically split screen. Tiger Challenge is a one-on-one competition against 17 male and female players for the right to unlock them in the other modes. Tiger Challenge, Scenarios, and Speed Golf help distinguish this title from similar golf games. Trophy balls can also be earned for achieving specific milestones like driving over 350 yards, hitting all greens in a round, or getting six birdies in a row. Big money is awarded for winning events as well as making certain shots, such as finishing a putt over 25 yards or saving par after landing in the water or a sand trap. Modes of play include an 18- or 36-hole Tournament, The Skins Game, Stroke Play, Match Play, Scenarios, Tiger Challenge, Speed Golf, and Practice.Įach mode earns cash, which can be used to unlock courses and improve one of six player attributes. Once the ball is airborne, players can adjust the spin or its speed. Players can also punch, flop, and switch to a half swing for more precise shots. The shot system once again makes use of the left or right analog stick to simulate the swing of a club, which involves pulling back on the stick for the back swing and pushing it forward in one straight line for the follow-through. In addition to Tiger Woods, players can compete as or against motion-captured likenesses of Jesper Parnevik, Vijay Singh, and more. Three fictional courses include Copperhead Canyon, Black Rock Cove, and Tiger's Dream 18. Four authentic courses consist of Pebble Beach, TPC at Sawgrass, Princeville Resort, and England's Royal Birkdale. EA SPORTS' fourth title in the Tiger Woods series features a new 3D engine and several different features to set it apart from previous games starring the professional golfer.
