Tiger Woods Pga Tour 12: MastersElectronic ArtsI had not expected a picture of the current incarnation of the Tiger Woods – penitent, pushed over by resentful sponsors and even more resentful women – but I was expecting a picture of the Tiger in the workplace. Mid-Swing, perhaps, or high-fiving an anonymous caddie. But Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: Masters ' packaging contains a whacking great "Champions" logo with Woodss name in an apologetic, undersized font as an afterthought. Ubiquity is conditional.
Apart from the rather sudden rebranding is TWPGAT12: TM recognizable to anyone who has played yearly games Tiger Woods since 1998 's Tiger Woods ' 99. All so beloved of minutiae golf enthusiasts – club selection, slices, fades, weather factors, terrain – is in place, and the game engine that controls the strength of the swing manoeuvres of putting, and so forth are instantly recognizable.
The big news for TWPGA12: TM is, as the new, unwieldy title suggests, a great deal of work to include the course Augusta National. As iconic sporting venues go, Augusta fell right up there – and the opportunity to compete for the fabled Green Jacket is an undoubted boost for what was a bit moribund franchise even before the Tiger so spectacularly from commercial grace. For the first time Xbox 360 page and PS3 was consoles choice, so that there is a real reason to buy the latest Tiger Woods. You just can't recognise in the store, that is all.
