| Quote:ProStroke delivers the most complex control system ever seen on a standard console controller, but the game that's built around it simply isn't exciting enough to sway Tiger fans over to a new series.

| Just read the review posted 8/23/06 and had a few thoughts to pass along. If this game is truly the "Pro Evolution Soccer" of golf games, it would be hard to truly break it down in the space alloted to Pro-G's review. Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven as we know it in the states) is one of those games that you have to get your hands on and experience to truly understand what makes it special. I can't read Pro Evolution Soccer reviews and be made to realize just how special the experience of playing that game is in reality.
Tom Orry makes the following comment in the review: "ProStroke outdoes Tiger for depth, but simply isn't as classy overall." When I first read that, it almost had the ring of an oxymoron. I then got to thinking about the Pro Evolution Soccer analogy, which has now become associated with ProStroke Golf, and Tom's statement started to sink in a bit more.
Let me develop this a bit further. I'm still playing Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven 8) a year and a half after buying it. Why? Because it's "deep". I also have FIFA 2004 sitting next to it on my shelf, gathering dust. It's certainly prettier and flashier (perhaps Tom would say "classier") in action than Winning Eleven 8, but it has so little depth that I'm bored with it before halftime.
The reason I'm pointing this out is this... Tom's statement seems suggest (and I may be totally offbase with this impression) that the "classiness" of Tiger takes precedence over ProStroke's depth. I'm not arguing Tom's point that Tiger is "classier" (in the sense that I think he intended it) than ProStroke, I'm just saying that for me - I prefer "depth" over class... at least in this comparison.
Tom's review was very helpful in helping me decide to go with the PC version of the game, however. At least the higher resolution graphics possible with a PC, some of the graphical shortcomings can be ameliorated. It will also afford a solution to the lack of online play, which the PC version will have, albeit not via a central server. |

| I picked this game up after playing at a friend's house and I really like the new control system. The fact that there's more to do keeps you coming back to it. |
