Oh boy, I just got a new PS2 game. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06. It is a briliant game that just kicks ass.

I like the player feature design because I can make myself look like anyone i fancy. Then there is the Pro shop that features a lot of brands from Nike to Macgregor.

I also love the 'My Skills' setup. My initial skills were crap and I scored 18 over par for a pro tour. The pros I compete with has skills around 10 each for driving accuracy, approach, recovery, concentration, focus, luck and what not. I started with 1 so I have to play well in the small leagues before I can increase each skill.

The 'Rival Mode' is cool because that is where I can get my skills point. All oustanding shots are rewarded with points on various skills and I can use this points to add on to the current skills. If I beat a chracter in the rival mode, they will be unlocked and I can compete with them in the traditional game modes.

I can get sponsorship offers if my performance is noted by companies that want me to carry their brand.

The gameplay is cool because I use the analog stick to swing and sway the shot to make a straight, fade or draw balls. The game has 'Gamebreaker' Meter that increases after a good shot and decreases if I hit a bad shot i.e. ball landed in a bunker, rough or hazards. When the meter is full, i can use it to reduce an opponents confidence or make fantastic shots.

Overall, TWPG2006 is a must buy for golf fanatics.
