Tiger Woods 06 demo on Live

By Tom Bramwell Published 18 April, 2006

Try out four holes.

Microsoft and pals continue to round out the array of free demos on Xbox Live Marketplace with stuff from five months ago - adding Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 to a list that last week saw the addition of Amped 3.

The demo is a whopping 890MB and for that you get to play on your own, or against Tiger Woods, on one hole each from four of the game's courses - TPC at Sawgrass, Riviera Country Club, Carnoustie and Pebble Beach.

The full game consists of a Career mode, along with stroke play, match play, skins and sundry options, online golfing, and a character design tool - a healthy amount of content, but not, as we said in our review, a patch on the relatively enormous current-generation console releases.

If you enjoy the demo, you might want to check out the most recent Xbox version instead, which despite offering very little over its own predecessors is still probably the best version of EA's golf series around. Although if you do that, you should also beware that none of the Xbox 1 versions of Tiger Woods are compatible with the Xbox 360 at this time.

    Too late, EA, you already stole MY money.

  • Talha #2 6 years ago

    Hey, the PC version is the best!!! But I digress - one would think they'd be putting up Tiger Woods 07 demo up there!

    I wish that microsoft would make Links backward compatible. I know they probably never will as EA won't want people playing golf games without paying them money...

    But I really like Links. I don't need better graphics for golf. I just want to play it on my 360...

  • Talha #4 6 years ago

    Don't know about Links, but Golf 2.0 was the first game I ever bought, and boy did we have a ball with it on my uncle's Pentium 166 (with 1MB on-board graphics). There was a time when games could knock you out with their graphics and gameplay entirely running on the CPU - how I wish that were true now.

    "I wish that microsoft would make Links backward compatible."

    Agree!!

    But whatever happened to the Links series... why no new Links games ?

    Was this a casualty in the war-to-get-EA-support-on-Xbox-Live ?

    I will give this ago tonight (Still trying to complete TW2004).

  • Talha #7 6 years ago

    @S.J.Rogers : I think TW2004 is the best version so far, with a stunning amount of content. Stick to that, IMHO.

  • S.J.Rogers #8 6 years ago

    @ Talha : I appreciate your advice and I believe you are correct..!

    Does TW2004 work on the 360? (I will try it out tonight).

    To Beano:

    As far as I remember Links was a casualty of microsoft's "lets get EA signed up to Xbox Live" crusade. Whcih is a real shame as I much prefer links to tiger woods.
