TUAW's Daily App: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12

by Mike Schramm Mar 30th 2011 at 8:00AM

Along with the console versions released recently, EA has also dropped an iOS version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, featuring the latest and greatest in golf simulation for the iPhone and iPad. As much as other developers may rail against EA on the App Store, there's almost never a question of quality, and this app is no exception. This is a quality golf game that does a great job of replicating a lot of the features of the popular console series, like the controls (yes, you can spin the ball in the air, which may turn some hardcore golfers off, but you don't have to). There's a checklist of pro golfers to play as and against, and eight official courses like the classic St. Andrews and TPC Sawgrass.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 has four different modes to play through, from straightforward solo games to a full PGA Tour mode; mini-games and a "Closest to the Pin" social challenge mix things up quite a bit as well. The one real glaring omission in terms of features is Game Center integration, but EA's eschewed Game Center lately -- hopefully that's not a growing trend.

At any rate, if you like golf and iOS gaming, you'll enjoy this one. It's currently US$6.99 on the iPhone and $9.99 on the iPad, but there is a free version to try out on the iPhone. If you think the prices on this or any other EA app are too high, just wait until EA has yet another sale.

"there's almost never a question of quality"

Apparently you don't consider frequent crashes to count against quality. For example: Sim City or Command & Conquer on iOS.

The description states support for multiplayer via wifi or bluetooth. Does that mean no local multiplayer - as in handing the iPad back & forth to a friend right next to you? Would enabling something like a local 2-player game hurt sales for the developer? I don't understand why so many games, particularly pinball apps, are written this way.

If you get a hole in one does it unlock the porn stars?

I think the reviewer is being unprofessional with this comment. Note that he doesn't state that in his opinion the price is too high, which would have been an acceptable part of the review. Speculating out loud that other people may think the price is too high and counselling them to wait before buying the app means he is no longer minding his own business, and delving into that of a company whose products give him subject material for his blog.
