Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for N-Gage

Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:35 UTC, October 22nd 2009

Electronic Arts PGA Tour series of golf games dates back to 1990 - which should give this latest mobile incarnation some pedigree in terms of gameplay. But how well does it all work on the phone, how much (or how little) has been done for the official N-Gage incarnation, and how does it compare both to the Java version and to the established Pro Series Golf for N-Gage? Find out in my Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 review here on AAS's Ovi Gaming.

"My worry for the official N-Gage version of the title was that EA would just take the 700K Java game and tack on a few N-Gage screens and options. The Java game's playable, you see, but it's never smooth or slick and there are few luxury trappings. The good news is that this is a native Symbian port, developed by Gamelion and weighs in at 6MB, almost ten times larger. But for this, you get far better performance in terms of course animations, higher resolution scenery and a digital music soundtrack."

The first review available in the OVI store says that it's ruined on the N97 due to half the screen being taken up by a virtual controller. Did you try it on any 5th Edition devices Steve?

I do love a good addictive golf game, but I'd like a full screen one on my N97 preferably.

I think people are getting confused, so I'll say this only once:

*** THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE JAVA GAME THAT'S BEEN IN THE OVI STORE FOR AGES. THIS IS A NEW SYMBIAN OS APP/BINARY ***

If you want to see a really good golf game for Symbian, check out Let's Golf HD, whenever it makes to the UK (it's currently available only in Italy and France). However, you'll need a phone with 3D accelerated graphics, like the i8910 HD or the Satio.

This is probably an ok golf game. My problem is I recently bought the same game on my (now sold)iphone 3gs and I just can't help myself comparing them. Had the n-gage version been cheaper.... maybe. But it's not. And the iphone version really puts this to shame. Not only the obvious things like graphics and sound. But they really put the touch screen to good use and swinging is just so much more fun than simply timing 2 clicks.
