Frisbee golf video game

The Nintendo Wii is an exciting and unique gaming system that is fun for the whole family. If you have not tried playing a game on the Wii I highly recommend it because it will change your view on video games. One of my favorite games on the Wii is the Tiger Woods series of games. Every year EA Sports comes out with a new Tiger Woods game, however this years game is a little different. In Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, there is a special feature called "Disc Golf" where you get to play frisbee golf using the Wii remote with the Motion Plus device connected to it.

The best part about the game is how real it feels and looks on the screen. When you use the Wii remote it feels like you are tossing a frisbee in real life. In the game there are 3 discs that you can use: a driver that goes 150 yards, a mid-range that goes 75 yards, and a putter that goes 20 yards. Another great feature the game has is your ability to choose the way you throw the disc. There are 3 types: backhand, forehand, and hammer. Similar to frisbee golf, there are hazards that surround the course such as sand and water, and if you land in one you receive a stroke penalty.

There are a couple things about the game that I do not like. One thing is that you play on an actual golf course. I would have liked the course to be in a park, a forest, or wide open field because that is where most frisbee golf courses are located. Another issue I have with the game is the way they measure the distance of the holes. In frisbee golf, the holes are measured in feet whereas in the video game it is measured in yards.

Overall, I feel like this is another step forward in the sport gaining popularity. The Tiger Woods video game is very popular around the world, so if more people purchase the game, the more people will have the opportunity to try the unique disc golf game. Here is a video that I have posted along with this post that demonstrates how the game is played.
