It’s golf... kinda. All the rules of golf apply. You try to hit the ball into the hole in the least amount of whacks. There are some changes, however, that make this not so typical. First of all, it looks very unprofessional (golf is one of the most professional sports I can think of), and there are no links in the world that would allow ‘power up’ balls (not to mention battle mode).
There are sevens modes of play to CyberTiger Woods Golf. Stroke play is the most basic and popular type of play - lowest score wins. Match play is a little different. In this mode, you play for a win at each hole, not for the course in general. In Tiger Challenge, you lose a club from your bag every time you lose a match. This was my favorite type of play. Try playing an entire hole with only your putter left. Battle mode is the mode we just wish we could play for real. The object is to hit the guy standing in the distance. If you can’t hit him, just aim for the TNT sitting next to him. In Skins play, you play for money. The guy with the most money wins. And, of course, there is a Tournament mode and a driving range. At the driving range, you can earn ‘power-up’ balls to be used in other modes of play. There are nine types of power-up balls. Distance, No Bounce, Skipper (for water), Burrow (go right through trees), Wind Cutter, Accuracy, Spinner, Tee Up, and a nice Mystery Ball.
I think this game has great replay value. It’s fun every time you play it. With up to four-player action, this is definitely one the whole family will enjoy.
