Here's my initial impressions of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii with motion plus.....

I have to say I had really high hopes for this years Tiger Woods game because of the M+, and it honestly has surpassed all of my expectations.

This is is MUST BUY for all Wii Owners, and the version to purchase for all multi console owners.

TW10 is without a doubt the best golf game I have ever played. M+ makes it very realistic & completely immersive.

M+ perfectly reads what you are doing. Take putting for example. For the first time in a TW Wii game putting works just like real life. My first putt, I swung a bit harder than you would in "real life", and my ball shot across the green. It very accurately tracks whether you are taking a long or short putt. You can either look at the onscreen meter, or just swing like you would in real life. Follow through really matters too. The aiming with the M+ is perfect, the worst feature of last years Tiger is now perfectly executed. 2009 putting is still available (not like you would WANT to use it), but with motion plus, just select precision putting instead of standard and you will be amazed.

The swing mechanic? Wow. Taking a shot feels, well....natural. M+ works so much better than any of the previous versions, the accuracy is almost scary. When driving, the harder you swing, the farther the ball goes. Hit at 50% power with a slight fade, that's what you get. Power swing with a draw?  You actually having to worry about both your backswing and power/follow through in a golf video game. And if you don't know how to do those things in real life, the tutorial is concise and explains the basics of it all in few short (2 minute) lessons.

Motion+ makes the gameplay jump lightyears beyond any other golf game ever made. The gameplay certainly leaves the more visually stimulating versions(PS360PC) far behind.

The weather on the course you are playing is based on real time weather at the actual course location, which TW checks from the Wii's weather channel.

And the amount of content in this game boggles the mind. Most content packed Tiger Woods game ever.

I have only tried the disc golf, but it really shows off the M+. I tried throwing it traditionally, straight up, straight down, backhand and I have to say it works very well. Lots of fun. Gets me excited for Wii Sports Resort!!

2 other points of interest:

There will be downloadable content in the future.

If you are playing local multiplayer, you can play with a "Pass the Wii remote" mode until you get more M+ attachments.

I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good golf game. It's brilliant.

What are your initial thoughts? 

I have a question: If you play at night, is the course you play on dark? Because that's pretty much the only time I'm going to be able to play and I'd rather not be in the dark every time.

i'll copy what I said on GAF:

The girlfriend and I are loving party mode.

of course the first thing i did was play now because i wanted to check out motion plus. holy shit is it a lot different. i really suck at this, but i'm having fun doing it. the last tiger woods game i played was 03 on xbox 1 so i have no idea really what to do, but whatever. looking forward to spending more time with this tomorrow.

There's so much to do... I haven't even looked at party mode yet...

@PhalanxCO : You always play during the day, it doesn't show time of day, only weather. And you can turn the weather feature off anytime you like.

Sweet, thx.

wait...so are all those 27 courses 9-18 holes? That's a hella lot of golf.

Got it today and only got to play 9 sweet, sweet holes and quickly try out disc golf before I had to run out but yeah, THIS IS THE GOLF GAME WE'RE ALWAYS WANTED.

It plays like golf.

Putting, finally, is perfect. The meter just messing me up, but if I just eyeball it and swing I get exactly the shot I wanted.

Disc golf seems like a lot of fun but I need more time with it. But it is a fantastic addition and effective makes for an entirely separate game at no extra price.

I've never really played a golf game (except for some sorta cutesy golf game for the PS1), but with WM+ control, I imagine this would be pretty nice. My best friend golfs all the time, would sorta be fun to play it with him.

On a related note, I was watching the show True Blood recently, and the main vampire had a Wii set up to a projector playing a golf game. That looked like a pretty sweet setup. Anyone do anything like that IRL?

Haven't played TW since 06 but i will definitely be picking up this one.

I picked up my reserved copy from GS last night (and forgot to ask for my preorder bonus, grr)

I only had time to play 9 holes and some frisbee golf, but the controls feel great.  I think the motion+ will finally let the wii do what everyone hoped for 3 years ago; I'm very excited.

Now where's my Ultimate Frisbee 2010???
