August 6, 2007 - When the Wii first debuted everyone was thinking the same
thing: "Gee, I bet a golf game would really clean house on this system."
After nearly a full year with the system, however, there still hasn't been
that definitive golf game that puts everything else to shame. Nintendo opted
to go the uber-casual route with Wii Sports Golf, using true distance
tracking but not incorporating hook and slice, while Super Swing Golf
delivered true-to-life spin manipulation at the cost of a true, fluid swing.
Wii初次發表時就被認為極適合高爾夫球遊戲，不過開賣近一年以來尚未有決定性的
遊戲發表，Wii Sports Golf與Super Swing Golf都有其缺憾。
And then there's Tiger Woods, the series we all thought would blow away the
competition. Last year's outing (which, amazingly enough, came out less than
five months ago) suffered from glitchy swinging, a lack of precision when
dealing with hook and slice, PS2-like graphics, and some odd IR issues when
physically "grabbing" your aiming circle and manipulating it around the
course. We've had a chance to go a few rounds with Tiger Woods 08, and while
a few things have been changed for the better, it's extremely obvious that
this is only a few versions more than "last year's" effort.
還有被寄予厚望的老虎伍茲系列，但去年(事實上是不到五個月前)該系列發行的遊戲
也有許多問題:揮杆問題、左曲與右曲球不夠精準、PS2等級的畫面，以及奇怪的IR指
向方式。我們這次有機會在"老虎伍茲08"揮杆幾場過後，發現問題已有所改善，但也
發現此版本只比舊版改版好一些而已。
After putting about three hours of solid play time into Tiger Woods 08 we've
come to a very similar initial impression as we did with the last game; it
works, but it's not all there. Tiger Woods 08 uses better swing tracking, has
more in-depth tutorials, and is an all-around better game of golf than it was
last year, but it's still plagued with a few Wii-mote issues, and they really
hurt the experience.
三個小時的實測後，我們獲得的第一印象與舊版極為類似:這種玩法有效，不過還不夠
好。老虎伍茲08採用了更好的揮杆偵測、更深入的教學示範，而且比去年所有高爾夫遊
戲更好，不過仍然有一些與Wii-mote相關的問題，而且這些問題影響了遊戲感受。
For starters, the hook and slice manipulation has been changed for the better
- at least a little bit - and you'll no longer worry about hitting straight
shots only to have the ball rocket to the right in a gigantic slice,
splashing into a pond or hitting "out of bounds" sections. When you hit
straight, Tiger Woods 08 knows it, and rewards you for it. As another solid
upgrade to last year's effort we're finding that swing tempo and power are
factored into the equation far more.
對初次接觸的玩家而言，左右曲球打法稍有改善，而對直球的偵測大有改善，不會有
嚴重左右偏斜的情形。另一個明顯改變則是揮擊節奏與力度的平衡。
Rather than having the player auto-swing once you begin to move (as found in
the standard control in 07) this year's effort plays more like last year's
"advanced" setting, having the club actually attempt to track you in a 1:1
manner. Along those same lines, swing speed is far more of a factor this
year, as you'll need to master not only how well you time your shots, but how
powerful the snap of your swing can deliver. It's a nice touch, and it makes
Tiger Woods 08 feel like true golf. Check out our video below, titled
"Mastery of the slice."
今年遊戲表現像是去年舊版的升級版:真實球杆的表現、不同揮杆速度，而揮擊力道
也有差異，讓老虎伍茲08更像真實的高爾夫。
Where the game is a bit of a pain in the ass, however, is in its hook/slice
manipulation. Any golfer knows that while beginning players work to eliminate
troublesome hook/slice shots, advanced players use the manipulation of those
shots to their advantage. If a group of trees are off to the right,
accompanying a dogleg to the right far and beyond those trees, you'll need to
aim slightly left, slice hard to the right, and avoid the trees with some
seriously skill-based shots. In Tiger Woods 08 that's still the case, but
managing to get the hook/slice to register consistently can still be a bit
touchy.
但遊戲仍然稍有不理想之處，在於左曲/右曲的打法。真實世界的高爾夫，左曲/右曲
打法是避開密林的好方法，不過在遊戲中這種打法就顯得稍微困難。
In fact, we spent a full hour of our initial playthrough simply hitting
balls, checking out what works within the swing, and what doesn't. The game
wants you to manipulate your shot based on your wrist rotation, particularly
at the beginning of your swing. The best way to do it is center your hand,
twist your wrist as if opening a door, pull the B trigger, and rip your shot,
taking careful notice that your hand continues to be tweaked to either
direction consistently throughout the shot. On the slice (both in left hand
and in right hand golfers) this is an easy task, and we have had literally no
trouble using consistent slice to our advantage on the course.
遊戲中打出左右曲球的方式是取決於玩家手腕旋轉，尤其是下桿一開始的角度。
最佳的的方式是如同開門一般的旋轉手腕，同時按下B鈕，然後揮擊。要小心持續
如此揮杆很可能會扭傷。以右曲球來說相當容易，我們也能在球道上稱心如意的持
續使用右曲球。
In case of the hook, however, it's a totally different story. We've tried
doing drastic arm movements, little tilts, full cranks of the arm, tilts
before hitting B, after hitting B, tilting during only our follow-through,
and just about every other possible way of interpreting the controls, and in
the end it's just harder to pull off. Not impossible, mind you, but harder.
We've gotten hook control down to about 80% effectiveness, but every once in
a while a huge twist of the wrist will do nothing, or (and this is of course
the Wii hardware getting confused by over-twisting) have had the game
interpret it as a slice instead. The bottom line is this: Tiger Woods 08 has
made it simpler to hit straight, and a breeze to manipulate and control slice
shots, but hooks are a real learning experience, and difficult to a fault in
our opinion. We've tried tons of different swing styles, we've changed the
swing difficulty from standard to advanced, and it's still a trying
experience. It's much better, but not perfect.
但左曲球就不容易打出來，無論如何扭轉手臂或改變按B鈕的時機，就是很難打出左
曲球來。並不是不可能，但也極為困難，我們使用80%左右的力道揮擊，但是偶爾就
是不管用，或是打出右曲球來。簡言之:老虎伍茲08簡化了直球的打法，也讓右曲球
容易控制的多，但是學習左曲球就非常困難了。在嘗試過許多揮杆法之後、甚至將
揮擊難度由一般改成進階，左曲球仍然非常困難，揮杆已經大有改善，但是並不完美。
While the swing mechanic is obviously the "make or break" point in these
games, it's also important to note that from what we've played thus far Tiger
Woods is also a hit and miss throughout the rest of the game's offerings. The
issue with grabbing the aiming circle and moving it around with the
Wii-mote's IR is still there, and the graphics have seen literally no update
in our eyes since 07, but there are a few cool new additions to the game as
well.
揮擊機制是遊戲中明顯的重要關鍵，其他部分讓我們感覺到也是有進步與不足之處:
以Wii-mote IR抓取/移動瞄準圈的方式依然存在，而以肉眼觀察，視覺效果並沒有較
07版進步，但是多了一些很酷的新玩意。
Everywhere you look are more modes, more options, and refined general
gameplay. Tiger Woods 08 uses a "confidence" system across all platforms this
year, factoring your character's skill level, difficulty of the shot, and
previous success with a given situation to determine a confidence level. The
better your player's confidence, the better chance he has of nailing any
given shot.
遊戲中充滿了新模式、更多的選項，與更新的遊戲整體表現，老虎伍茲08在全平台的
遊戲中使用了"信心"系統，將你的角色的技巧等級、揮擊障礙等參數化，並以預設
情境下的成功率決定信心等級，角色信心等級越佳，每一杆表現就越好。
Along with the confidence meter is a new "preview putt" system, that
essentially takes the place of the extremely simple to use system that was in
previous games which actually zoomed in, showed your line, and followed the
would-be shot directly to the cup. This makes putting more difficult, but
also more rewarding, and now that putting actually works with the Wii-mote
nicely (still a few oddities, but overall it's a better experience from what
we're seeing thus far) it makes Tiger Woods 08 a better overall greens game.
另外一項是"預覽推杆"系統，取代了前作的推杆系統，這個系統讓推杆更為困難，
但在Wii-mote的偵測上更為更為理想(有時候還是會出差錯，不過目前為止已經很棒
了)，讓老虎伍茲08成為更棒的遊戲。
For a look at "Hooks gone wrong," check out our video. The goal was to hook
this shot to the left, but instead a recovery shot must be made.
(左曲球出錯的影片)
This year you'll actually need to go into a preview mode, line up would-be
shots, and take them, only then seeing the result. To keep players from using
this to a cheesy degree you also have a timer that goes with it. If you act
fast you can still get in about a dozen practice shots, but it's better than
the basically "auto-sink" preview system in the previous games.
(新的球道預覽模式)
We're still pretty early on in Tiger Woods 08, having only briefly checked
out the mini-games and quick play modes, with the full-blown Career Mode and
multiplayer challenges still waiting, but thus far our general consensus is
that Tiger Woods 08 still falls under some of its 07 issues, and is by no
means a perfect golf game. At the same time, a few of the core changes are
for the better, as long as Wii owners understand the very serious disclaimer
that Tiger Woods 08 looks exactly like 07, falls under some of the same traps
as 07, and includes no Wi-Fi support or PS2-supported "ESPN Integration,"
which is a definite downside. Madden, Live, and FIFA all ship with full Wi-Fi
this year, and we're baffled that Tiger Woods is again getting the shaft.
Still, the core game is improved from what we can tell, so hardcore golf
fanatics still may want to keep this one in the "maybe" section of your
wishlist. We'll have a full review for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 as we near the
game's release, but until then be sure to check out our direct-feed video
below.
我們只初嚐了小遊戲與快速模式，而生涯模式與線上模式則尚未嘗試，但我們的
感受是老虎伍茲08仍有一些前作的問題，而且也不是一個完美的高爾夫遊戲，但
是有些核心問題已有改善，玩家們也該了解他與前作看起來完全一樣，而且仍然
沒有Wi-fi或線上模式支援(其他EA今年的遊戲已有支援)。但是我們仍可感受到
遊戲核心已有改進，各位硬派高爾夫愛好者可以把這款遊戲列入"可能購入"的名
單囉。
