Let's Golf vs. Tiger Woods???

[Nate5911]

I already have Let's Golf and its a great game. Is it worth getting Tiger woods too? I will be putting a poll on this.

Good idea. I have neither and I can't decide which one to get:confused: Idk I'll probably end up getting both over the weekend. I'm kind of surprised nobody has made a poll for this yet...

[FilthyCanadian]

Figured this thread was coming.. Let's golf is nothing special, I have no idea about Tiger, but the videos look really good.

[gscal]

Tiger Woods is the best golf simulator. Let's Golf is more arcade-style. IMO, Tiger Woods is the victor.

[pante]

my vote went to tiger woods. cause it's more like a real golf, it has more depth, graphics are very nice, sounds (commentators!!!) great. but if you like funny graphics and easy controls... then there is let's golf. i like them both but Tiger Woods is what i waited for - a true Golf Game for iPhone/iPod Touch.

[HardcoreEricXXX]

I don't think I've ever played a bad tiger woods game.

What makes tiger so deep?

[Stykman]

Lets golf by far is the best

[ringring]

if you want a golf game, get tiger. if you want a fun game, get lg. it's that simple!

[pante]

What makes tiger so deep?

filthy i sad "more depth" not "so deep", and i compared pga tour to let's golf. ;) realistic players, different shots.

[MaNNioN]

Tiger woods is SOOOO much better

[Acidbottle]

if you want a golf game, get tiger. if you want a fun game, get lg. it's that simple!

tiger woods is fun! way more fun than lets golf :D far more things to do, more courses, better audio, better control system and way more customization. its boils down to whether you can afford tiger or not really. the more i play tiger the more i like it :cool:

[Almy]

They really aren't something to compare. One is a sim and is an arcade. So get tiger if you want a sim and get LG if you want an arcade.

[coconutbowling]

My vote goes to Lets golf, but that's just my style. I prefer the cartoony fun game vs the dull (but still good) simulator.

[Lovelyman]

One is more realistic. The other is more unrealistic/fun. Get Lets Golf if you aren't really a golfer but want a fun game. If you want an accurate/realistic/boring golf game, get Tiger Woods.

[don_k]

Tiger Woods is newer so I'm sure everyone will vote for TW, saying more realistic, more content, etc.
If Let's Golf is newer then everyone will vote for LG, saying cuter visuals, great console-like presentation, etc :p

[FilthyCanadian]

One is more realistic. The other is more unrealistic/fun. Get Lets Golf if you aren't really a golfer but want a fun game. If you want an accurate/realistic/boring golf game, get Tiger Woods.

PLEASE play the games before you give input.

I OWN Let's golf

not really. i said i like them both, but i play tiger woods from the moment i bought it, and i left let's golf after 20 minutes ;)

[gscal]

I OWN Let's golf

But do you own Tiger Woods? If you don't own both, you can't make a fair input.

[pante]

I OWN Let's golf

but do you own tiger woods? look lovelyman, it's not that every people here doesn't like you. you just have to decide what to post more carefully that's all.

all the best ;)

That's an unfair decision then. You can't say how good a game is until you've played it.

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said boring. But other than that I pretty much said

Let's Golf: Fun/Less Realistic
Tiger Woods: More realistic/accurate

[iFonePhanatic]

How can you base what you post on here off "screenshots and video?" Anybody could do that. We're looking for people to post who have played both and have real input. You don't have to post on every thread, because post count doesn't matter.

Dude seriously, you don't have to make 85 posts per day

Still, you can't say that without having played it. You can stand behind other people's reviews and impressions, but you can't say anything until you've bought it and played it.

[Lovelyman]

FINE! I take it back. I take it back. But I still reccomend Let's Golf, which I have

[gscal]

Thank you. :D Now, can we get back on topic and compare Tiger Woods and Let's Golf again?

[blk04a4]

my biggest question, is there career mode? if so how good is it? i want something i can play in quick spurts!

[FilthyCanadian]

FINE! I take it back. I take it back. But I still reccomend Let's Golf, which I have

I chooozzzee lets golf!

Fine, I take it back,

But I still choose lets golf!

[andrmgic]

Does tiger woods have wifi multiplayer?

That is my favorite part of Let's Golf..

If Tiger Woods were to add that feature, I'd consider it.

Playing with friends always makes a sports game (arcade or otherwise) more enjoyable.

[dancom96]

Let's Golf gives you a much more 'fun, arcadey' feel to it.

Tiger Woods on the other hands, seems more serious.

I honestly don't like any 'serious' games, so I prefer Let's Golf.

[gscal]

We don't hate you for a random reason, we hate you because you contribute nothing anywhere.

+1 You're not offtopic, as you seem to think, and we don't hate you, as you also seem to think, you just make completely unnecessary posts/threads. STOP.

[joe830]

This is my question also...

I agree 100% with this.

Also, thanks Admin who added the videos of each one. I forgot about that.

Also for correcting my pole* mistake haha

Lol somebody has asked this before, so can someone please answer his question? I have neither, and I would also like to know.

+2 to both Filthy and gscal (can I do that?). They pretty much covered our problem with you and your type.

You can do that. :D Thanks for backing us up.

Haha yea you can do that and can I be a +3? Haha jk we do need to get back on topic.

[blk04a4]

lol the only thing holding me back is info about a career mode

[iFonePhanatic]

Someone who owns TW '09 PLEASE answer his question!
But I'm guessing it doesn't because they didn't include that on their iTunes page.

[icepulse]

I have both, and in the past, I've gone in for Mario and Hot Shots over Tiger, but in this case, EA has really outdone itself.

I was 1 yard from the green and about 9 yards from the pin (in TW). Instead of the recommended pitching wedge, I hit shy with a 6 iron. The announcer cried "the bump and run!" as my ball hopped onto the green, 4 yards from the pin, and rolled the last 4 yards, right up to the lip of the cup. It's exactly how I played it. If that's not fun, I don't know what is! What satisfaction. "Lets Golf!" may look amazing, but it would NOT allow me to use that 6 iron in the same situation.

More control = more skill payoff = more fun, in my book.

[worldcup1100]

Someone who owns TW '09 PLEASE answer his question!

Have you guys posted on the thread dedicated to Tiger Woods???
I bet you would find an answer there or get one there shortly.

[deckard]

I think GL Golf should be in the poll. The graphics are craptastic (maybe slightly less craptastic after a few improvements in the last update) but the gameplay is very, very good.

[AchillesReborn]

Why is it that this thread has so many pointless posts made by a few posters complaining about another guy making pointless posts? Are they really unaware of their own complete lack of contribution? (And they seem to be doing this not just in this thread, but in many others).

Anyway, Tiger Woods seems to have more depth, especially when it comes to putting. Let's golf is fun, and looks nice, but it plays like an arcade game rather than a simulation. Tiger woods seems to be more focused on providing a realistic experience, although for some people this may be less fun. Depends how casual you want your golf gaming to be.
Oh, and Tiger Woods does have a career mode.

[Spartan12103]

I guess they're different enough it's justifiable to get both. Let's Golf for a more arcade style game aka Mario Golf, and Tiger Woods for a more realistca game, aka.... Tiger Woods.

[dancom96]

Have you played both games?

Cuz if you haven't, and they don't flame you, I know that they just hate me for no random reason. I posted practically the same thing after researching tiger woods and playing lets golf extensivelly, and they all flamed me.
Yeah I have played both games.

Tiger Woods is just too real and not as fun to me.

Yea we did but it just gets buried or goes unanswered

Edit: Never mind it was answered a couple posts ago.

They are probably ignoring you because you keep blindly asking questions that have already been answered several times. If you took 2 minutes to look through the main thread, you will see several people discussing the career mode. And your question has been answered in this thread as well (EDIT: as it seems you've now noticed).

[GatorDeb]

I have both.

Let's Golf! - Picked up the controls right away and had a blast with it. Don't play it any more due to so many games that come out daily but I spent a couple of hours with it, more than with a bunch of other titles. This thread is making me want to play it some more.

Tiger Woods - I hate the controls so far. I'm going to have to spend some time with it. You have to account for everything (wind, distance, slope, etc.)

LG is casual, has easy controls, and is arcade-y. Tiger Woods is about realism and controlling every aspect of the course and is a true sim.

So far my vote goes to LG.

[Justom]

If you want a more realistic style of golf, get Tiger Woods. Let's Golf is more of an arcade-styled game with ambient graphics and a energy-filled soundtrack, while Tiger Woods has more of a "dull" look at times. Tiger Wood's soundtrack is mostly just two commentators giving play-by-play analysis with the occasional environmental sounds. One thing that truly separates Tiger Woods from Let's Golf is its swing mechanic which truly utilizes the touch screen in an intuitive way. Now you will know why you got a nice hit or miss, unlike Let's Golf "generic" swing mechanic.

[Swordplay]

I like lets golf better, but tiger woods is just as fun with a better season mode. I just like lets golfs cartoony graphics.

[CDubby94]

Let's Golf was an appetizer for the entrée of Tiger Woods for me.

Tiger is just Tiger. It's a popular franchise made by a popular company that incorporates real golf physics into their games.

Was this game crappy compared to the consoles? Absolutely. Is it the best mobile golf game available right now? Absolutely.

One more thing, change "Sand" to "Bunker". Honestly.

[mrbass]

Since we are not allowed to comment until trying both I had to try Tiger Golf to be sure. Let's Golf is my favorite by a mile. Having said that I still think xbox Tiger Woods blows them both outta the park but then again we are talking about the iphone. So yea my vote goes to Let's Golf for nailing it right the first time and holding it's own against a $4 more expensive game.

[jchampl]

I'm have a LOT of fun with this game, it takes awhile to get used to the putting but once you do, it's a blast. To this point I've only played TPC Boston, and my back 9 was great. The powerboost is very helpful as well, I'm glad they put that in there, and executed it well too. Overall a great golf sim, there is room for both this and let's golf on my iphone.

[h1976]

After trying it out on my buddys iPhone... I dont think the controls and gameplay of Tiger has any "simulation" feel to it. I dont blame the devs, its the limitation of the iPhone hardware, I cannot imagine a better control scheme in the iPhone.

So to me it feels just like any other arcade golf game, in which Lets Golf has an edge with half the price, fun gameplay and replay value.

[mlkaufman]

I am going to have to give the nod to tiger Woods, because while they are both fun, TW lets you listen to your own music while playing. In fact, you can listen to your own music and still get the sound effects and commentary if you want them.

There is just no way I can play a full 18 holes of golf on LG with nothing to listen to. LG will not even let you turn your music back on after the game starts. If they were to fix this deficiency, I would have a harder time picking between them.

I bought TW a little while ago. And I must say that I am entirely impressed. Here are a few bullet points:


Graphics are NOICE! I even find the low poly trees endearing! The player models are top notch for a phone. Almost PSP quality.
Runs very smooth, in comparison to the lag fest that is Lets Golf!
The controls are fantastic. Putting backspin is such a breeze now.
The ambient sounds are very, very good! And... I can play my own damn music.
TONS of modes!
Fantastic front end!
Worth the 10 bones!


So, overall, I may go back to Lets Golf every now and then. Now I realize why I didn't play very often. On iPhone, at least, the game lags to hell and back. But Gameloft never patches their games. Too bad.

Tiger Woods- 9
Lets Golf- 7

[Nate5911]

Oh wow, Let's Golf made a comeback, I think it was down 10 at one point.

[wildmatt]

That's because people here are insane! How is Tiger Woods winning? No unlockables, gay stat editing, iron's make a ping noise, it's ridiculously easy, there's only 3 characters.... I could go on, I'll give it up to Tiger for having 7 courses and a 4 player mode though. The control scheme also very nice, I wouldn't say revolutionary though, it's just like an analog stick but you draw instead.

Let's Golf is by far the best between the 2, a little less modes but the graphics far superior, the sound far superior, iron's sound like irons, there's stuff to unlock, it can be hard.

That and Tiger Woods costs more, so I think it's a no contest personally.

[wildmatt]

If you want a more realistic style of golf, get Tiger Woods. Let's Golf is more of an arcade-styled game with ambient graphics and a energy-filled soundtrack, while Tiger Woods has more of a "dull" look at times. Tiger Wood's soundtrack is mostly just two commentators giving play-by-play analysis with the occasional environmental sounds. One thing that truly separates Tiger Woods from Let's Golf is its swing mechanic which truly utilizes the touch screen in an intuitive way. Now you will know why you got a nice hit or miss, unlike Let's Golf "generic" swing mechanic.

That sir is a dumb thing to say. You don't know why you miss shots in Let's Golf? That's weird because I've been using the exactly same 3 button press meter since the start, and it's easy to know why you screws up.

Tell me seriously, which one do you think you have more of a chance screwing up on? Tiger Woods' meter takes forever to go blue, it's too easy getting a 100% shot with 100% boost. Atleast in LG it's not a guarantee you're going full power EVERY shot you can.

[TideTime]

I just find myself having more fun with Let's Golf.

[dashzed]

my vote went to Lets Golf for the pretty and shiny graphics :)

plus it's really fun.
