Electronic Arts announced today that Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08, featuring
the breakthrough new EA SPORTS GamerNet and Photo Game Face features,
is available in retail stores across Europe today under the EA SPORTS
brand. With the critically-acclaimed Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise, gamers
can put themselves into the middle of the action, test their nerves and
skills against the best, and then share and compare their shots with other
players from around the world in the most innovative iteration ever created.
With EA SPORTS GamerNet, an interactive gaming hub that hosts user-created
gameplay online, every shot on every hole of a player's game is recorded.
From the opening drive to the final putt in the Playoffs for the FedExCup,
EA SPORTS GamerNet is capturing all the shots that make, or break players
rounds. With an on-line connection, gamers can then upload their most
amazing -- and unthinkable -- performances on EA SPORTS GamerNet and then
earn points and bragging rights by posting video clips for other gamers
to play against and by matching challenges set by others.
With Photo Game Face, players will now be able to replicate themselves
in the game, down to the finest detail. By simply uploading real-life
photographs, players can create in-game characters that look exactly like
the real thing with no artistic skill required, giving gamers the unique
opportunity to go toe to toe with the best golfers on the finest courses
in the world. EA SPORTS GamerNet and Photo Game Face are features exclusive
to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PLAYSTATION3 computer
entertainment system.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08 also features the PGA TOUR new Playoffs for the
FedExCup, offering gamers the thrill of the playoff chase by playing dream
rounds at Westchester Country Club, TPC Boston, Cog Hill and East Lake.
In addition to many of the top PGA TOUR players, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR
08 also features top LPGA golfers, Annika Sorenstam, Natalie Gulbis, Paula
Creamer, Cristie Kerr and Morgan Pressel.
