Masters Moments is a series of nine challenges where you step into the shoes of pros from tourneys past and try to come close to their achievements.
Neither is wildly innovative, but each serves to further place the tournament at the heart of the game and offer tough diversions from single matches and developing a pro career. Along with being able to play Augusta National in one-off rounds, you visit its hallowed links in two other modes. There are other Masters-related frills, too. Just as the Madden games wrap with a Super Bowl every season and NHL hockey games close with the Stanley Cup final, now you have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. As a result, career play is more focused, with a concrete goal behind all of your efforts. And, most importantly, the career mode has been renamed Road to the Masters, with the focus switched from simply progressing from the amateur ranks to the PGA Tour, to doing all of the above plus earning an invitation to this prestigious tournament. The game opens with a playable intro that walks you through the final shots of Tiger Woods winning a green jacket. The menu screens are loaded with photos of Augusta National. The opening cinematic is all about the Masters. This isn't so much a Tiger and PGA game as it is a Masters game, since golf's biggest star and its biggest professional organization take a backseat to the annual tournament hosted by Augusta National Golf Club. What you notice when firing up Tiger Woods 12 for the first time is how much the game has been reskinned to take advantage of its Masters theme. Set to tee off thanks to mostly great caddie advice on your shots.
The new game also refashions everything around trying to earn an illustrious green jacket at the famous Masters tournament, which lends the proceedings a gravitas that golf fans can't help but appreciate. This year's sequel builds on the outstanding Wii remote controls from the last two years, which show the MotionPlus attachment at its best, making for lifelike drives for show and putts for dough. Even though the series embraces the Move motion controller in its PlayStation 3 edition this year, superior controls in the Wii version of the game still make it the best way to play video game golf. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters remains the top golf sim for virtual swingers.
