If you are unsure whether the next edition of the Tiger Woods golf franchise is for you, you will be able to try before you buy when the demo lands on 8 March on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Along with being able to “live that epic moment” in trying to win the fabled Green Jacket, the demo will have a host of other features and bonuses that will be unlocked on the full retail release.
In the “Play Now” setting, gamers will have their first opportunity to play Augusta National’s par-4 18th.
See the distinct Masters experience and hear the all-familiar voice of long-time Masters announcer Jim Nantz throughout the demo. Nantz sets the stage as Tiger Woods charges up the leaderboard in chase of his fifth Green Jacket. Take control of Tiger Woods on the final hole and attempt to be crowned Masters champion, while the all-new commentary team of Nantz, and the always entertaining David Feherty, call the action – so says the Press Release.
In “Road to the Masters” mode, play holes 1-5 at TPC San Antonio Oaks Course – an all-new course to the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise. In addition, once you complete the five holes gamers will be granted the ability in the full retail version to bypass the EA SPORTS Amateur Tour and proceed straight to the Nationwide Tour in your career.
The PlayStation 3 version of the demo will support the PlayStation Move controller to fully replicate an authentic golf swing. Looking for an even more immersive golf interaction? The demo can also be played in True View mode – a first person vantage point. Additional information about the Masters Tournament, the all-new career mode, Caddie/Course Mastery, new golfers and courses, and a host of other new features are detailed in the demo. Share the demo with friends to earn additional XP.
The Masters edition will go on sale in North America on March 29 and worldwide on April 1, available on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, with support of the PlayStation Move controller.
