Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Reviews
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour falls far short of its predecessors
Rory has solid gameplay and covers the basic feature bases, but it doesn't distinguish itself
The gameplay basics are fine, but this is the absolute bare bones of what a golf game should be – with less than half the amount of content of the last game in the series.
Despite smooth gameplay and fancy visuals, this game is handicapped by a distinct lack of courses and players, leaving it feeling incomplete and rather bland.
The assumption seems to be that most players won't have the desire or the stamina to play a full round - though in light of the limited number of courses, it may simply be a way to minimise repetition. Either way, EA Tiburon has produced a game hardly befitting a player of McIlroy's talents. The so-called "next generation of golf" looks uncomfortably similar to the last, and there's substantially less of it. Only the quality of the underlying game saves this from the ignominy of an Avoid sticker.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a disappointing golf game that just barely manages to make the cut.
