PS3 Reviews: Cross-platform Launch Games
Published December 11, 2006
The SIXAXIS controls are a nice addition, but this is about the only addition you get over the Xbox 360 version of the game. You will see some more realistic motion from players, some animations were obviously recaptured for this release.
At least this is better than the Xbox 360's first version of Madden, PS3 owners can take solace in that fact.
Besides the control and animation changes, you are looking at a basic next-gen port. If you have PS2 Madden, you will be getting a solid game with slick graphics, but you may be hunting for some modes here and there.
Still, you get online and offline play, Superstar and Franchise modes, combine-like mini-games, small refinements and more, which should be enough to keep you until Madden 08.
Madden NFL 07 is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB. This game can also be found on: GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 — Just like with Madden, PS3 owners get to skip the bad memories of EA Sports next-gen 2006 effort.
Instead they get a solid first outing for Tiger on their shiny new PlayStation.
If you are not experiencing Tiger 07 in HD, however, you are not getting the experience you should. This same issue plagued the Xbox 360 version, too.
Tiger 07 on the PS3 is an entirely different game than Tiger 07 on the PS2. Again, Xbox 360 owners are not missing out, as you have likely played this same game to death by now.
The cluttered HUD from the current-gen versions is replaced by a well-designed overlay at the bottom left of the screen. This new presentation is great.
The controls have improved as well. The Loft Stick is a nice improvement over last year's game.
True Aiming is about the best game play change Tiger Woods has seen in years. Even with a maxed out created player, or Woods himself, there is always a chance your ball will not land where you intended. Kudos to EA for True Aiming; it rocks.
But in every other aspect of the game, you may be asking yourself "where did that go?" There are only 12 courses, you may be used to 21 on the PS2 version.
Tiger 07 looks great though, and even sports better, fuller trees than the Xbox 360 version, where they looked a little flat. A small detail, sure, but it is immediately noticeable.
The ESPN integration is great, and online play is wonderful. The new One Ball mode is the highlight of multiplayer.
Sans the lack of courses, this is a great version of Tiger to pick up with your PS3.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Mild Violence. This game can also be found on: PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Mobile Phone.

If the images on one console look washed out compared to the other try adjusting the brigntness/contrast or turn on super white mode - it's likely the difference is the Display settings. Also crispness of textures ? usually means the console is not smoothing the textures properly.
Like the idea of the comparisons , good use of motion wins me over to the PS3 every time though.
What happened to blazing angles review ?
And Can you do Lego starwars saga next ?
Can you can provide framerates in different modes on each console for the games too ?
