SCORE: 83

The Frostbite 3 video game engine is quite visible in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour on the Playstation 4, and Xbox One. This home console golfing video game is the changing of the guard for a great many things. EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour goes back to the roots of the franchise in some regards for EA Sports, and surpasses recent years in other regards. The presentation in this video game is top notch.

Graphics pop into place in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. Things spawn out of nowhere. Or they may vanish during a loading screen to go back to the menus. Watching it felt weird at first. By my fifth tournament it felt natural in this next generation sports video game. There are a ton of different animals, and environments in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. I saw foxes, ducks, deer, people, buildings, cars, and more while playing EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour on the Xbox One. Yes you can hit them with a golf ball.

Family Friendly Gaming was provided a retail copy of EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour on the Xbox One before it was released to the public. EA Sports was kind enough to give Family Friendly Gaming more than enough time with this home console video game before the embargo on reviews was reached. There are numerous players and golf courses in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. Plus you can create your own character.

EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is beautiful looking. I can not believe how good things look in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. From the grass to the rough, to the sand, to the water; EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a fine looking game. The sound and commentary make this home console game feel like watching golf. Their negative comments got a little annoying though. I also wish there were more golf courses.

If you play someone really good in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour like Rory McIlroy then expect EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour to be pretty easy to play. You may need to swap over to Classic controls from the Arcade or Tour controls. If you create your own golfer then expect a lot of time and effort to increase the stats. There will also be a lot of early on frustration.

My biggest beef with EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is the putting. It shows a line I need to try and curve it into. It is a guessing game to figure out if I will hit that line right or not. There is no retry a shot if you mess it up. Which makes learning EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour really tough. Also EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour would tell me what power to use, which was worthless when there was a hill. I wish EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour showed me where I am hitting the ball based on the power I would use. I would also like to be able to redo a shot when my fingers slipped. Or after I did everything perfectly according to the game and went into the water anyways.

EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour contains local and online multiplayer modes. The Night Club Challenge is something long time video game golfers will take an interest in. I love the concept of a back story for the Tour Pro Career in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. As well as the different kind of a golfer - based on level. You can tailor a character in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour to your strengths or weaknesses.
