BlackBerry, recognised as the makers of the world's most enticing business mobile phones, have come up again with a masterpiece. This time, it is the BlackBerry Bold, the mobile device with the most expensive looks but also with the most reasonable price. Impressive in every aspect, this incredible mobile phone is a beauty when it comes to the looks. In addition to the most astonishing looks, it also has a very slim body, which makes it decently pocket-friendly. The space conscious mobile widget also comes with remarkable memory space and along with that also comes with an incredible built-in camera of 2.0 mega pixels. Frequent travellers, excursionists will surely find the BlackBerry Bold more lucrative as it also offers the awesome feature of built-in GPS and BlackBerry Maps. So, now travelling to distant unknown places is not a big deal for the mobile users. The connectivity section also boasts of some of the most latest and the best technologies, which makes the dream of enjoying fast speed connectivity of users, come true. Also, the large display screen with QWERTY keyboard and other scintillating features make it more amazing all together. |

On Blackberry, the Tiger Woods, like the man himself, has stagnated for quite some time. Tiger Woods Golf For Blackberry uses a gameplay system that will be familiar to Blackberry golfers. Your primary shot-control mechanism is the classic swing meter, which requires two timed button presses on each swing. It's possible, of course, to adjust your shot trajectory from the default, so you can either play more conservatively or aggressively. You can also switch clubs or shot types (a chip is sometimes more effective than a full stroke). Your in-game caddy will give you advice based on your ball's lie and the obstacles on the current hole.
New to TWG is the ability to earn money by performing specific feats, such as breaking your tee, or simply by golfing well in the single-player mode. Success there will net you yet more cash. Alternately, you can use the cash to upgrade your character or unlock golfing legends to play against, such as the peerless Jack Nicklaus.
The game uses scaled sprites to create the illusion of depth on the course. Every part of a course is viewable, although the environmental features are simplified to the point of being symbols. The game's frame rate is a huge improvement, and on the LG MM-535 we didn't encounter any slowdown. The short game is represented nicely, and it's clear from the moment you hit a shot whether or not it's heading for the pin.
Golf is a relatively quiet sport, and it's therefore not a huge hardship that Tiger Woods doesn't have much to offer in the way of sound. A sort of hip-hop backbeat plays over the title menu. In the game, you'll hear a fairly realistic pop when connecting with the ball, and a small thud when your well-placed shot meets the fairway.
TWG for Blackberry is more than just an incremental game. |
