Tiger Woods demo tees off on Xbox 360

While the Tiger Woods series made its debut on the Xbox 360 last year, the game was criticized for a lack of the bells and whistles that are common in the series' current-gen installments. As a result, Electronic Arts has added some of those into Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, and golf-loving gamers can get a taste of them in a new demo of the game, now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Originally expected last month, the 916.5MB demo features four holes from the game: the first hole at Princeville, the fifth at Bandon Dunes, the 16th at Firestone Country Club, and the 18th at St. Andrews. Players who download the demo will be able to tee off as Tiger Woods himself, because he is the trial version's only playable character. The demo also contains a tutorial video demonstrating the game's new "true aiming" system.

The full version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 for the Xbox 360 is expected in stores next week. The game is rated E for Everyone and will retail for $59.99.
