EA Sports Announces Tiger Woods Driving Game
Looking to cash in on the endless interest in his epic 50 car pile-up, EA Sports announced today it is developing a new Tiger Woods driving simulator for the Nintendo Wii.
Most details on the game are still under wraps, but EA says players will commandeer their very own virtual SUV and be tasked with avoiding such road hazards as landscaping and golf club wielding wives. The limited size of Tiger Woods’ driveway would otherwise hinder the length of the main storyline, so EA plans to add a series of zany mini-games to flesh out the fun.
In one such mini-game, players will use the motion sensors of the Wii remote to pen a half-assed news release about their mishap. They can also take on the role of Tiger’s insanely hot wife and smash out not one, but two windows of the SUV for no reason other than to rescue her husband leaving home in the middle of the night on Thanksgiving.
Obviously, the next challenge for EA will be releasing the game before the next overblown media sensation captivates the nation’s attention. EA says it is already halfway finished with the game, building on its cancelled Lindsay Lohan Kart Racing project.
