    The cast of characters is great. The game is fun and not bad to play but the short shots around the green and putting sucks. This can become very frustrating.

    This game is very frustrating, and that is because is a fun game, too. Most elements are quite right and a lot of nice and funny ideas are packed into the game, so you want to play it again and again: the RPG-like leveliing system, the humorous style of the characters and the commentators, the bridges and trees a obstacles in the courses, the cart-driving and beating mini-games.

Most elements are quite right and a lot of nice and funny ideas are packed into the game, so you want to play it again and again: the RPG-like leveliing system, the humorous style of the characters and the commentators, the bridges and trees a obstacles in the courses, the cart-driving and beating mini-games. I really do like how they implemented these things in the game. But there are two rather small design choices, that make playing the game a very frustrating thing to me:
    A. it is very hard, and I hardly ever hit the bar on the right spot - and when I do once, it is likely I didn't hit it straight. Even the "Mr.Chicken"-cheat, which is supposed to make the tour mode easier buy turning the skills of the AI golfer down, doesn't really help, because your AI-partner (which you are obliged to have in the tour mode, in the only way to play the game regular with the chance level up your character and unlock the courses) becomes much worse in golfing that your AI-opponents.
    B. Second the game forces you to watch your opponents and partner how they prepare for the hit. When they hit the ball you can cancel the flight, but you have to watch them how they adjust their club and that takes a lot of time between your hits. So you have to stay a lot of time in front of the game between your own play to watch the opponents, beeing frustrated you didn't hit the ball like you wanted and wanting to do it better. Why do gaming companies do that? Don't they know that a game can be hard but not frustrating, if you don't have to wait for the next chance to try it again when you screwed up? To play one hole, even if yourself just play 2 minutes, you have to watch the others for 4 minutes every hole, meaning the whole tour endures 18x6 minutes without the possibility to save the game in between.
    I really would like to play again, but I protect myself from that frustration by not playing. Maybe, if you have better reflexes than I have, you might like it, because all together, it is not a bad game.    … Expand

    The humor is certainly there, but Hypnotix really needs to get the polish onto this simulation before people will revere its hilarity. [Oct 2004, p.125]

    If the humor was more a part of the game than just something that's laughed at once or twice and hurried past, then this would have been an improved installment. As it is, there are still many pacing problems such as the 20-40 second waits for times to just play the game.

    It's harmless fun that loses its luster all too soon. Do I even have to mention "rental?"
