    It has to be the best golf game on the market today.

    If you love golf, you'll love this game, which is based on the "Hot Shots" engine. The course redraw is fairly quick, the courses are well-developed, and the characters are hyper-realistic.

    A fun, detailed and graphically lovely golf game that bodes well for future trips to the links on the PlayStation2.

    A fine mix of arcade hackin’ and halfway-serious golf sim.

    The game is very long. Playing through all 18 holes, the action does drag somewhat and you will have to put aside at least an hour to battle through the one player challenge.

    It might not be as great as "Hot Shots Golf," but it's a phenomenal golf game nonetheless.

    A mess of half-arsed ideas, evil loading times, and a pace that's shockingly sedate.

    Not bad for a golf game. the story mode is cool; you can work your way up into the pro ranks. the putting is nicely done; challenging and not Not bad for a golf game. the story mode is cool; you can work your way up into the pro ranks. the putting is nicely done; challenging and not frustrating (a rare combo of golf games i find). This game would seriously rock with a few changes. some problems: 1)the characters and caddies are repetitive in what they say and do. i personally don"t like animee style characters either, but maybe that"s just me. 2)when the characters swing the game sorta slows down. not a problem as far as gameplay goes, just doesn"t look that nice. 3) the music sux because it"s so repetitive. golf games need a good soundtrack since you spend quite a bit of time watching someone else play. overall though it's one of the best golf games i've played.… Expand
