    extremely high replay value, is truely a classic, patiently waiting for a sequal with different course styles. reminds me of mario golf for the nes with better grapics. only complaint is that you don't know the wind speed per hole til after tee off.

    I'm not much of a golf fan but this looked good so i thought i'd take a risk and try it. Well it's very good! The graphics are excellent, the gameplay is spot on. You can see the course from just about any angle when you're trying to line up a shot. The ball flight is realistic and (unlike tiger woods) it's doesn't make hard shots easy with 'luck'.

The only problem i could see with this game is that initially you only get 1 course and using the challenge mode you can unlock the other five. BUT this isn't quick !! And if you're like me it could take you a good few days to do it. (i only play for 10-20 mins a day . I estimate it took about 3 to 4 hours of play to unlock the second course. However if you can put up with this negative i recommend this game. It's knocked wipeout out of my PSP and that's no small achievement!!… Expand

    superb game only let down by not including a multipayer mode that lets you play using only 1 psp. PS2 version had you passing the control pad between players. either way, so much fun, and so addictive.

    The game has excellent graphics and is addictive at first. However I would question the replay value. Once I have uncovered all the golf courses, I am finding it very hard to find a good reason to complete the game entirely just to pick clothes and accessory items. Tiger Woods career seems more plausible.

    Fun golf game, funny but the repetive voice overs are annoying.

    This version of Hot Shots Golf is a fun and Charismatic game, though at times it can be a little too difficult for a portable golfing game.

    My favorite PSP game so far, even before Lumines and Ridge Racer. It makes international flights enjoyable, I can attest to that. You will not regret that purchase.

    Proves that comic book golf games can provide lighthearted simulation without sacrificing any vital gameplay technicalities. The PSP has teed off in style with this one. [JPN Import]

    It demands skill without being overly realistic and is challenging without being overly frustrating – an ideal combination that forms the backbone of an incredibly enjoyable game. [JPN Import; Feb 2005, p.116]
