  1. Simple and intuitive controls mix perfectly with its appealing and approachable cartoony look to perhaps make We Love Golf the best, non-simulation links experience available on the console.

    As anyone who has played a "Mario Golf" title can tell you, developer Camelot knows how to make a great golf game. [Aug 2008, p.88]

    Gets the nod for its accessible controls and online gameplay. It's definitely more about multiplayer though. [Aug 2008, p.91]

    A fun and very pretty arcade golf. Too bad it's way too easy - you win tournaments easily on your first try. Multiplayer matches are naturally tougher. [Aug 2008]

    The simplistic swing mechanic hasn’t changed much, but what is here works flawlessly.

    The best golf on the Wii. Definitely worth playing with several golf-loving mates. [Aug 2008, p.68]

    Camelot have done it again, weaving their unique brand of golfing simplicity on a console where swing confusion rules. It could do with some padding, but this is a great start. [Mar 2008, p.56]

    It's the best golf game on the Wii, but you should wear sunglasses to shield yourself from the primary colours. [Issue #24, p.72]

    The best-made golf game on the system. [Aug 2008, p.106]

    Players who've wrung all they can out of Wii Sports will appreciate We Love Golf if they're not looking for anything too serious. But if you draw the line at pirate-themed golf courses, avert your eyes, matey.
  11. One thing that stands out first and foremost is the music for We Love Golf. The music sounds a bit too simple and happy when you start the game, but it's passable. However, when you get on the green and putt for the first time, the music becomes tense and more focused.
  12. Overall, despite the poor AI in single player, lack of game modes in multiplayer, weak audio and poor graphics, We Love Golf! is more like We Like Golf! and is a major improvement on the golf game within Wii Sports.
  13. 75
    It's enough to keep golfing fans entertained, and it's nice to see Camelot's golf system enhanced with motion controls. But, like I mentioned earlier, players looking for a more true-to-life golf sim on the Wii may want to go with something like Tiger Woods -- or simply just play more of Wii Sports Golf, which comes packed in with the system.
  14. While the swing mechanics might not appeal to everyone, the many game modes and online play trumps previous Wii golf outings.

    Another disappointing game. This is far from realistic golf. The graphics are very "kiddy". I played Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for the PS3Another disappointing game. This is far from realistic golf. The graphics are very "kiddy". I played Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for the PS3 and this was the best golf game out on the market. I would recommend this game for very young children, but other than that, avoid this game. Full Review »

    We Love Golf? Not this aimed at under 5s, chintzy, annoying, cartoons with stupid tunes version of golf we don't. Even the wiimoteWe Love Golf? Not this aimed at under 5s, chintzy, annoying, cartoons with stupid tunes version of golf we don't. Even the wiimote squawks at you with the annoyance of an ill disciplined child. The control is poor, makes wii sports golf look awesome. Proof that some mags sites get paid to give favourable reviews. 80%? They've bumped their heads! Full Review »
