    The game is entertaining, but I feel like something is just not complete here. The controls, while straight forward are not always consistent. The putting is attrocious and its just simply a crap shoot on whether you make it in the hole vs using skills and calculating wind, slope, etc.

    Graphically, its definitely not "next gen" but its solid over all.
    Its not too bad by any means, but the complete package just isn't there. The putting system is definitely its weakest link along with the inconsistent power/accuracy bar and needing to rely too much on power ups instead of the player fine tuning their skills..Unfortunately there is no trial version so its a complete gamble of $20 if this is something you want to give a shot.    … Expand

    I just get the feeling Zoe Mode slapped together this terrible golf game to cash in on all the EA Tiger Woods' fans still waiting for a decent golf game to be released on the XBox One. This game is soooo ten years ago.... in fact, I'd prefer to play EA Tiger Woods 2004 on the original XBox. Better yet, I would rather play Craig Stadler's Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Sega Saturn (now thatI just get the feeling Zoe Mode slapped together this terrible golf game to cash in on all the EA Tiger Woods' fans still waiting for a decent golf game to be released on the XBox One. This game is soooo ten years ago.... in fact, I'd prefer to play EA Tiger Woods 2004 on the original XBox. Better yet, I would rather play Craig Stadler's Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Sega Saturn (now that was a revolutionary golf game!) and that was made in '95! It's just a step backwards from any other golf game released in the last... well... long time. I'm disappointed with the lack of evolution here. If you're an EA Tiger Woods fan, do not buy this game - plain and simple. You'll save yourself some money, but more importantly, you'll avoid feelings of disappointment, anger and disgust.… Expand

    For this game to be 13th best xbox game of 2013 its easy to understand that not many good games came out in 2013. I guess its alright if you want to pay to unlock extra courses but for me it was a waste of time.

    Anyone looking for a more substantial or skill-based party game will be better served elsewhere. [Issue#143, p.107]

    PowerStar Golf doesn’t reinvent the golf-game wheel, but it’s a pleasant, laid-back diversion with a fun design sense and great camera controls that outweigh its relatively inoffensive microtransaction system.
