    A very fast arcade-style game that is positively overflowing with character.

    Not only is it very realistic in it’s approach to the game, it is, hands down, the most fun and funniest golf game I have played.

    The most innovative and clever thing to come to golf video games in a long while is Outlaw Golf's Composure Meter.
  5. Electric Playground

    The major factor holding Outlaw Golf from being a top tier golf game is its unforgiving control system.

    Sure, most of the game is from left field, but there’s actually enough realistic action to satisfy golf cart owners.

    Imagine if "Hot Shots Golf" had been developed by Larry Flynt Publications, and you might have an idea of the humor and content included in this otherwise sharp-yet-strangely-normal golf game. [August 2002, p.81]

    Although Outlaw Golf isn't on the same level as "Hot Shots 3," It's about 10 times as funny. [July 2002, p.87]

    Outlaw Golf is a golf game that relies too heavily on gimmicks and forgets about simple things that should be standard in a golf game (simulation or arcade) like the lie affecting the ball.
  10. XenGamers

    Outlaw Golf's attitude lies solely in presentation, and while some may initially be turned off by the title's seemingly juvenile humor, the game's personality quickly grows on the player.

    The golf is too difficult for a party game style title. the graphics aren't very great either. but i like the concept quite a bit.

    Game play is great - and quite realistic (can be just as frustrating as the real thing!) Swing control is well done and can cause a hook or Game play is great - and quite realistic (can be just as frustrating as the real thing!) Swing control is well done and can cause a hook or slice. Unlocking can get a little tedious because after you unlock a good set of clubs, you only have them for the one character you accomplished it with. Everyone ends up being the same character in a multiplayer game for that reason. "White trash" talk can get a extremely repetative, but it can be humorous. Certainly fun to work towards mastering the game. As far as a golf game goes, I would recommend it to most people. The game gets better as you improve your clubs, your control, your accuracy, etc. Forget worrying about composure because you can always beat up your caddy to improve that. I've got LOTS of hours tied up in this game because it's not as serious as other golf games and it's relatively easy to start for the beginner (I actually like it better than Tiger Woods golf because of its relaxed atmosphere). If you don't like the real game of golf, this game is definitely for you! … Full Review »

    Not a bad game, plays very well similar to real golf. Tour play is a must so you can improve your skills. Not worth $50 but a good buy used.
