Overall: If you're looking for a game that will make you want to throw your controller through the TV, then I highly suggest this game. But, in all seriousness, if you like golf games and a lot of them seem too easy to you, then this just might be worth a look. I'd say rent it, but it's so cheap now for practically a few dollars more you could just buy as opposed to renting it. Gameplay: Why they chose to make this game so difficult, I'll never know. It's to the point of being so ridiculously hard that it fails to be fun and only causes frustration. I am 0% through the tour. It's that difficult. Now, you're probably thinking I just suck at golf game’s and phail at life, well, you're half right. Not to sound conceited, but I kicked Links 2004's ass. I didn't have to retry a single challenge. But, this game of pure frustration, I can't even beat the first challenge.
Even when I just screwed around in Exhibition mode and set the difficulty to easiest I couldn't win. When I first started the round I see that the computer is aiming nowhere near the ball. "Thank God, I might actually have a chance." I think. Oh how wrong I was... I see that the computer aims for the wall and that makes the ball bounce and land right next to the hole. Doing this the normal way would have required 3 shots. And once again, I see the computer has kicked my ass. Now, I ask you, how am I supposed to have a chance against that? I tried to replicate their shot, but since I didn't know how hard they hit the ball or where they aimed it exactly, mine goes flying into the water.
Now the one almost redeeming factor is the mini-games. Which aren't ridiculously difficult and pretty fun. There's the Beat Your Caddy mini-game which just requires you to hit A as the boxing glove nears your caddy's face and my personal favorite, the Golf Cart Challenges. Where you drive through rings and go off ramps and fly through hoops. You can even run over people, which is always a plus in my book.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are kind of a mixed bag. The character's each look very different and they're pretty well animated, a lot of the girl's look and move pretty realistically. But, a lot of the courses are just plain thrown-together looking. Some actually look pretty cool and the graphics are better on some courses than others for some reason, but the spectators don't even look human. It looks like they put about 1 minute of time into creating them.
Sound: The voice acting is actually very good in this game. Nothing sounds over-done, it's just right. Even the background noises like birds and the sound of the waterfall sound great. But the music...oh my dear God, the music. I haven't heard 99.9% of this music before in my life and it's some of the worst I've ever heard. There isn't even a real category of music that they used, they just threw in the worst music from any genre imaginable. Thank God the Xbox has custom soundtracks.
Overall: Well. What can i say. It is a golf game. Good physics. Nice playability. Easy enough to play and have fun. Who would have though that violence could be a part of Golf. Gameplay: A gamplay description of golf.. Let's see. You hit the ball... The fun is that underneath hilarious cut scene and beating up of caddie, the golf game itself is well balance. Graphics: Impovement over Outlaw golf 1. really nice cut scenes. Overall, fun to look at and the golf courses are outrageous. Sound: The announcer are fun for a few hours but after that, you just cut them. It has a few nice tracks of music. S Suggestions: More cut scenes. Thet tend to be repetitive after a while. Overall, i have fun playing it.
