"FOOORE! + 1 Stars for Mario Golf!"

This game is awesome! Beautiful graphics, lots of characters, and I'm sure there's plenty of courses (I just got it, so I don't know how many there are =P). You can link up with Mario Golf: Advance Tour to get more secret characters, too. They're kinda like Plum, Harry, and the other general people golfers from the N64 version from the looks of it, y'know, those kinds of characters. Anyway, it's awesome.

Graphics: 10/10 Sure you can't see every stitch in Mario and Luigi's overalls, or everyone of Bowser's scales, but who cares? It's still beautiful. In short, it's very good.

Sound: 9/10 It's good too. Not anything you can really hum to, like in the other Mario games, but that's not really important either.

Character Variety: 10/10 Nice selection. There are 12 characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, DK, Diddy, Wario, Waluigi, Birdo, and Bowser.
There are also at least 4 secret characters.

New Stuff: 10/10 First off, the characters, second of and above all, the Warp Pipes: If your ball lands in one, it pops out of the other pipe of the same color, Chain Chomps: If your ball lands in an area with a Chomp, the Chomp will chase it around and it will count as an O.B. shot, and Fast Fairways: If your ball lands on one of these fairways, it will roll along a lot farther than on a regular fairway. Unfortunately, there's no more Mini Golf T_T Oh well, we'll live.

Replay Value: 9/10 Reasons: 1.Secret Stuff 2.The Fact That it's a Sports Game No reason to get board of it really fast.

Fun: 10/10 Oh yeah is it fun! I haven't gotten to try multiplayer yet, but the good news is that you can actually hear the other players taunts now =) It's frustrating sometimes, but a good challenge is always a great thing to have. Hey, I bought it on the spot, didn't I? And I don't regret it =)

Flaws: 0-1/10(that's good in this case) Hmm, can't find any. Looks good to me ^_^

Length: 9/10: I only give it a nine because I don't know how long it goes, but I'm sure it's not forever, lol. Anyway, it isn't as exciting as something like Luigi's Mansion or Sunshine, but it's not as friggin' short at least, lol!

Well, to sum it all up, I think it's a great, impeccable game. Now for the final thing:

Rent/Buy: Definitely buy, especially if you played and enjoyed the N64 Mario Golf. But if you hate it, don't bother. But, that's pretty much the philosophy for everything ^_^ If you don't like it, don't buy it. Like the X-Box for example, lmao!
