Mario Golf

"I don't like Golf games and I really enjoyed this game!"

How many times have you seen a golf game and thought to yourself "I wonder who really likes those kind of games"? For me, I thought that a lot. Then I went to the rental store and saw Mario Golf and I remember some of the good reviews it got so I rented it. I was very suprised.

Graphics 8 out of 10- Somehow the Mario images and characters never get old or outdated. If you have ever played Mario that's what the graphics are like, if you havn't played Mario, get some help.

Sound 8 out of 10- I thought it was neat to hear on multiplayer the other players golfer make fun of a bad shot I made. One liners are nice and the swing of the club all sound like they should.

Gameplay 9 out of 10- This game is very addictive. Trying to get extra coures and golfers is very fun. Placing bets on Multi-player, this game has everything a golf game should have.

Controls 8 out of 10- I found the controls to be very handy. Pushing R lets you see where your ball is going to land and how far, B different swings and so on.

Replayability 10 out of 10- You can play for many hours trying to complete everything and not even get half of them. i think this game will last for a long, long time.

Overall 9 out of 10- Rent or Buy? I think it would be same to buy it. It is very fun and enjoyable and this is coming from a person that doesn't even like golf games.
