Hot Shots Golf

"Best golfing game ever?"

How would you like to play a really good golf game that is only available on playstation? It's hard to find such games as there aren't many around. Plus, it's can be played by up to four players! Well, how about trying hot shots golf? It's a very good golfing game for playstation. You start the game with only two golfers to choose from and one golf course. To get more golfers, you must first defeat them. You also get new golf courses for defeating them. There are many modes of play in this game. You can either play normal mode, which has two ways to play it. You can also play the practice mode where you can practice your shots at the golf driving range. Also, you can play mini golf in the mini golf mode. Mini golf mainly lets you practice your putting which is good when you have to do a good put to win a hole in the normal mode. Firstly, let me review the graphics. There are many bright colours used in this game which makes it stand out. Also, the cast of the game look very real and you can actually see their features, not just a blank face. The terrain in the game is also very realistic. You can see highly detailed trees, lakes, bunkers, fairways etc. If you win a hole, your character will kind of do a victory pose. If you lose a hole, then your character will do a lose pose. You can even make them throw grass. This definitely gets a ten. Next comes the music and sound fx. When you are playing the game and get a perfect shot, a voice will suddenly say nice shot. If you take a shot and the ball lands on the green, a voice will say nice on. Isn't that good, the computer actually encourages you. You can also hear people clapping, booing etc. All this can also be done when you play a two player game. When it's not your turn, try pressing a button on your controller and see what happens. You can also hear nice clean sounds of the club hitting a ball. Music in the game is also good. The music is relaxing so that it counters the tension when playing the game. The music and sound fx gets a ten! It's that good! Next, the gameplay. Will you be addicted to this one of a kind golf game? Well, the answer is yes! So far, it's the best golf game i've ever played. With the good graphics, plus music and sound fx, what can go wrong? It's a work of art. It keeps you on the edge of your seat with computers that are as good as you. Winning a match also depends on your skill and luck. Gameplay also gets a ten. So overall, this wonderful game gets a ten! Extremely go! I highly recommend this game.
