Hot Shots Golf Sans Everything That Made It Hot Shots Golf December 26, 2008
SnS (Crossville, TN)
I have been REALLY playing this franchise since HSG3. I love the mechanics and overall gameplay that spawned from this game and I have never regretted owning a single one. That being said........
WHERE is the HSG I knew and loved? This game plays like HSG. It looks like HSG. But it's NOT the HSG from before. In many regards this is a good thing. Sharper graphics that appear a tad less cartoony (although still firmly rooted in the anime style), the new advanced shot mode that really delivers the goods once you adjust to it, and all the clubs, balls, and customization one would come to expect from the HSG franchise.
However, they leave you with a feeling of a very basic game that was released before it's due. HSG Fore feels like a better game in a lot of ways. It made me laugh, even when I was ready to fling my controller out the window because of a crappy shot. It felt deep. It was a pretty game with serious golfing engine attached with some wit and humor thrown in. And lest we not forget a LOT of various game modes, including mini-golf, which helped break up the mediocrity and the ability to have everyone unlocked before you even TOUCHED a tournament. Sure this game a gorgeous and still a very solid golf game with an above average online mode, but the characters I grew attached to have been yanked, the humor all but gone (there's not a single caddy I can say so far that I am all that fond of), and the amount of single player and same console multiplayer modes feel like a ghost town.
As you can tell from my overall opinion of this game, I don't hate it. I don't even REALLY feel like I wasted my money. God knows it couldn't be further from the truth. I really do like this game. But I don't LOVE it. My only hope is that enough people feel the same as I do and Clap Hanz and SCEA realize that while they took several steps in the RIGHT direction on one path, they shouldn't neglect the other path altogether. A great golfing engine is only half of it and honestly, in this market, isn't enough to be a stand out title. Bring back what made HSG stand out as a golf game..... light-heartedness, humor, depth, and a wide array of golfers to choose from.
And in a PS...... I am having a really hard time getting my purchased add-ons to show up. This could be nothing more than a PBCAK error (Problem Between Chair and Keyboard for the uninitiated), but there seems to be little out there to help me find help. If I have to unlock them fine, but they should tell you that when you download them.
Hot Shots is still Fun and Challenging December 14, 2008
slypig (Portland, Oregon)
If you have played hot shots golf games before, this one is just as fun. The graphics are better and more detailed.
You earn better golfers as your score gets better. My fiance plays it for a few hours every sitting and enjoys it. I have never played golf in real life before so this game taught me what under par means and why different drivers are used. So it was even educational.
Muy entretenido y gracioso December 12, 2008
Olmedo Ferreira
Es un juego muy divertido. Lo jugue mucho en PS2 y le verdad que no es muy diferente. Inclusive, Hot Shots Golf para PS2 tiene una opcion donde se puede jugar hoyos par 3 con topografia y dificultades especiales, tambien otra opcion donde solo se juegan con puros Putts evadiendo obstaculos y enfrentando tambien variaciones topograficas. Me divertia mas con la version para PS2.
En esta tenemos jugadores diferentes y mas chistosos. Las graficas son, logicamente, mejores, pero para el que ha jugado Hot Shots Golf en PS2 no apreciara en este juego el mismo cambio que experimento con el paso de la consola PS2 a PS3.
No se trata de hacer una comparacion entre las dos versiones de Hot Shots Golf, pero creo que podria servir de ayuda para el que lo ha jugado en PS2.
En fin, este juego en si es excelente, disfruto mucho y paso mucho tiempo jugandolo. Le di 4 estrellas simplemente porque no supero mis expectativas despues de haberlo jugado y disfrutado tanto en PS2. Para el que no lo jugo antes y compra este no se arrepentira nunca! :)
 For a golf game it's fun to play December 1, 2008
CMPunkGTS (in 1 of the states)
I bought this based on IGN review and also when it was a great price. This game is not worth 60 bucks more like 20 bucks.
Now on to the game, the characters are fun and easy to use. Characters such as Felipe and Suzuki got some comical lines especially if play with multiplayer with family or friends.
Sometimes, the game can be frustrating at times in challenge mode, when you get OB, WH. But I just reset the game by pressing all at once, R2, R1, L2, L1, start and select and it will go to the main menu.
If you love golf, pick this up only at a reasonable price, also check IGN for in depth review of this game and more.
Great golf game, more fun than other golf titles November 21, 2008
H. DUONG (Alhambra, CA)
I bought this game with a great deal on Amazon's Gold box. The game is fun, addicted and rated Everyone, good for family time. Personally, I feel it is more fun than other official golf titles and more casual to play. PS3 is powerful, so the graphics could be improved to make good becomes great.
