I have one of those rare, vintage versions snuck out during pre-demo creation, likely highly valuable to videogame afficionados or educators. One location showed characters' winter animations with an obvious lack of winter scene graphics. The choice of seasons was available on two of the options screens, but using one of those froze the game when choosing a particular season. (Hey, if you want to make money, why not market for as many people as you can?) Here, an 'Extra-Easy' mode might be nice for the easy-does-it beginners. The 'retry' options which had been available in training mode are completely unavailable. With truly exceptional camera views and beautiful settings, the investment in making an initial character anyone could relate to would have been invaluable. Did I say cheers? The terms snuffles, whines or screeches may be more accurate. (That's a minus value.) Just thank goodness the option to click through the annoying 5-year-old cheers and banter were available. Putting it on a mature body gives the planning and marketing departments negative points from this table. Perhaps their misconception of having a choice of a starter character with a 5-year-old personality (either Phoebe or Mike) warrants rating the game E.

Once in game mode, surprisingly, even though the analog sticks on my PS2 version were available for these options, there are no options to end the game and return to the main menu.?! Perhaps their planning department's deadline was constrained, as the other options, locations and camera angles were full and satisfactory, with the additional exception of the character choice. It's easy to start off on on your own, it's training mode is comfortable & pleasant, and game mode is a pleasure to watch and play, while a little limited.

This game could have gone a long, long way.

Hot Shots Golf Fore! is also the first in the series to offer online play. A number of caricatured caddies are also available, to offer support and advice (sometimes, whether it's wanted or not).A favorite feature from the PlayStation's original Hot Shots Golf returns in this version: the ability to play 18 holes of carom-friendly miniature golf. As in earlier games, certain characters are available from the start and players will need to unlock the others, but all can be customized with different clothing and equipment. Sticking to the series' successful mix of approachable interface and realistic action, the game offers players numerous perspectives of each lie and shots are made through button taps, timed to a fluctuating bar that determines power and accuracy.Hot Shots Golf Fore! offers a dozen courses (some of which were featured in Hot Shots Golf 3), and an even greater selection of characters to play through them. Clap Hanz Limited invites PlayStation 2 gamers back for another round, in this fourth edition of the cartoonish golf sim with the serious gameplay.
