Good & Promising but frustrating

You might be wondering why on earth I've even played this game. However my other half and I are into our golf, and are also on the look out for couch co-op games, so this seemed a no brainer. And in all fairness despite a few flaws, it's actually a good game.

Let's start with the negatives. The main flaw is the multiplayer mode, which is the main reason we bought this. To begin with, there is only 1 course available on multiplayer. You have to unlock the rest one single player mode, which takes forever (I'm still at it). Which is weird, as how you do in multiplayer has no effect on your single player rankings. The other issue with multiplayer is your can't create your own player in that mode. You can create one in single player & use it in multiplayer, but there's no direct creation in multiplayer. You also can't use multiple custom players if you're using numerous PSN accounts. The only other issue is that they've tried to throw rpg elements into the single player mode and it really isn't necessary. It's a golf game, after all.

Those criticisms aside, it's actually a very fun and quite accurate golf game. The courses are great looking and fairly challenging, and the different mode options are fairly fun too. The single player mode has lots to do and the character builder is very detailed.

If you're into golf and are looking for a fun game to play, I'd probably recommend this. As long as you can put up with the very Japanese style and the multiplayer niggles.

Definitely worth looking at

The game is historically inaccurate, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the game, the multiplayer especially is worth partaking in.

Graphics are stimulating and the online component are incredibly fun. It's more than just a FPS. (0 more)

The story mode is lackluster, so it is very much a multiplayer game. However, there is no split-screen ability. (0 more)

Excellent

This is a great game. I started the story but jumped straight into the multiplayer storyline which I liked so much better. The graphics are beautiful and gameplay much better than the previous red dead. The only problem is the amount of time it takes to get from A to B. Something happens you lose everything and you can't save.
I tried the PvP battles. Meh.
Overall it's very cool but eventually you get bored especially if your friends are not playing.

Hey Smashbombers!

Following on from last week when I put together a list of great multiplayer games, this week I focused on single player games!

Multiplayer games are great, but sometimes you want to enjoy some solo gameplay, and these games offer some great stories!

Hopefully these games could help keep you entertained if you're a bit bored at the moment.

If you've already tried any of these games, let me know what you thought in the comments, I'm always up for some video game chat!

Stay Safe & Happy Reviewing!
Ollie.
