Full of fun from the moment you first swing the club! The online really adds onto this game very well!
When you first play the game, the controls may be hard for you on advanced swing. But there is an easy swiing mode which has tought me well, and now i use advanced swinging! The story mode is in sets of tournaments, with a boss at the end of each one. The tournaments get proggresively harder as you proceed, especially the bosses, but you get rewarded for winning and there is lots of prizes to get, including new clubs, golf balls, golfers and much more! And there are lots of different places you will visit whilst playing through story mode, including snowy mountains, grassy highlands, and a chinese holiday venue, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Multiplayer is really fun to play with friends, and is always full of competition! With all the skill shots you can do, including spiral shots and, my fave, the flag shot, there can be unexpecting turns to each game! So, if you have 2 or more control pads, invite some friends over and show them who's boss! :)
Now for the main part of this review. The Online!
First of all, you must update to the latest version, which could take a while, depending on your internet connection, then you have to download the actual online mode, which takes about an hour! But once it's done, you're ready to go online! There isn't many people playing it nowadays, but there is some left. You start off by customising your avatar by naming him, giving him some personal details, and dressing him up with accessiories, with more to be unlocked by winning online matches. There are lots of lobbies to choose from, and they each have their own fun things in them which can make waiting for a match less boring, like kicking a football around, sleeping in a bed, and even sliding down a Giraffe's neck! There is also DLC to buy, including new characters like Sackboy, and new places, like a Dinosaur-infested world!
Now that my review is ending, i just want to sum up all what i have said into a short few sentences. It is a very fun game, with lots of content to keep you coming back. The online makes this game shine, and there is massive levels of competition in Multiplayer!
