This is my first review so bear with me.... Super Swing Golf is a great game for anyone who appreciates the sport of golf. Yes it is "quirky" and set in a fantasy land, but once you get past that, it is really a surprisingly deep golf game. You can do all of the stuff you would expect to do in a golf game, including backspin, hooking, slicing, curving the ball, low punch shots, this game has it all. As far as controls go, the game of course uses the Wii mote to swing the golf club. On your back swing you select the desired amount of power, click and hold "A" then let it rip. The wii-mote senses if your club is straight or if you would hook or slice the ball. This was not good for me at first because I tend to slice the ball in real life, so i sliced the ball in the game. But i have sinces corrected my swing and want to try to same technique in real life to see if it holds up. O ya and putting isn't all that bad once you read the instruction manual about what the dots mean, and if you have any golf skill at all you can read the green with the dots. No there isn't a curved line to help you "cheat" in my book, to see if you are going to make it in. But hey there isn't a curved line in real life so suck it up. There is also a button mode for swinging the golf club like traditional console games, but that defeats the whole purpose of buying this game for the Wii so i haven't even thought about trying it yet.
Graphics wise, this game is very bright and cheery and has some good visuals. Nothing too spectacular. It runs very smooth for the most part, with some minor slow-down when hitting some balls. But the effects are pretty cool so it doesn't bother me too much.
Sounds in this game are very good, I mean they sound like clubs hitting balls. The music is almost addicting, I will be playing a round of golf, and i will find myself humming to the song, or tapping my feet. And after i sink a putt or hit a good drive i might even dance a little to the songs. Only gripe is, no voice acting. I mean it could be a good thing since the dialouge isn't very good, but after reading the whole Zelda:TP story i am kinda lazy and tired of reading. O well.
Overall fun factor and lasting appeal for this game are very high. There is so much to unlock and play in single player, it will keep me occupied through the holidays and well after that. Plus there is multiplayer for up to four people. I just played the balloon pop mode for multiplayer which was pretty fun, although i was playing with my g/f and she really couldn't hit any of them so she didnt like it. But i am sure if i play with someone better it would be a blast. There are a total of 11 golf courses all varied in difficulty. I just got to play on the course that takes place on a huge-air craft carrier type of ship and it is crazy, and pretty challenging. This is only the 4th course I have been able to unlock, i can't wait to play some of the later stages, i can only imagine how crazy they are going to be. In conclusion i would DEF. reccomend this game to anyone that is on the fence about it, or anyone who likes golf games in general, very fun, and you won't be dissapointed.
