| • | The new shot system offers a high risk to reward ratio and gives players the ability to hit the ball farther and straighter, but also penalizes more on mistimed shots. | | • | Customize a tournament and square off with up to 50 of your closest friends, or swing into the lobby and interact with others while customizing your personal avatar with more than 300 options. | | • | Select one of 15 different playable characters all with their own distinct look, attributes and quirky characteristics. Six entertaining caddies wait to guide you through the open fairways and the tenacious rough. | | • | Larger playable environments let you play your errant tee shot from a neighboring hole, or if it makes sense take aim at a different fairway and use it as a shortcut. | | • | In between rounds, head to the PlayStation Store to download exciting content including characters, courses, clubs, clothing and other golf swag. |

 worth the wait April 27, 2008

Delaystation 3 owners have put up with a lot. Fortunately Sony delivers big time with this installment of Hot Shots Golf. The courses are beautiful (six of them) and increase in challenge nicely. An element that really comes into play is peaks and valleys on the harder courses, requiring extra decision making to account for a drop or rise from your current lie to the green. It really adds depth but doesn't make the game too complicated. Wildlife abounds on all courses and it's funny to see animals scatter as the ball comes flying in. I found special shots easier to make in general (spin shots). You'll want to shut off the gallery noise which gets repetitive and annoying almost immediately, but the music is fiittingly soothing. Hopefully the Playstation Store will offer more courses to buy since that's the only gripe I could make. The new characters are very entertaining and enjoyable to use, as are most of the caddys. This is lots of fun, easy to pick up and tough to master. Highly recommended.

You'll have hours of fun with this game. It is pretty long and the Adv shot which is new to Golf games has quite a learning curve, specifically on the green. Overall great game to kill some hours after playing some FPS

I have enjoyed this game since the day it has arrived. I knew nothing about golf prior to owning it, I have learned alot...I would definately recommend this game for the whole family
 3.5 Stars...Fun overall, but no real improvements April 8, 2008

If you are new to the Hot Shots series, this title will be very enjoyable to you. But, if you are a HSG veteran such as myself, who has played every single release, this one may disappoint you.
The developers stuck with the formula of gameplay, advancements/unlocks, goofy characters, but did not take any risks or make any major improvements. The new "Advanced Shot" system, while interesting at first, does not add much to the "fun" factor. The courses are generally forgettable and nothing spectacular; some of these may even have been "borrowed" from old releases.
I respect the publisher's decision to stay with what works, but after 5 or so releases, it's time to evolve the series, or at bare minimum, come up with more unique courses. Perhaps there will be downloadable content at reasonable prices, but this should have been included.
In summary, this is a worthy rental if you are a Hot Shots fan.
Highly addictive April 1, 2008

There's not much that I can say that hasn't all ready been said by other reviewers. This game is beautiful, and a lot of fun. You're given two starting characters with a caddy to choose from. The environments are simply breath taking.
But that's not the selling point of this game. No, the online play is the best feature and while it may not have voice chat it is still highly enjoyable! You're able to customize your own little character that looks somewhat similar to a Mii from Nintendo's Wii. As you win tournaments against other players you receive new items to customize your character with.
I highly recommend this for any fan of casual golf games, that likes to play with other people.
