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.

Summary: For a golf game it's fun to play
Comment: I bought this based on IGN review and also when it was a great price. This game is not worth 60 bucks more like 20 bucks.
Now on to the game, the characters are fun and easy to use. Characters such as Felipe and Suzuki got some comical lines especially if play with multiplayer with family or friends.
Sometimes, the game can be frustrating at times in challenge mode, when you get OB, WH. But I just reset the game by pressing all at once, R2, R1, L2, L1, start and select and it will go to the main menu.
If you love golf, pick this up only at a reasonable price, also check IGN for in depth review of this game and more.

Summary: Great golf game, more fun than other golf titles
Comment: I bought this game with a great deal on Amazon's Gold box. The game is fun, addicted and rated Everyone, good for family time. Personally, I feel it is more fun than other official golf titles and more casual to play. PS3 is powerful, so the graphics could be improved to make good becomes great.

Summary: fun but, could be more!
Comment: hot shot golf, for those who are not familiar with the series, takes an anime-comical approach towards the players. i much prefer that to something like Tiger Woods which is too serious and you end up w/ strangely dead but, more realistic players. (guess that's a comment on all sports that try to be Real.)
i have to agree with the other reviews regarding a lack of extras and courses. it is fun, but i wish it came with more courses and characters.
i actually like the Advanced shot method (which some other reviewers have panned). you click x, when the back swing reaches to a point of power you like, you hit x; then a small reticule closes in to the ball and you click as near on the ball as possible. it takes timing, but it didn't take me long to get the hang of it. even adding the spin on it isn't so bad.
someone noted it doesn't give you the wind information on your first shot. you need to drop some grass to gauge it (although the arrow does give you some hint on how strong it is).
i wouldn't pay more than [...] for this game especially if they "offer" more courses for download.

Summary: Best Sports Game Yet - Online OK too
Comment: Probably the most interesting part of this game is the online experience. Playing in tournaments with up to 50 people is a lot of fun and you can win unique prizes too. The gameplay is basically perfect but the biggest downside i have found is that you are only on the servers with other Americans and Europeans, and from what ive heard the game is really popular in Japan. So it boils down to somtimes youll be online in the lobby and there will only be about 20 people. With something like 10 floors and 10 lobbies and 50 people per room there is the potential to interact with 5000 people but in reality there are never more than 70 people IN THE WORLD on at one time. if they could do a better job of getting more people together or if the popularity somehow took off then i'd give it a 5/5

Summary: Decent Golf Game!!!
Comment: This game is pretty fun, I had HSG3 and FORE for the PS2 and I had a good amount of fun playing those game. I also purchased the HS Open Tee 1&2 for the PSP system and those games were really fun as well. I think this game is pretty good, but I don't think it's better than any of it's predecesors.
Actually the game is like the other one's to me, I just consider it a new installment of the series.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game b/c it's fun and it's not hard to get the hang of. I think they're all linear games but it's cool. One thing I don't like is that you cannot change out tops and pants for the characters. One other thing I'd like to see would maybe that an African-American character or two since we play golf also.
No hard feelings, the game is great, I'd recommend it to anyone that likes golf or just wants to have fun!
