1.0 out of 5 stars Wait for a better miniature golf game, August 18, 2008

By 

JB "JB" - See all my reviews

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: King of Clubs (Video Game)

I found this game to be very disappointing. I expected to be able to play more than one golf course without unlocking them, but that doesn't seem to be the case. In addition, the graphics are dark and muddy and the text is difficult to read. The manual is written in a southern drawl which makes it difficult to read and seems completely unnecessary. It doesn't do a very good job of explaining how to play the game. I just can't find any reason to keep playing this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Muddy colors, difficult to see terrain, August 22, 2008

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: King of Clubs (Video Game)

I agree with JB's 8/18 review fully. I rented this w/o an instruction manual & played for about an hour & stopped from frustratio.
Menu options: Career, Tournament, Time Clock & Practice (of holes you have unlocked) Single & Multiplayer mode.
You only get a chance BEFORE the game to purchase things. Almost all needs to be unlocked. You start w/$2,000. A pee wee putter is $700, a rubber ball $25? or speed ball $70? can only be used once, changing color of the ball, changing the trail of it, adding more Fx sounds (it needed it), adding the custom characters (you start with a normal looking guy only) & Mulligans (able to re-do a shot $180 each)
Options is only sound level, having the help of knowing exactly where the ball would go including where it would land after bouncing/hitting objects on/off & a rumble feature which I had turned on, but never felt it used once.
During the game you can switch putters/balls.
Camera - angle the camera to look more down or across the course w/o zooming like naked eye. You have to hit a button to see the course from an overhead cam, but it's about 25 ft. up so you can't see the inclines/declines very well unless they are steep.
Course - There are many little mounds of dirt everywhere (the courses are all brown like mud) & other tiny lips & slight inclines/declines that you cannot see even w/the camera, even when within 20 ft of the hole. The courses start out hard immediately & in order to unlock things, you have to get par or under. You get $0-150? depending on how many strokes you used. There are also little money sacks if you ball touches, you get usually about $50 each. There are also bonus blocks, what they do, I have no idea. There is also green & blue rectangles like Mario kart, I have no idea what they do, I was playing bad enough w/o experimenting.
I didn't realize things until I played tournament w/comptuer AI (very bad, either he hits the ball perfect or totally screws up) which way I should go. All of the courses take some thinking & a lot of hazards, things that move, and sometimes even 4 large jumps that if you miss you will hit the hazard. The background, etc. look like cardboard cut outs. Maybe like if it was real, this is how they could do it within money reason. With the muddy colors, it just looks like easy way out to program it, there is no sun, so it looks like playing golf at night w/floor lamps & still there are almost no shadows to help you understand the terrain.
Controls - you hit & release A to decide power meter, when find the level you like hold A & swing.

This could have been good game w/better graphics/shadows to see terrain (or at least a grid like wii sports golf), funny things going on in the background & the characters saying/doing funny things, not just wearing a stupid costume only.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would It Be Fun If It was Easy?, May 18, 2010

Yes, the graphics on some courses are a little dark and bumps are sometimes a surprise but there are lots of hidden ways to conquer these holes. You earn money so quickly that you can buy anything you want in the way of balls, clubs, mulligans if you really need them. If the courses weren't a little difficult sometimes, you would just run through them and complain that the game is too easy. For such a low price, we feel it is well worth it and a lot of fun. I don't know what some people expect for $14.
