Having no interest at all in golf, I wasn't too thrilled when my friend begged for me to play this game. Soon after, my dad bought it. I soon fell in love with the multiple characters and courses and easily adjusted to the controls. They stretched the graphics to the limit; when you look far down the course, you don't see the white fog common on other N64 games. I highly recommend this game to everyone! From novice to expert, golf fool to golf fanatic, this game can be played by everyone.

I'm not that interested in golf and I haven't ever been crazy about sports video games, but Mario Golf is a huge exception. It's got anything that you could want from a golf game. It has tournaments where you can win trophies and birdie badges, putt-putt golf, shoot the ball through the rings, match play, and many other options of play. You can play up to four players at a time and the game saves all your data on its own. As you play the courses and gain experience points, you will unlock new courses. You can also get hidden characters in the game.

Everything about Mario Golf is great. It has great graphics, cool sound, superb control, and best of all, it's a lot of fun. It has more replay value than just about any sports game I've ever played. If you like sports games, or even if you're not crazy about sports games or golf, I would recommend checking out Mario Golf. It just might change your mind.

This is by far one of the most addictive games that I have ever played on the Nintendo 64. Mario Golf takes the simple game of golf and creates a unique gaming experience that you will suprisingly find yourself coming back for more and more of.

The game starts by giving you one course to play on with a handful of characters to select from. Your goal is to accumulate experience points by playing in tournaments and playing against other characters in match-mode. After attaining a certain number of points, you can unlock a new course. To unlock new characters to control (such as Mario, Wario, and other familiar favorites), you need to beat them in one-on-one play. Other characters can also be unlocked by completing other game modes such as the "Ring Play" where you have to hit the ball through floating rings on the course and make par.

Of course Mario Golf also provides multi-player mode where you can tee it up with your friends on any of the available courses.

The learning curve for this game is minimal, providing an easy-to-use interface which allows you to select clubs, survey your shot, and put spin on the ball with little effort. The hardest part of the game, which it well should be, is judging the length of your shot and accounting for the wind.

There are a lot of hidden "easter eggs" inside this game and I won't spoil it by revealing them. The great thing is that playing the game over and over to open these secrets hasn't gotten boring and I've logged over a hundred hours playing this game!

This is the best nintendo game ever. It features mario and his friends playing various "cyber"courses. There are also non-mario and friends players, such as Harry, a David Duval look- alike(you fellow golfers can guess harry's appearance from this description). Its a great game!

I have had Mario Golf for a while and it is great. The graphics look kiddish but the golf physics are right on. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the kiddy graphics. Graphics:4 Control:5 Sound:4.5 Playability:5 Lasting Appeal:5

This game is very good. The graphics are really good and it is a game that you can play a while and not get bored with. I rented it, and it was fantastic. The many game modes make it fun to play by yourself or against other people. It's a very good game, and I would recommend it.

Not that many golf games in the video game industry can actually sell very, very well. Most of them use a major player's name, and suppose to have their "skills" in the process. Not that many of them can have a strong sense of enjoyment in the golf world, where everyone wants a more serious side in the sports world with football, and basketball. However, Nintendo seemed to hit the nail on the head with their 2000 creation.

With Mario Golf, the game consists of the start of four golfers, including Baby Mario, Peach, and a couple of others. Throughout the game, you can access the Get Character mode, which can help you challenge other characters like Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi. Once you win the character, you also need them, the harder the challenger in the round. It is also important in the Tournament mode, where you can also earn enough points toward newer golf courses and challenging holes in the process. Each course reflecting on the cute, Mario Brothers themed style, which makes it appealing to all ages old and young, where the other games don't seem to have that sense of enjoyment.

Although Nintendo stopped making games for the Nintendo 64, Mario Golf is only one of the very few sports games I highly recommend for the system. Although many people might not see the review, because of the newer game system reviews and newer games of the Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2.

Mario Golf is one of those games that requires two or three friends and a couple bottles of [root] beer. It is by no means action-packed or furious. Yet it somehow is so darn fun you can't put it down. Plenty of modes to play (for single and multiple players), lots of courses to play on, and a large variety of characters to play with. It's an acceptable cartoonish look mixed with real golf rules and tactics that, overall, becomes very acceptable. Mario Golf is NOT just aiming your character and letting fire, however. It requires a lot of precision and taking into consideration the landscape, the weather, and even your character's habits. Fair warning: Mario Golf is very frustrating. Imagine hitting your ball into the rough EVERY time. Or getting stuck in a sand trap. Or missing a very easy putt that could have easily won you the game. -- Well, if you're looking for a more calm game, one that will require you to use some geometry skills and allow you to make fun of your friends... get this! You don't have to like golf to love Mario Golf. I promise.

I've played this game probably 50 or 60 times, and have beaten it. It was extremely fun while doing it, but it was too quick. With only 6 courses, it gets to be the same over and over again. However, there's also a way to earn new characters. You challenge them to a course, and if you beat them, you get to play as them. The more you beat, the more power you have (in the characters) If you manage to get birdie on every one of the 108 holes in the game courses, you can earn the best player, which is Metal Mario. He's pretty cool, and can drive the ball a whomping 313 yards. There are other cool characters, which you only see in this game. Baby Mario, Maple, Sonny, Harry, and some others, as well as the old favorites, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, DK (Donkey Kong), Peach, Wario, and some others. At the beginning of the game, you start out with one moderately easy course, and 4 characters to chose from. You need a certain amount of points to open a new course. Almost everything you play gives you points. Even a fun mini golf course gives you points. If you like the game of golf, and like Mario and his friends, you'd love this game!

This game without a doubt, is the best golf game ever. Easy to figure out play control gets new players hooked quick, yet the multiplayer modes and all sorts of other challenges in this game make the replay value extremely high. What this means, is that Mario Golf will continue to bring exciting fun to the player for a long time. And heck, thats just from the golfers perspective. An avid Mario fan will absolutly fall in love with this game. Everything you would want is here, from smooth rich graphics, to soothing music that really sets the mood for the shot! And the mini game mode also adds a touch of quirky fun to the game. This is the best golf game out there hands down.
