4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Golf Game, July 29, 2002

By 

Ed Holstein "Ed" (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews

Outlaw golf is one of the best golf titles I have played on any system. A quick list of the pros and cons.

Pros:

- You can unlock different characters and build up their attributes and club/ball selection. This is a good feature that I haven't seen on any other golf games.

- Your players composure affects how forgiving the games controls are, if you shank one then your composure drops, a good shot will bring your composure slightly back up.

- Did I mention the golf engine is incredible? Well, it is. Graphically, this game is top notch and the Xbox has the hardware to support it with only the occasional, baaaaaarely noticeable drop in frame rate.

Cons:

- The jokes just aren't as funny as they try to be, and it gets a little old after a while

- The composure settings aren't all that accurate. Example, any time you end up in the rough, your composure drops. Well, most golfers I know aren't going to be too bummed if they are in the rough 12 yds from the hole after their 2nd shot on a par 5. This can be pretty annoying sometimes.

- There needs to be more than 3 courses.

- My biggest gripe by far, the game is too easy. While I struggle to break par on games like Links and Tiger Woods golf, I can consistently shoot 10-15 under par on this game. Golf is supposed to be a CHALLENGE!

Sorry, anyway, is a good game. I would recommend it despite its flaws.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly good play, lots of fun, June 13, 2002

Plain and simple, Outlaw Gold is a lot of fun. For a game that features strippers, malpractice-suit laided doctors, dominatrix, bikers, etc. instead of Arnold Palmer or Tiger Woods, it actually a rather good golf game in it's own right.

How good? I think that the game play could sell the game if real golfers were used.

The game is rather realistic; both in terms of game physics and players psyche. What I mean by the latter is that if you score a 10 on a par three, getting under par on the next hole is a lot harder than if you''d made par on that par three. In essence, the ease of play is granted to those who are playing well. One of the great things about this game is that you can beat up you caddy to get back that karma.

I only gave this game 4 out of 5 stars because at times the graphics look like a PS2 game; which isn't bad if you were playing this game ON a PS2, but I have come to expect a bit more from Xbox games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously... The Perfect Mix, July 2, 2002

If there is anyone looking for a golf sim that does not take itself too seriously, then this is the game for you. As the first golf game of any kind for XBOX, the gang at Hypnotix have set the bar oh so high. Once you get past the novelty of the characters- with their sycophantic caddies in tow- and the low brow humor that runs throughout, you will find yourself playing quite a nice little golf sim. The ambitious and well-done Composure Response System (CRS) takes the simulation part farther than any of the true golf sims. While I am only vaguely familiar with the "Hot Shots" franchise on the PS2, I can confidently say it doesn't touch this. Here is a breakdown of the main components (1 Awful to 10 Great)...

Gameplay (8.5):
The game play is almost perfect. It uses the standard "stick" mechanism of today's sim swings. Pull down on the right analog stick and push up, but you had better do it straight. The wind, club selection, and your player's composure are also factored in nicely- and realistically. Finally, what better way to restore your composure after several bad shots than to beat the living daylights out of your caddy? You have to earn it though. You must acquire Beating Tokens to do so, and you can get these by doing good things such as shooting a birdie.

Graphics (9.5):
This team really tried to tap into the incredible power of the XBOX. Vertex shading and other tools are used to render a spectacular looking environment on all 3 courses. Top-notch.

Replay (9.0):
There is so much to unlock that you could easily not be finished before the sequel comes out. There are so many different types of games to win in Tourney mode, and when you do, you unlock goodies such as new equipment, new games, and (finally) new characters. The multiplayer mode is also excellent with even more diversity in gameplay modes, including Casino, Time Attack, and My One and Only added to the standard fare of Stroke, Match, and Skins. The only thing lacking here is multiplayer Tourney. And don't forget the training course. Here you can complete tasks to upgrade the golfer's skills.

This game is the perfect sim/arcade hybrid. I had been waiting patiently for EA to release the Tiger Woods franchise on XBOX, but I wait no more. I have my golf game and it is a good one because it takes the positives from EA's Tiger and blends in some well thought-out fun. Sure, it does have a somewhat steep learning curve (I won't reveal too much here), but it is well worth it once you pick up on the nuances. The only real complaint I have is that it does not track user stats such as Driving Accuracy, Greens in Regulation, etc. A small blemish indeed. For anyone who doesn't take their golf sims too seriously, this game is definitely for you.
