I personally had no problems getting this game to run. I got it up and running within minutes, and was golfing soon after. I think this game is a joy to play. It gave me the impression of really being able to adjust my body position to hit the ball properly. To ready your swing, you have to set how your feet are positioned and how you angle the golf club, and I thought it was fun being able to do all those things to get the ball to curve just right onto the green, or at the right angle down the fairway. I haven't played many golf games out there, and this particular swing setup was new to me, but I enjoyed it. If you play golf leisurely like I do (but maybe golf video games more frequently), and like to learn about how your body affects your shot, I think you'll enjoy this game as I did.

I purchased this game and it would not work. I contacted the manufacturer(Oxygen) and they asked to send them a diagnostc. I sent this information and never received a response(it has been one week). I contacted them at least ten times, I also called them and left a message without a reply.Subsequenty I learned from my computer manufacturer that this game requires a T & L accelerator card which is not included in laptops and the game will not work on laptop. This information could easily have been suplied by them instead of ignoring my request for support.I will never know if this game is any good or if it will work and I am stuck with it.Buyer Beware!
In addition I would like to add that the phone support did eventually get back to me several days later and they tried to assist me but unfortunately the game is not designed for the current laptop but I never received a reply from the on line support

I was disappointed with the amount of ON SCREEN displays there were and found it too distracting to even play. After you hit the ball there is a streak that follows the ball. I found this annoying. I ended up taking it off my computer and found a different game that I like MUCH better. I'm glad I didn't pay a whole lot for this. It was disappointing.

As a person who frequents the golf course on a weekly basis, I can confidently say that this game may give real golf a run for its money. This game is a wonderful simulation of real life golf. The graphics and control settings are by far more realistic than any other simulated golf game out there. Unlike many other virtual golf game, Prostroke provides players with the ability to simulate the skills needed when playing a real golf game. I found myself angling my body as well as the club. I was even perfecting my footwork for the perfect shot. The game was great. I would recommend it for anyone who doesn't always have time to run down to the golf course or just simply feels like hitting a few rounds from the comfort of their own home.

In response to the previous review, buyers should beware of their own systems and the requirements for games. Ultimately, the lack of response by Oxygen is probably frustrating, but potential buyers should look at system requirements before purchasing a game.
I suggest those who have the proper systems and are interested in this game give it a shot.

i wasnt able to get it to play, but for a $1.99 you cant expect much.

it has some nice features and it's too bad that you can't see them. everything is black. the grass is black. the bunkers are black. I can't see anything.
