1.0 out of 5 stars Now we know what Golden Tee 1985 would look like..., October 17, 2006

This is sad. A game that had a ton of potential (who doesn't want to play Golden Tee at home?) yet is sorely lacking. I can't believe the Golden Tee people put their brand name to this. Hope someone at the company made a buck off this lousy game cause they sure cheapened their name with this junk.

The fact that this game runs off batteries should be a warning sign. It's just plain weak. Complaints: The graphics are lousy, there's only one course, putting looks/plays awful, the trackball is bad, the whole interface is slow, the sound effects seem to be from the era of Pong. It's really really that bad.

I don't know why they made this game. Golden Tee has such a cult following that they could have probably charged 100+ bucks for a real trackball console with a bit of memory and a choice of courses w/ good graphics. Something that replicated the full-size game. And I bet people would have bought it, too. Now nobody will trust them when/if they ever do that.

[...] I don't even like video games but I was excited by the prospect of this thing. And it totally let me down. I'd give it zero stars if possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed is an understatement, October 15, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: PlayTV Golden Tee Golf (Toy)

I had been looking forward to this game for quite some time. I was so happy to finally get the game. After installing the 4 batteries I hooked the game up to my TV and was disappointed before I even started playing. The graphics were horrible and the screen was shaky. Besides the look of the control panel this is nothing like the real game you find in the bars. I am surprised Incredible Technologies was willing to put their name on this product. The trackball is a joke. It barely spins and you can't get any power on your shots. You never see the golfer like you do in the real game and when you are putting you can't adjust for hill, terrain, or anything else. Putting is too easy. There is no way to miss. Driving and fairway shots are unreliable because the weak trackball doesn't respond to what you intend to do. I don't have the money or the room in my place to buy the arcade version so I figured this would be a good substitute. Boy was I wrong. There is no course selection and the course you do play is absolutely boring. I am going to return this unit tomorrow. It is way too frustrating and there is no way to get any enjoyment from this game. I think I am going to head to the bar now, play the real game, and drink until the memory of this cheap imitation is long gone.

As I side note: I wish you could give a product 0 stars. It doesn't seem fair that 1 star is the lowest you can go. One star gives this product way too much credit!

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT YOUR GOLDEN TEE, October 16, 2006

This review is from: PlayTV Golden Tee Golf (Toy)

I WROTE A REVIEW FOR THIS GAME ON TARGET.COM, BUT I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE NOTE TO MY REVIEW, OR MORESO, THE IMAGE THAT YOU SEE IN THIS AD. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON THE TV, THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT!!!! WHAT THE GAME LOOKS LIKE. I CONTACTED TARGET.COM TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS FALSE ADVERTISING AND THEY RETURNED MY SHIPPING COST IMMEDIATELY. BUT NONETHELESS, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SCREENSHOT, IT IS FROM THE REAL ARCADE GAME, NOT THE PLUG-N-PLAY YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY. LIKE THE OTHER REVIEW, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING! GO TO THE BAR AND PLAY THE REAL GAME AND SAVE YOUR MONEY, FRUSTRATION, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND THE GAS MONEY TO GO RETURN THE GAME THE NEXT DAY. TRUST ME, YOU WILL.
