5.0 out of 5 stars
A golf game that makes you laugh. Not for serious golfers., February 16, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
Retiree here. After reaching pro level on Wii golf, I wanted to play a different golf game. The same course (Wii golf) is too repetitive. I agree with the other 2 reviews posted to date. Just purchased it, have played for 2 hours, and will update this ASAP. It's a fun game with very good graphics. I have not read the directions yet, (like to jump in and play first), and found swinging confusing until I realized how it works. You lift your club until the blue line on the power bar, equals the distance you need to drive. Totally different than Wii golf, and should not be confused with a real golf match game. However, there is enough golf, and interesting scenery, to satisfy my desire for a second game. This game is a sleeper, and will get much more playing time than some other titles I have reviewed.
While Miis are not used, the characters are a definite plus. They are lifelike humans, rather than cartoonish. When you have some winnings, you take your character to the clubhouse, and dress them as you like. The costumes range from conservative to highly suggestive. I wasn't able to purchase the new clothing, but I was able to change my character into the different outfits. Initially, you only have a choice of 2 characters. I am using Hanah, a cute and personable girl of about 20. She has a cute voice. Based on my initial 3 hole practice round (done 4 times until my first birdie), I expect to put quite a few hours on this game.
This is my update. I have now read the directions. Marginal help. Then I went through the tutorial again. I was making a lot of mistakes. You need to go through the tutorial a second time. It means more after you have played. You can change the direction of your putts and drives, just like Wii golf. The special shots are fun. I just finished 3 more hours of play. The game is addictive, once you understand it. You have to like humor. I like Rayman Rabbits. I think 8 years and up is an appropriate age level. Girls 8+ will especially like the different costumes and accessories available. Boys will just like the game play. It's also great for adults. I'm a retiree. The key is to go through the tutorial several times. Once before you play. then at least once after you have played for 1-2 hours. I was initially frustrated before I went back to the tutorial. I think this is a great game and will be playing it quite a bit.

Good, but...., January 7, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
Good game...not great, here's why:
I agree with the previous review that the "special" shots are a bit confusing and are not described very well in the manual. I've been playing the game for several weeks now and am still not sure I'm doing them right. Most shots I apply back or front spin to. Does it happen? Who knows! I honestly can't tell. That said, the game so far has been fairly easy without the benefits of these bonus shots.
The other thing that bothers me about the game is the way you power a swing by lifting your "club" and holding it there. Anyone who has played golf knows that the swing should be one fluid motion: this is just plain wrong and awkward. You still swing naturally, but there should be no interruption between the backswing and the swing! However, just the action of swinging the wii remote brings so much more to the video game that I am willing to forgive this. From what I have researched, the soon-to-be-released We Love Golf (the only other golf game I considered) uses this same technique. Why can't we swing like a normal golfer and not like a beginner? From what I have played on Wii Golf and read about Tiger Woods Golf, the answer seems to be that the Wii remote has a hard time accurately gauging the power of your swing. I eagerly await the wii golf game that can do this; maybe one with an extra sensor that will read your swing from the side?
In the meantime, I'm content with Super Swing Golf 2. The game looks beautiful, and the courses are challenging and inventive enough to keep you interested. The game has a manga-type look to it's characters, so over-protective parents should be advised that some players (and one in particular) are dressed a bit provocatively. Hey, it's keeping me playing...

It's really Pangya, August 16, 2009
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
So anyone reading knows, it's actually the console version of the free online game Pangya. If you want to test it out before purchasing, check out the free online game (which the English version is in season 4). Just search "Pangya"
