Hands down, this is a blast. From the moment the graphics jump off the screen with a burst of color, you are hooked. This is my first foray into the world of HSG, but I am very impressed with this title. I have about 7 games for my PSP right now, and can't figure out why the other's take 4 to 5 times as long to load as this does. Literally, holes load in like 5 seconds. It's great for getting in 18 holes in minutes.
The graphics are very colorful and fun to watch. I find myself watching my opponent's shots just for fun because the scenery and graphics are so good looking. The sounds are fun, including the background sounds. You'll hear cows, yodelling, a bit of everything, making the course locations come to life.
Basically, the meat of the game is in challenge mode, where you can rank up your characters and unlock tons of customizeable options from bling-bling to hair-dos. I haven't played multiplayer yet, but it seems like a blast from the detailed instructions. I'm sure from just reading about it, that too could eat a ton of your time away.
Overall, a much more fun and fast game than Tiger Woods. A lot of depth for golf nuts, and a lot of fun for the amateurs.
Both games are kind of differnt. I'd consider Tiger better if you like traditional golf games. The analog stick is a bit more inclusive than the three push stop technique on HSG. But, HSG, is a faster paced, more colorful, and comical way (especially if you like anime). also, there are much mroe customization options with HSG, surprisingly since EA has recently seemed to make that their selling point. tiger is a blast if you don't mind taking a bit to play and enjoy traditional golf, but HSG is great for fast paced, party type, gold fun.
Got this today.. absolutely love it. I only have a few games but so far this is one of my top picks. Especially for those commutes on the train in the morning. The review is right about the colors too. HSG does seem to just leap off the screen.
Just picked it up. Amazing game. Limited on the soundbytes and background music. And the girls are named with boys names at points... Still fun though.
Why even compare this to Tiger? I mean, OK, they both are golfing games, per se, but they really are two different genres, IMHO.
It's like the Madden vs "Street" versions of football, etc. Both are cool in their own way, but might appeal to two totally different people.
Enjoy what you like, and let others do the same, I say!
