I bought this game simply because it has been in the market for a while and the price is fair. The most important reason is that I like sports games more than other genres of games. As the critics mentioned on magzines, if you're looking for the exactly real golf experience on your psp, then Tiger Woods series may be better for you. However, if you just want to be relax, have a easy game to play, then that's it. HotShot is an easy game to learn and play in very short time, and it also provides gamers interesting features to change player's appearance and gears, which can be acquired when the player passes certain level of game. It's interesting, though, but it's not as real as the other games. Therefore, I'd treat it as a leisure game as I want to be relax or kill time only, instead of challenging or taking a certain adventure.Read full review
The PSP will get some smiles and happy faces when they see what a good game this is. It has such an atmosphere of fun and gives people a great basic experience of golf on the PSP. The game has a good set of character cast members. You can hit a slice,fade,hook,topspin shot and have control over it. You can go turbo like in this too. The upgrade feature of this game with your skills is good also and don't forget that all the clubs are good and the same for the other golfers too. It has the same set up of the other Hot Shot games in its how to swing and use power shots. this is a basic view of the golf games to come and the PSP will start out with a nice big grin.
This is one of the few solid PSP titles. Its a great game and very well adapted from the ps2. You start off at the same beginner level as everyone else that purchases it which makes it great for any level gamer since the games difficulty is built around player progression. With plenty of unlockables, you just might find yourself up at 3am trying to finish a match play course to get 1 more promotion star to rank and a few more points on your spin level.....besides how can you not love playing dress up with golf avatar, personally I find whacking a golf ball 310 yards with a giant frying pan rather enertaining.
I bought this game because I wanted a new game to play on my PSP. I own Hot Shots golf 2 and Hot Shots golf Fore and I really enjoyed those games for the playstation 1 and 2. So I knew I had to get the PSP Hot Shots golf game. Since I recieved the game, I play it whenever I go on trips to the store or when I am at home. Pros One of the things I like about the game is how your characters stats improve the more you use him or her. I also like how you receive new clubs, clothing, balls, and other items after every tournament. I like the putting challenge mode in the game. It reminds me of the mini-golf in HGS-Fore. Con The only thing I wish the game had was the mini-golf mode. (AKA put-put golf) It was fun trying to figure out ways to get the 50 points by hitting these insane shots around the put-put courses. If you have played any other HGS game and really enjoyed it then this is a good purchase for the PSP.Read full review
It was sometime late in 2005 when my friend showed me his new toy... a PSP with Hot Shots Golf. He let me play it for a little while, and it was then that I decided... I had to have a PSP to play that addicting game! HSG makes golf video games fun to the normal gamer! I've never played any sort of golf game before HSG, and I never thought I would enjoy playing one. But there's just a lot of little things which added up to one great game... that kept me coming back to play over and over again. Graphics for this game are bright, colorful, and very aesthetic. This is not your typical Tiger Woods golf game, and it shows. From the opening video, HSG shows its intent and purpose: to be an extremely fun game to everyone. Courses are detailed, and vary greatly from each other in appearance. Characters have different apparel that they can wear, which players can unlock in different ways. The sound in HSG is, well... playful. Music is upbeat, and adheres to the overall feel of the game. Sound effects are somewhat limited, although taunting in multiplayer games is hilarious and quite annoying to other people as well, I'm sure. Gameplay is awesome in HSG! In an almost RPG style, you can unlock harder courses, better skills and equipment, which helps you to beat the harder tournaments and match plays. After awhile, the difficulty of this game gets quite high, and a player may find themselves having to repeat a tournament a few times before winning. And practice makes perfect, so it'll take awhile before you become worthy of the harder courses and challenges. In addition to the normal gameplay, there is a putting mode, which you can unlock apparel from. Also, there are medals that you can receive for different achievements, such as a hole-in-one, or double eagle, or getting all items. These medals are very difficult to get, and allow for even more replayability. In conclusion... Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee is an awesome game! Now that it's a greatest hit, and only costs $20, there's no reason for any type of gamer not to buy this one! Trust me... this one is worth it!Read full review
