A Step Above |
|
While many reviewers of this product have stated that you could pass on Open Tee 2 if you already own the original Open Tee - I say do not pass up this game. The addition of online tournaments and online match play have substantially increased the fun quotient for this game. Despite many of the other features and feel of the game remaining familiar, the ability to play against others worldwide gives this game increased appeal. Unless you have no intention of competing online, add this one to your arsenal. |

Deja vu isn't that fun |
Did you like Hot Shots Golf 1? Well, then save yourself $30 and play it again instead of flushing your money on this title. I loved HS1. It was a nice change of pace from Tiger Woods and easier to pick up and play. The problem with HS2 is that it is almost the exact same game, with half of the available courses repeating from HS1. I don't understand why they couldn't create all new courses. It's not like they're paying a licensing fee to Pebble Beach.
What's new? Well, there are new characters (yipee). There are new unlockables like the oh so funny nun's habit. I mean, who wouldn't want to golf in a nun's habit that doesn't do anything to increase your golfer's attributes? The caddies are both useless AND annoying. If you follow their advice regularly then prepare to fish your balls out of the ponds on a regular basis. The "special rules" like adding 2 strokes for hitting in the rough are especially aggravating. Unfortunately, these type of tournaments are much too numerous.
I gave the original HS1 a 5 star rating. Fun and easy. This version is just a reheat of the original with the annoying factor amped up to "11". If you really want to play the new 5 courses, wait a year and buy it used for $9.00 at Game Stop. |

I Love This Series! |
I played Hot Shot Golf 1, which is the first HSG for PSP, for hours. It was one of my favorite games and when Hot Shot Golf 2 came out, I was ecstatic! After playing this game for 40+ hours (not consecutively!), I give it 5 stars! Here's why:
Yes, HSG2 has many of the same items as HSG1 and it even includes many of the same golf courses. But don't worry, there's new golf courses to explore and even new pretty video sequences at the end after it saves your game. I also found the game to be way more refined than HSG1. I was glad that they finally fixed the way leveling power and spin to apply to all the characters you end up earning. In the previous HSG1, it only applied to the character you were playing at the time.
I also enjoyed the "presents" feature. When you're playing in Challenge Mode, sometimes you'll see a little sparkle on the course...zoom in and ta-da, it's a present! Or it's a character from HSG1 who wants to be your friend! I think it's a fun addition, although I've experienced times where the present has been smack dab in the middle of my screen, full zoom, and it won't give it to me.
I've found the minigame to be quite entertaining. In HSG1, you were putting on the green into holes of different distances with a single stroke. Obviously, the longer the distance, the more points you received. The minigame in HSG2 has you chipping into different holes, but they're at the bottom of deep wells that your ball lands into and finally (hopefully) rolls into the hole. It's fun to try to beat your high score and you win items for reaching certain scores. However, it seems to be the same golf course no matter what...maybe you can unlock a new minigame course if you get all 50 points in all 9 holes. Good luck doing that!
Other weird additions include "sound effects" and I've got to say they're a little annoying. You're putting and suddenly, you hear a recorder. And I swear I can hear the Combine mumblings from Half Life 2 in the background on certain holes. Back me up if you hear this, too! Also, for the first time, you can have a fat character or an anorexic one if you raise their loyalty high enough.
Even though it's similar to HSG1, HSG2 is such a good investment if you really enjoyed the first one! I logged in lots of time on both games and I don't regret it one bit. It's a great game and good for both long periods and short periods of playtime. I hope you like this game, too! |
