Outlaw
Golf
(reviewed on Xbox.)
This is a great game with good graphics.
It doesn't really have a plot except that you have to be the best golfer.
You start off with four players that you pick from.
There is Summer and Autumn. Summer
is the golfer and Autumn is the caddy. Summer is slutty and so is Autumn.,
but she is still very good at golf.
There is Ice Trey and his caddy
Fesh Fruit. Ice Trey wants to be a rapper but he likes golfing too much.
Fresh Fruit is also his DJ.
There is El Suave and his caddy
El Ramone. El Suave is a neat French guy and El Ramone is an ugly guy.
There is Harley and her caddy Snake.
Harley is a tough girl and Snake, a big biker guy, is afraid of Harley.
You would think that Harley is a wrestler.
Then there are 7 secret characters
that you have to get by beating certain courses. Also there are 3 events
and in every event there are courses. There is also an event for drills.
There are 4 sets of drills. The drills are how you get better Stats.
There are four stats you have to
get better.
- Distance
- Accuracy
- Composure
- Control
You have to get your stats better and if you don't, you
won't win all the courses.
Also, while you are playing a course, you have composure,
which is how your player feels. The better your player feels, the better
your player plays.
Now there are two ways you can get composure back. Yo
can make a good shot, which icreases your composure a little bit. The
other way is to beat up your caddy, which can raise your compsoure all
the way. I think that is the best way t oregain your composure.
The announcer is very good at tricking you. Almost too
good.
I like this game a lot.
Boss Says:
The first time I played this game, I played for 7 hours and it felt like
2. It stays hard enough be challenging. The character AI is very good.
When I play, the console controlled players play just better enough than
I do to be a challenge. As you get used to the controls and learn to spin
and curve the ball, and learn to use the grids and roll preview on the
greens, and earn better clubs and stats, you will play better and better.
There are nice little graphic rewards
sprinkled throughout the game. Tea off well, the the ball explodes off
the tea leaving a trail a fire and smoke. Hit the ball onto the hiway,
and if a car or truck hits it the ball goes flying.
The Drills are just that, yet they're
made interesting by how hard yet not impossible they are.
Multiplayer mode is fun, but with
4 beginners playing, it took 3 hours to play 18 holes. When I would think
about the game later, it was like a memory of really playing against real
players.
My one complaint is the Outlaw nature
of the game. I don't mind it but I know many people who will be immediately
put off by the crudeness displayed by the characters, and they'll never
see past the crudeness to see how good the game play is. I wish there
was a CLEAN switch that would make all the players nicer people. Then
I could take it to a PE instructor I know at a girls school who is looking
for a good golf simulation package so her girls can learn the rules off
play before they get to a real course, which isn't easy in the middle
of the city.
Very enjoyable game.
