I was hoping to see some combat in this one with that title but no such luck. This is based on an arcade game. It’s the usual game mechanics (with much reduced club choice) but is just awful to play. The ball movement on the screen doesn’t seem to represent where it actually ends up half the time, small putts are nearly impossible as you have to mash the space bar super quick to not overhit it. Also the player looks Godzilla sized on the course.
First game where you can have a female player so I’ll give it credit for that. Otherwise, one of the worst so far. Curious how you can take the exact same gameplay as all the other games and mess it up so badly. I’m sure the arcade version played better than this.
