15-Aug-2001 Does the world really need another golf game? Golf. Even the word sounds old and stuffy. Your dad plays it, so why in the name of all thatis good and holy should you give the old git the pleasure of knowing you're into something he's into? It's the thin end of the wedge, before long youill be driving a Volvo estate and wearing Pringle sweaters. But wait, you donit have to invite your dad to your playing sessions, and let's face it, are you gonna call Tiger Woods boring? The first question has to be: Why bother, aren't all golf games the same? Damm fool, don't you know time has been taken to bring the authentic golfing experience that bit nearer your fingers, and they haven't done too bad a job. See it's all to do with the new dual shock control system. Instead of button bashing it's a case of using the shock pads as you would a golf club, and yep, it helps bring the game nearer to the real thing. GRABS/CAPTIONS:1 Ah, the great outdoors, how...green 2 Terrific pair of slacks old man 3 this is how it looks to the birds Even in the realm of golf variety counts. It may be twatting a ball around with a stick, but doing it on eight courses in twelve different ways, from strokeplay to pro tour counts for something. So for the golf nut it's like walking into your favourite shop and seeing a sign saying 'shop-lifters welcome', and for everyone else it's a top-notch buffet bar of a game.
Better than last year, and the Dual Shock control beats the hell out of the old fangled button method. However, for owners of any other golf game, or people who canit stand golf, itis completely pointless. Hurrah!
