Personal review

A golf game based on a manga and anime series. I don't know the series myself, but having read about it, it must be some of the weirder stuff. The game isn't realistic and doesn't try to be realistic like most other golf games. The courses take place in a mountaineous region, as well as a city and they have obstacles like bottomless pits and whirlwinds. The number of clubs are much more limited than in other golf games. So on the one hand the gameplay is simpler, on the other hand the obstacles make it more difficult. You can however control the ball a bit when its in the air. I don't mind strange ideas in games, especially not golf games, because they are very similar otherwise. But there is no real goal in this game except beating your high score. I couldn't find a story or tournament mode. There is nothing that would bring me back after playing all 18 holes once.
