We Love Golf

How about ... s/love/like/;

Nope. More like s/love/wasted money on this piece of crap/;

Maybe the Wii can play golf ... but not with this game. The interaction with the remote isn't right. Okay, the interaction with the remote absolutely sucks. What were they thinking? Did they even TRY to play this game with a Wiimote? The popups get in the way of seeing what you're supposed to do, the remote responds haphazardly - sometimes letting go of the button executes a swing, sometimes it doesn't ... take a guess and hope for the best.

This is one reason why software doesn't come with a refund - they'd eat it really quickly.

Summary: Play it if you're drunk or whatever. Then you can blame it on the booze. Otherwise, if someone gives you a copy for your birthday, re-gift it to your ex at Christmas.

And make a point of avoiding CapCom in the future ... obviously their glory days are back in the 8-bit world.

I think golf games will be better once that new higher sensitivity dongle comes out. The biggest problem I had with the packed in golf game is that the putting sucked.

I never tried the bundled golf game, and I have another golf game (King of Clubs) that I'm going to give a try sometime in the near future. It's sitting on the shelf along with a few other games I bought but haven't opened yet (no TIME!)
