I am a big golf fan and a big fan of hot shots golf 1 and 2. But this game is terribly bad. The AI Interface and controls are sloppy and poorly put together. Make sure you rent this before you buy it.

Not that Good

I am not the biggest golf fan in the world, but had heard some good things about this series. There are no big golf pro endorsements, no real-life courses simulated, etc. Just a fun golf game that looks good and doesn't take itself all that seriously. One thing that is extrememly realistic are the "physics" involved in the game. Also, it is very easy to just pick up and start playing. The only thing I really didn't like is the caddy talking ...annoying.

Fun but frustrating

Like all golf games both video and real, when you hit the ball wrong, nothing seems to go right. This game is as fun as the other reviewers say but just when you think you have it figured out...

Very fun and easy for anyone to play

Hot Shots Golf 3, the sequel to the fun and accessible Hot Shots 1 and 2, is a very fun golf game, and easy for anyone to learn. Part of the reason this game is so appealing is that you don't have to be a master before you start having fun; Gran Turismo 3 was like that, and the first 10 hours with that game was a real struggle. With Hot Shots Golf 3, anyone can pick up a controller and quickly learn to play within 15 minutes. I even tried a round with my dad, and after playing a few courses, he was scoring par and birdie without much trouble.

However, it is not an easy game once you get going. The initial courses are fun and mildly challenging, but as the game goes along, the courses become (thankfully) harder. As goes usual golf gaming fair, there are a countless number of secrets and items to unlock. You can unlock secret clubs, characters, wallpapers and more by earning "Hot Shot" points while you play.

The only things that I didn't like about this game were the unorignal characters and the annoying sound effects. The characters are very stereotyped, as usual, and I would have preferred Sony to use the original Japanese characters.

Other than those two bad points, Hot Shots Golf 3 is a very fun golf game with a lot of longevity. There are plenty of secrets to unlock, six huge 18 hole courses to play on, and even internet scoring competition. While it's not wholly original (considering it's another sequel), it's a great accessible game, whether you're playing alone or with some friends.

cool game

I am on my second hsg3 the first one I owned had a tendency to freeze every time you tried to play in tournament mode. As for my second disc I have not had any problems with it so far. I have noticed that the further you get into the tournament the much much harder it gets. it isn't impossible to beat but it is a lot more challenging over all this is a great game

Great Game!!

I bought my husband a PS2 for his birthday in October and we just started out with racing games and I searched for a game that we could both play. One of my friends recommended this game and it doesn't disappoint, we love playing two player and making the characters trash talk...it's great!!! I loved the graphics.

Classic Hot Shots

Nothing like golfing with people with big heads. Remember how golfing games were so simple, yet fun? That is Hot Shots Golf. Forget the complexity of the Tiger Woods Games. Don't get me wrong Tiger's games are great. Get this if you feel you need a different golf pace with maybe a smile while you tee off on the back nine. This game is fun. Worth a look.

great game with a few flaws

Wonderful game where the difficulty is pretty consistent with your progress although it's frustrating with some golfers that have a natural curve and you don't know how to compensate for it. Some of the character comments during versus mode are a little weird but sometimes downright annoying and repetitive. The second wave of characters is tougher and seem to get lucky breaks even more often than their counterparts.
