Good but flawed

This game is a wacky golf sim with solid standard physics and design. But it also had many flaws. Like no imagination on the course. It is more like Street Hoops (read my review there and you'll understand my point) , it dosen't have enough golf. It (just like Street Hoops) tries to make it up by making a big deal about the extras (which are only average.)

This game is terrible

Outlaw Golf provides the perfect mix of golf and hilarity. As many others have pointed out, the controls are excellent. The characters are awesome.....everything from a wannabe rapper to a stripper to a dominatrix! Especially interesting is the composure aspect of the game. The better you play, the easier it gets. The worse you play, the harder it gets. But not to worry....they provide the perfect way out of that vicious cycle, and this is one of the best things about the game and which sets it apart from other golf games.....beating the snot out of your caddy!!! And the better job you do of cracking your caddy's skull, the better you'll play. Pure genius! I hope they come out with an Outlaw Golf 2!

Golf the way we would like to play it.

Outlaw Golf is the best golf game i have played since the original Hot Shots. It has a great golf engine which means that it plays like a golf sim, but it dosnt take itself too serious. Just check out the characters and you'll see what I mean. You actually get to beat up your caddy! While I have to admit I sometimes found myself hitting tha "A" button to bypass the celebration scenes, it was still a lot of fun to play. Forget Tiger Woods and all that straight golf crud, this game is the way golf should be enjoyed.

Outlaw golf really gets you going

A Slightly Funny But Boring Golf Game

It is really hard to describe a game like Outlaw Golf. At times it can be funny and great, yet then again in other situations it can be dumb and boring. In my opinion, Outlaw Golf isn't a good solid game. My advice is that you shouldn't waste [price] of your money to get a game like this.

PROS
+ Funny Jokes, Characters, Features -Some of the jokes in this game are great. Beating up your caddie when your [upset] (when your composure is low), is a terrfic feature which def. added to the positive side of this game.

+ Easy Controls -The first time you play it, I can almost bet that you will have the controls down in a matter of minutes.

+ Multiplayer -The multiplayer for this game is good. What I truly like about it is that you don't have to have 4 controllers to play against 4 people. All you need is one controller which allows all the players to use. Also, another good aspect about multiplayer is that it offers different types of golf modes to play.

CONS
- Funny Jokes, Characters, Features -Although I said these catergories were good in the game, there also bad. Alot of the jokes get old very fast after you have played it a couple of times. This, I think, will leave gamers bored and even to the point where the don't want to play it anymore.

- Only Three Courses -This has to be the most biggest thing wrong about the game, THERE ARE ONLY THREE COURSES TO PLAY! I mean come on, three courses for a [price] game, thats really pretty bad. After continuously playing each course... over and over again, it gets so stupid, boring, and pointless.

Although in the end, it may look like the PROs in this game out-do the CONs, that is def. not true. My advice is to save your money and wait for some better games to come out on XBOX. Believe me... you'll be glad you did.

This is wothout a doubt the best Unreal Golf game. It is very accurate to real golf rules and regulations and the graphics are soooo great it looks like your on a real course. People say there is not enough options. .Well they are Naive!!! You can upgrade all the charactors throughout the game & do little mini games to improve them all. You can win new clubs, balls & unlock many funny looking charactors. This is a game I recommebd to any Golfer with a kick [butt] sense of humor.

Finally an Xbox golf game!

Although the characters are a little corny, and their actions a little crude, the golf is awesome. With many different games to play, it will provide many hours of fun.

This is a great game for golf lovers. The only down fall the game has is that you can not play a tournament with multiple players. The best part is beating the heck out of your caddie. (wish I could do this on the golf course)

A Great Game From A Small Company, But It's Not For The Kids

Before I give you my opinion on Outlaw Golf, I want to tell you about this game's offensive content, because there's a lot of it. This game contains strong language, coarse sexual dialogue and content, and bloodless, but still brutal, violence. It's single-handedly takes video game content to the next level. The next level is showing how games can be as, or almost as bad as, R rated films. This game may have a Teen rating (ages 13 and up), but don't be fooled. There are so many reasons why this game should have gotten a Mature (ages 17 and up) rating. The ESRB certainly didn't do their job when they rated this game.

Despite being extremely lowbrow, though, Outlaw Golf is the best golf game I've played since Mario Golf (N64). The graphics shine brightly with well-detailed characters and courses, and the game moves at a good framerate. On the sound front, this game sizzles with authentic golf sounds, fitting music and hilarious voicework. The controls score high points with a nice analog swinging function and useful camera angles. Putting is presented in an innovative way here: you first aim your shot, and then press X and see a line of where the ball will go when you hit it with the specified amount of power. You want to aim so the line goes into the cup, but there's a catch: you can only see the path the ball will go three times for each putt, making you have to aim properly. Much like Mario Golf, this game is made for non golfers in mind, but is also fun for golf fans. The humor may be lowbrow, but it adds a new touch to games like this, and the nifty composure system works well. For example, if you make a good shot, your composure will go up, and you will do better playing, but if you make a bad shot, your composure will decrease and you'll do worse playing. To refill your meter, you must make good shots or use beating tokens. What are beating tokens, you ask? You earn these by making Birdies or multiple Pars. You can use these to beat up your caddie in a brutal fashion. Think fights on The Jerry Springer Show, and you've got the right idea (complete with the audience chanting "Fight!"). If you beat your caddie up well enough, you will fill up your composure meter. You have to press the A button at the right time to execute the beating, making skill involved. These fights are violent, but really funny and enjoyable. All in all, Outlaw Golf is a great golf game, and a great first showing (for me, at least) for developer Hypnotix. Even if you don't like golf, buy this game, as long as you're of the age (I'd recommend ages 17 and up or mature 16 year olds).

FYI: Many people have complained that the game crashes with first generation Xbox systems, or the game just crashes, but I had no problems with the game. And for all you parents out there, don't let your kids anywhere near this game. Let them get Mario Golf instead.
