411mania.com Quick Take

If you have ever played a golf game before *odds are that you have* than you will be right at home with Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is not only the best golf game on any current platform *that includes Wii*, but it’s also one of the best golf games ever. Mario Golf and Tiger Woods have nothing on Hot Shots; I definitely recommend it over the alternatives. There is room for improvement, such as adding voice chat into online play, but otherwise you’re going to have a hard time finding a golf game that’s better than this. You may want to wait until a price drop, but Hot Shots Golf is one of the best pick-ups on the PS3 *especially if you like sports games*.

Online play worked without a hitch and produced fun, fast, relaxing play on a 18-hole course. After each hole, players can easily choose from pre-set phrases to praise other players or complain about their performance.

The graphics engine is solid at 30 frames per second. Developer Clap Handz introduces more wacky characters and phrases in the title to provide a cute, offbeat atmosphere. The music is comprised a soft-beat tracks that compliment the relaxed atmosphere.

Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is another solid installment in the premiere Playstation franchise. The Advanced Shot Mode provides a new layer of depth to gameplay and the Online Mode is fast fun for all ages.

Loved
Advanced Shot System: While the original metered swing system is still available, the Advanced Shot System is one of the most natural golf swing mechanics I've encountered. Judging your power seems like it would be a crap shoot without a meter, but somehow they've made it work.

Hated
Unlocking Courses: It takes forever to unlock new courses in the game, which is pretty standard for the series. By the time you unlock the third course you'll be completely sick of the first two.
