It's a very challenging fun game for people of all ages. Some of the dialogue gets repetitive, but still enjoyable.

Love this golf game!

I love golf and unlocking all different features of a game... this is the perfect blend! This game offers hilarious characters and so many courses and objectives to get through. I highly recommend this game for people at all different skill levels of video game golf. Have fun!

Awesome fun!

It's amazing that something so boring to me normally (golf) can be SO much fun to play on the PS2! This is the game I have played more than any other I have and the unlocks and variety of characters and courses keeps you coming back for more! In addition, there are a number of options for novice players that let's them join right in. The 4-player option (with only two controllers) is great for a group of friends!

Fun for the whole family

This is pretty fun. The character graphics are amusing and the courses are pretty and well done. It's got some flaws that I feel will work out with a LOT of practice which is why I wish you could give half stars here on Amazon. It's not a four star game but it's also not a three star game.

Some comments on game features:
Ignore the "Nice Shot" graphic that pops up often. It means nothing and only applies to the strike ON the ball. You can drive 40 yards past the green and into the trees or sand and still be told you made a 'Nice shot'.

The voice acting of both the caddies and your opponents is ANNOYING, they repeat themselves incessantly and appear to only have a very few phrases each. Luckily you can X through such rather quickly.

Pay attention to the wind. It really has an effect on your ball. When the club info says you can drive X yards and it's X yards to the hole be aware that balls WILL roll and course slope will have a large effect. The physics are pretty good here. So good it can be quite a challenge starting off.

Putting is a pain. You really need to pay attention to the way the green breaks. It's SO easy to hit too hard and rim-out of the cup or too soft and stop just inches away.

The AI is good but not, thankfully, perfect. It's going to take some practice to string together winning streaks or even your first win. I've got some disability problems with my hands and find easy mode with the 'everyone' clubs to be quite a challenge.

The mini-putt course (you have to unlock the 2nd one by scoring high in the 1st) has some annoying features. If you go out of bounds, into the water or over par your turn on that hole is OVER. I don't care how bad I'm doing I'd actually like to finish the hole myself without the game deciding I'm done for me.

All in all this is a fun game, with a few non-critical annoyances. Kids and adults (I'm 41) will find it enjoyable and a challenge. It's well worth the price and a good addition to anyone's game collection.

big fun with my wife

This game beats 3 by a long shot. Why? Because of the awesome mini-golf game! I'm a huge mini-golf fan and the added bonus of a mini-golf course was truly excellent! I play that one more than the real game....The new characters are neat, the old ones are back. The voices do overlap a little and it can get annoying hearing them say the same thing over and over but that would be the only downfall to this game. If you're considering buying a golf game this is the one, it's also great for kids.

Amazing.......... 5 Stars

I played Hot Shots Golf 3 before this and was pretty impressed with it. When this came available I picked up a copy too. Overall I think the concept is great; it's allot of fun to play with the special effects and humorous characters, and the scenery is great. On the other hand, the playability leaves something to be desired.

I've heard several people argue that the "3" version was somewhat biased toward the computer players and made winning quite difficult for the human player. I'm not sure what to say about that but I will say that with "Fore" I've suspected that on more than one occasion the game became disproportionately difficult as I approached a victory.

Overall I give it 4 stars because I think the concept is fun and it's interesting gameplay. Does the game cheat? You decide. Either way it's pretty entertaining but not a five star offering.

Good Times!

I always have a ton of fun playing this game. The new additions since Hot Shots Golf 3 are fun and challenging. I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the Hot Shots Golf series.
