This game rules. PERIOD! The gameplay is the best out there. All the characters are great, especially Scrummy and Suave. They cracked me up. The controls take some getting used to. But even a child can do it. (Not that kids should play this) This game is definately made for adults with twisted senses of humor. Go out and buy it... See for yourself.

Good for the serious golfer and the duffer!

This is a great little game of golf and the graphics are amazing. I swear you can see the blades of grass on some of the flybyes. The swing control is great and innovative and the courses are rendered pretty well. Putting seems to be rather difficult to figure out at as sometimes the power-bar is rather mis-leading. In any event, just make sure your kids aren't around when you play this one.

Must Have

This game is awesome and i hate golf!! I think the fighting adds to it!! Plus the one-liners. This games is a must own for the xbox, just for the replay value. It will not be one of those games you beat then leave, it is also very hard to beat, I have yet to do so. Includes: unlocking many characters, mini games and challenges, several golf courses, nice graphics. Sometimes is frustrating, after awhile you get the hang of it and how to measure the shots.

Strange to title. Realistic, yet somewhat not...

Golf comes in many flavors. You've got real golf, which involves a whole lot of walking and a little bit of hitting a ball past some trees or over water. Then you've got Mario Golf, which is much the same but involves giant apes and dinosaurs, though no Tigers, which can only be found on the pro circuit. Rounding out the pack, you can even have mildly silly golf, such as Hot Shots Golf's large-headed and exaggerated characters. Yes, video gamers know that golf comes in a lot of flavors, but most of them have just been variations on vanilla. By comparison, Simon and Schuster's new Outlaw Golf is a dark chocolate ripple with butterscotch, nuts and some sort of unidentifiable crunchy candy mixed into the works.

The premise behind Outlaw Golf is simple: the least likely collection of courses and golfers have been drawn together for your putting pleasure, with the end result being a send up of the sport's normally high-class veneer. Take the first character in the roster, for instance, a charming belle named Harley. Raised with a wrench in one hand and a club in the other, Harley's skills at bike repair, beer swilling, bar room brawling and chip shots are just about equal. Of course, she doesn't travel alone, and her hard-living, van-dwelling husband Snake accompanies her to every event as a caddy. Also available as playable characters are El Suave and El Ramone, the only duo on the links who can pose at all times during a golf swing, Mistress Suki and her consensual servant Puddin', and the wannabe rapper Ice Trey complete with his caddy, Fresh Fruit. Ranging from serial killers let loose on a technicality to Scummy O'Doole, the famed scottish soccer hooligan, you can find virtually every misfit and malcontent you never thought would appear on a golf course happily ignoring their divots in Outlaw Golf.

As might be expected with such a motley crew, decorum on the course goes out the window and a level head is a rare thing. To represent this temperamental nature, Outlaw Golf uses a fairly unique composure meter. Similar to various systems that measure a team's momentum in other sports titles, your composure represents how into the game your golfer is. With high composure, their head is together and they are playing inside the zone. At the other end of the spectrum, fuming tempers and rushed shots worsen their play. This, of course, translates directly into a game mechanic, and your golfer's skills will be dynamically affected by how they're composing themselves.
Since poor play breeds poor composure and vice-versa, you tend to go on hot or cold streaks as you play through the links. If you manage to drive every shot off the tee at full power and avoid any bunkers or the deep rough, you'll slowly end up in this zen-like place. Once there, your shots will drop straight into the pocket, your distances will adjust themselves even if you fudge the controls a bit and the wind will be less of a factor. With low composure, though, perfectly executed shots will be moderately successful, while any mistake on the player's part will be heavily penalized.

Of course, there's an easy way to get your composure back. You simply have to take out your frustration somewhere and relax a bit. Luckily for these hotheaded players, their caddies are not only nearby at all times, but also weighted down with golf clubs, making them easy to catch. These relaxation sessions are more accurately described by Outlaw Golf as "beatings," and you can elect to administer one so long as you have a beating token. You begin with only one of these precious disks, but well played holes will award you with more for future use. In order to execute this thrashing, you need to follow the tried and true golf-game practice of clicking at the right place as an indicator moves back and forth across a target bar. With proper timing and good reflexes you can use this bit of corporal punishment to take your golfer's mood all the way from outraged to enthusiastic. As might be expected, each duo's routines vary during these beatings, with Madame Suki's whippings carrying an entirely different tone from Summer and Autumn, two Ph.D students who moonlight as exotic dancers and who get into a wholesale cat fight complete with hair pulling and slaps.

For all its lurid pageantry, Outlaw Golf is still about properly playing the links. Mechanically, the gameplay is similar to the new wave of golf titles.Overall Thoughts: Outlaw Golf is the only take on the noble sport of golfing to date that features characters as sexy as its visuals. Throwing the decorum of golf into the nearest water hazard, this cast of misfits ranges from bikers to a dominatrix. Similarly, the courses feature such exotic locations as the grassy fields under Jersey turnpikes and country clubs that have barely broached the cultural advances of the 19th century, let alone our own modern age. These stunning visuals and strong characters are complimented by an equally hardy golfing game that blends intuitive controls with a unique composure bar that represents your character's current state of mind. You can even release some tension by beating the living daylights out of your caddy, making this the first full-contact golf title ever. Hitting stores this May, Outlaw Golf looks set to make a clean get-a-way with more than a few gamers' bankrolls when it hits store shelves.

Features:

1. Photo realistic golfing environments, complete with transformer stations, turnpikes and trailer parks.
2. A motley crew of characters ranging from bikers to ex-convicts.
3. The first full body contact golfing game, allowing you to beat up your caddy to relax.
4. An emotion system that adjusts your player's performance based on their mood.
5. Driving ranges, exhibition matches, tournaments and more.
6. Up to four simultaneous players.
7. Hilarious voice overs, characters and announcers.

A fun and challenging golf game

This game wouldn't be the same if it had been done any other way. As a golf game, it is challenging and fun, with a number of interesting holes and challenges (the mini-games which help you improve the skills of your golfer).

As an adult, this game also provides a second component of fun humor and the ability to beat the snot out of your caddie to improve your character's mood. Perhaps the only downside of the game is the few animations and catch phrases for each player. (Of course you'll notice this too, since you'll be playing this game a lot!) But, to it's credit, the announcer has quite a few catchy sayings, some of which might follow you out on the course, if you're a real golfer -they're that much fun to say.

If you really want your games to make a statement, this golf game says "Hey, I'm fun and I'm an excellent golf game too!" So try it. You'll be glad you did.

One of the best!

This game is incredible. I bought it first for the novelty, I keep playing it because of the entertainment value.
This game combines the game play of Golden Tee with the graphics of the best console games you've ever played all wrapped up in an adult-humor package.

I recommend it to anyone 18 and over.

Finally Something Different than Tiger Woods Golf
