Everybody's Golf

Hot Shots Golf Next Review

It might sound a bit obvious, but Everybody's Golf really is for everybody. A cute art style and selection of fictional courses presents this Vita launch title as a casual game of golf, yet the swing mechanics and physics lend themselves well to more experienced players. While there's nothing here that makes this edition of the long-running series stand out above its previous entries, the snappy gameplay, decent multiplayer options and plenty of unlockables make this a thoroughly recommended purchase.Compared to the complexities of the Tiger Woods series, Everybody's Golf seems quite quaint. A customisable lobby screen (mine is currently home to a squat man complete with terrible mullet and moustache) presents you with single or multiplayer game modes, each housing a number of additional choices.Played alone you can opt to take part in standard match or stroke play rounds against the AI or enter into a series of tiered challenges. The Challenge mode is the real heart of the single-player experience, with 9 and 18 hole events tasking you with finishing at the top of the leaderboard in order to earn a star - win enough stars and you'll unlock a vs. match play challenge against one of a number of unlikely looking golf pros.
