Well we finally got our hands on a golf game for the PS3 but it wasn’t Tiger Woods 08 it was Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds.  With all the updates to the PSN store and all the buzz about this game I figured it was work a try to check it out.  So Laura and I fired up the PS3 and put this game in.  I kinda knew what I was in for graphic wise but not so much game play wise.

My assessment of the game is that it is a dumbed down version of Tiger Woods.  After 18 holes that was a very good conclusion.  No more having to worry about flop shots or what angle to hit the ball at it’s basically a hit X to start swing hit X to stop and hit the ball.  As you are playing the other play can press and button on the controller and either shout confidence boosting comments or make the crowed boo and make fun of you.  We found this basically to be an annoying feature but something very addictive to do while waiting for your turn.

When it came to putting the game really gets simple compared with Tiger Woods and is a synch to master.  Once you figure out the power bar and how to use it the game is pretty easy.  Obviously this game is made for a younger generation of gamers.  Which is just fine, but nothing that interested me.

So in conclusion we were not impressed and only played 18 holes and returned the game back to Gamefly this week.  Still waiting on Tiger Woods 2008 as we are a little partial to that game, and we like being able to create our own players with their own looks and play actual golf courses with a little bit of challenge.
