Wii Sports’ Golf

Posted January 12, 2008 at 11:53 pm by Jim in Deals, Games, Reviews

I have, as of late, found myself very much addicted to Wii Sports‘ Golf.  I have driven my score well above “pro” status, and it’s a ton of fun every time I start playing.  The basic gist of Wii Sports Golf is nothing terribly fancy - either a 3-tier, 3-hole challenge that places you on 3 holes of the course based on their difficulty level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), or a 9-hole game.  Controls for Wii Sports Golf are pretty basic, and I have found that they actually work more efficiently and consistently if you swing the remote like you would a golf club.  I have had some difficulties with putting, which seems to be the most complicated bit of Wii Sports Golf - the velocity and angle in which you swing the putter seem to be a bit of a challenge from time to time.  However, this gets better with each game, and I’ve been hitting in lots of 30 to 50 foot puts lately!

There is an accessory if you so choose to purchase it - a little golf club head extension for your remote.  It’s cute.  The best value seems to be to purchase Intec’s Wii Ultimate Action Pack - it comes with a baseball bat extension, a tennis racket extension, a little sword extension, and the golf club - all for under 20 bucks.  Check it out.
