Sneak preview! Game available on 12/7/2007 Click images to enlarge
I can already tell that this is a game I'm going to come back to over and over again. Not only does it offer the same addictive qualities as it's online counterpart, but with the added "perks" for this full version, I'm just intrigued!
Check the bottom of this post for all the screenshots I took during gameplay, because they really do all the "walk through" for me.
Graphics
As an art major, one of my favorite generes has always been cartoon style art. It's not as easy as you would think! LOL The cartoon art flavor of this game is taken a step beyond the normal in it's rich, crips presentation. Even the cursor is animated to keep things interesting. The graphics are cute, rich, and well done, but not SO much so that it effects the speed of my computer, even while I run several other programs. This is always a good thing!
Gameplay
The announcer, fanfare, and other sound effects are amusing, but not irritating. The in game tips are many, and there are also reminders of tips already given... but not so much that they annoy you, or disturb your game 'groove'. Challenges abound, making it really easy to become determined to do better next round, just to see what kind of surprises may await you.
Transitions from screen to screen are smooth, and navigation through the levels is pretty cut and dry... no wondering what to do next in this one! As you progress, you unlock new, more challenging "courses" to play.
Trophies are earned for milestones acheived, and the money you earn can be spent in the Golf shop. We all know golfers enjoy their own fashion rules! LOL
Overall, a very entertaining game that combines our love for a classic solitaire game with a taste of the golf course. This game should definately come with a warning... it is terribly addictive! I quit and saved my game after the 5th hole I played just so I could buy it before my time ran out... I didn't want to lose any progress! LOL
As you can see, the clothes you buy in the Golf Shop not only look snazzy, but they entitle you to special gameplay beni's which makes it much more imperitive to shop!
(As if we need a reason to shop, ever! LOL)
More screenshots in next post!
Not a shocker, really! LOL Since your progress through the course is gauged by your winning $$ amounts, this is really risky!
