Product Description
Publisher Eidos Is Laboring Mightily To Give Swingerz Golf A Rough-hewn Patina Even Plastering The Box With A Pic Of An Unkempt Biker. But The Game Is Actually One Of Those Sweet-natured Offerings From Japan Right Down To The Relentlessly Chirpy Music And The Sweet Nanny Whos One Of The Caddies.its Easy To Confuse This Game With The Decidedly Rowdy Outlaw Golf -- But Dont. Swingerz Golf Is A Candy-colored Confection In Which Big-eyed Manga-style Golfers Hang Their Head In Shame After Bogeying. And You Can Expect Plenty Of Bogeys Especially When Youre Starting Out. While The Cute Trappings Murmur "arcade" The Precision Controls Shout "simulation." swinging With Swingerz you Swing By Pulling Back And Thrusting Forward The C-stick. The Double Trick Here Is To Begin Your Forward Motion At The Right Time -- A Yellow Flag On Your Swing-meter Indicates Just When You Should Begin. But You Must Also Push Forward Straight And Fast. Wobble Left Or Right And Youll Be Way Off Target And If You Push Too Slowly Youll Hit The Ball With All The Authority Of A Calista Flockhart Pile-driver. all 14 Characters Six Courses And Gear Are Fictional. Right From The Beginning Swingerz Golf Requires You To Work Hard -- Only Two Characters Two Courses And Two Sets Of Clubs Are Unlocked. The Six Caddies Dispense Pretty Good Advice Especially When It Comes To Reading Greens. It Would Be Great If They Also Explained Controls Which Take Lots Of Time To Figure Out. Read Your Manual. modes swingerz Golf Has All The Modes Typical Of A Golf Game: tour Mode stroke Play (multiplayer Mode) match Play (essentially A Skins Game) tutorial (not Very Helpful) party Games And One-player Challenges Like Near The Pin the Courses Are Very Pretty And Well-laid Out.

Outstanding game! This is the kind of game that makes video golf fun. If you are looking for a golfing game that goes deep into the physics of golf, where the slightest error in judgement or timing sends your ball into the bottom of a lake, this is not for you. Lots of cool characters with their own attributes, make the game fun and easy to control. Although I wouldn't really trust the caddies advice. The memorable moments feature is nice too. Your best shots are saved so you can review them later. Lots of fun, with a lot of frustration as well. Nothing worse than missing an eagle by an inch. Highly recommend.

Head FORE the links in this outrageously hilarious game. While it takes a while for players to under stand and get used to shots, this games comedy levels for kids are awsome, "NO WAY!" says Yoshiki Kitamura (Yo-She-Key Key-Tah-Moo-Rah)when he makes a bad score, or Yuka when she repeatedly says "Here goes nothing!"
Fun golf game November 30, 2002

I like this game. While not the most serious golf game it is very challenging without being impossible. The graphics are nice and it is quick. By that I mean it doesn't take time to load between each hole. You can play a round in 15 to 20 minutes. I have also played Outlaw Golf and I find that Swingerz is much faster and the options it gives you to view your upcoming shot are better. While it doesn't give you the option to beat up your caddie like Outlaw, I still liked it better because beating up your caddie is not what I was looking for. I was looking for a golf game that was quick and easy to pick up. This is a game that will be appropriate for kids and fun for adults too. By the way, I am in my late 20's.
 worst golf ever November 13, 2002

I have played every golf game on the market, and I would just like you to know that this is simply put the worst game that has been my misfortune of purchasing. I strongly beleave that the creaters of this game have never played golf or seen a video golf game in thier lives. It has made me strongly rethink my purchase of your game cube, because if this is going to be the quality of your games then I'm not sure that I want anything to do with them. This game has been a total waste of money and I will tell everyone I know not to buy it.
Best Golf Game September 20, 2002

This is definetely the best golf game, and it is exclusively for GameCube. This game is sort of a mixture of Outlaw Golf and Mario Golf. These are both great games. The graphics are crisp, the controlls are great. When this game comes out, GET IT!!
