Hot Shots Golf 3

« I can't imagine the series, or video game golf for that matter, getting much better than this (of course it will). »

« This game is easier to play than a sorority co-ed. In fact, the gameplay is so basic you can handle it easily while half in the bag. »

« While Hot Shots 3 doesn’t revolutionize the series by any stretch of the imagination, it delivers sweet PS2 graphics and loads of slick refinements that make it another must-play game. »

« A fantastic game – get off your can and go get it before that fat guy across the street beats you to the store. [Apr 2002, p.72] »

« The single player is enough to warrant a buy, but the national tournaments and multi-player aspects make it one you just have to have in your game library. »

« It's so good that on a gorgeous, sunny 80-degree afternoon I found myself hitting the virtual links instead of the real thing – and I love real golf. »

« Everything works well together and Clap Hanz should be complimented by improving on an already successful formula. »

« The only real flaw I found with the gameplay is that the game seems fairly forgiving with mistakes. »

« The best golf game ever, and it’s not even that close. Not sure why this doesn’t have a higher score - it’s perfect in every way. I’m a big fan of the Tiger games (my favorite being ‘05), but this game is more true to golf. Love how you can pick this up and play it, but it takes more to become excellent. Learning how to craft your shots with the different, and always awesome, characters comes in handy for the different challenges within each course. It’s different than Tiger, and I feel it’s better. This version is also my favorite in the series - I feel like it’s fine-tuned perfectly. »

« A really fun golf game with cool characters and stages. Better option than Mario Golf imo. A decent Playstation title. »

« Such a great game and franchise that needs to get rebooted. Excellent for multiplayer moments. »

« This game is fun for a bit until you notice the glaring problems. Without any wind, it would say I am hitting 232 and I would hit full power and almost perfectly on and it would only go 209 yards and into the water below. The game does a terrible job [predicting how far your shot will go, in a game where feet matter. There is no excuse and no other reason why that should happen. Also even on the beginner courses the computer gets pars and birdies every time making it almost impossible to keep up. They should make the game more accessible and not make waste your time on 18 holes against perfect players starting out. Also even if you are just a tad off on the hit with the accuracy button it will go way short (doesn't even make sense with accuracy) or way off to the side. They can't expect you to be perfect and should penalize you as much for barely any error. »
