| Features:
| • | The new shot system offers a high risk to reward ratio and gives players the ability to hit the ball farther and straighter, but also penalizes more on mistimed shots. | | • | Customize a tournament and square off with up to 50 of your closest friends, or swing into the lobby and interact with others while customizing your personal avatar with more than 300 options. | | • | Select one of 15 different playable characters all with their own distinct look, attributes and quirky characteristics. Six entertaining caddies wait to guide you through the open fairways and the tenacious rough. | | • | Larger playable environments let you play your errant tee shot from a neighboring hole, or if it makes sense take aim at a different fairway and use it as a shortcut. | | • | In between rounds, head to the PlayStation Store to download exciting content including characters, courses, clubs, clothing and other golf swag. |

 Fun, pretty, but lacking in content May 20, 2008
I am a long time fan of this series, and this game keeps the same solid gameplay and adds some very pretty graphics. Also, they have added a new shot system, which took a few minutes to get used to but I now prefer. Keep in mind that if your'e used to these games the old system is exactly the same and is always an option (except for a few tournaments that require the new). Also, the online mode is great. You can enter scheduled tournaments, which have a time limit per hole but you dont see any other players, or more normal 8 player games with friends or random people. This adds alot of depth to the game, but people online are really good, so be warned that you will not do well at first.
However, there are only 6 courses and 15 golfers. They just started selling new golfers on the playstation network, and I am sure extra purchased content is the name of the game in this title's future. Its fun, but I am only giving it 3 stars because of the lack of content and having to buy more future content to get the same number of courses as previous titles, even on the psp!
 Fun Golf May 17, 2008
Hot Shots golf games has always been a fun casual take on the game. With cartoonish Anime inspired looks, but don't be put off by all of this the game is actually quite close to what golf is, concentration and timing, then throwing a fit when you ruin a shot, especially with the new advanced shot which is a very nice addition.
Using the advance shot you don't have the usual gauges, you will have to time and judge how much swing you need. Takes time to get used to, but easy to adopt.
Downloadable content is expected; new characters are already posted on PSN, with holes and courses sure to follow.
The multiplayer is good fun, especially the "take turns type". You could be a good sport or jump up and down and walk around in front of whoever is taking his shot. (Disclaimer: I by no means endorse such actions, and shall not be liable for their actions)
Over all I would recommend this game for any one who wishes to have fun with friends and family, make sure to get an additional controller.

Delaystation 3 owners have put up with a lot. Fortunately Sony delivers big time with this installment of Hot Shots Golf. The courses are beautiful (six of them) and increase in challenge nicely. An element that really comes into play is peaks and valleys on the harder courses, requiring extra decision making to account for a drop or rise from your current lie to the green. It really adds depth but doesn't make the game too complicated. Wildlife abounds on all courses and it's funny to see animals scatter as the ball comes flying in. I found special shots easier to make in general (spin shots). You'll want to shut off the gallery noise which gets repetitive and annoying almost immediately, but the music is fiittingly soothing. Hopefully the Playstation Store will offer more courses to buy since that's the only gripe I could make. The new characters are very entertaining and enjoyable to use, as are most of the caddys. This is lots of fun, easy to pick up and tough to master. Highly recommended.

You'll have hours of fun with this game. It is pretty long and the Adv shot which is new to Golf games has quite a learning curve, specifically on the green. Overall great game to kill some hours after playing some FPS
