User Rating: 9.3 | Mario Golf N64

Today there are a pretty good selection of Mario sports games that all tone down the intense competativeness of thier sport a bit, and trade it with a little humor. Mario golf was one of the first real success of these large group of games, and now has a sequal available for the GC. The gameplay in the N64 version is pretty fun, and is easy to get the hang of, but hard to master. The only control problem in the game really is the putting, which is a problem in almost every golf game to date. It is just hard to tell how fast the green will really roll, as it always seem to be changing. There are also quite a few modes to play. You can enter in tournaments, which is the primary option and objective to the game. However the final tournament is exceptionaly hard to win. The other modes are all great to, you can practice, play one of two mini put courses, go to the driving range, play some traditional golf, and even challenge a new character to earn the ability to use them. Unlocking a new character, along with winning a new tournament for the first time, are what feel like the biggest accomplishments in the game. There are no real flaws in the game, and it is always there with great replay value. But perhaps the most unique aspect of the game is the couse designs. Almost no holes resemble what you would see on a real life course, as many holes resemble video game characters or are just insanely unrealistic, which is good. In the end this is a very fun, addictive game and is one of those would be a cheap grab that you could still enjoy for a while to come. Great game here, enjoy.
