みんなのゴルフ Hot Shots Golf OpenTee
Where Mario Golf did not deliver my urge for fast, arcadey handheld golf, the PSP was able to step up and deliver with Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee, or as it's called in Japanese みんなのゴルフ. That actually means "Everyone's Golf," so obviously not a direct translation. Names aside, you simply spend 30 seconds creating a profile, then choosing your character, game type, and course, then you're in. Bam. Easy as that.
After the initial feeling out process, it's surprisingly easy to get into. It borrows a lot from other cartoony golf games such as the aforementioned Mario Golf series, though I can't point fingers for unoriginality because I'm not sure which series came first. Meh.
There's an online mode which would probably be cool if these PSP versions weren't like 5 years old and still had players. As it stands, there's the potential to play against people all over the world, but I'm unfortunately late to that party on this one.
After playing having success in a few tournaments and matches, new courses and characters can be unlocked. While this is cool, I do feel the options available right away are a bit limited, as one only has 2 characters and like 4 courses to choose from. That's on the low end for sure, but eh, I was looking for a quick handheld sports fix and had golf on my brain; Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 scratches that itch quite well. I've played quite a bit, especially on trains. I'll definitely be doing so for a while.
Score: 4/5
