All I can think of as I drag my putter through this unimaginative game is its unrealized potential.

I'm sure the designers of 3D Ultra Mini Golf considered those possibilities, but they unfortunately settled for something much more mundane. Where are the pyrotechnics? How about some real surprises? And, most important of all, where's the fun? That's not to say some of 3D Ultra Mini Golf's 18 holes aren't creative. Where else can you putt on a Moon Base, amongst dinosaurs, or underwater? But none of the holes offers anything that resembles excitement, and the feeble attempts at humor don't work. Multiple announcers with multiple accents explain each hole's objective with musical accompaniment. But a Jamaican accent and Reggae music for a hole set in an Aztec temple? Come on. On many holes, you tee-off with no idea where the hole is. Why not display a little bull's-eye? Most holes have hazards that go so far as to blow up, disintegrate, crush, or ground your ball into sawdust, but none of the animations is entertaining. The graphics are decent, but how about a drop shadow for the ball or a ball's eye view or tracking cameras? These are standards in golf games; why should mini golfers expect any less?
