"Wait, Tiger who!?..."
Realism or Fun? Everybodys Golf is most certainly the latter, and indefinitely proves that the latter is the best choice. Tiger has been going on for so long now, it has become boring and stale. Sure EG has been around for a while too, but this edition is without a doubt alot better and more fun than the current Tiger game.
The main game mode of World Tour is Challenge Mode, in which you start of picking between 2 novice golfers Nick or Jasmine, and proceed to work your way though the challenges set then defeat the opponent at the end of completing a certain number of said challenges, thus unlocking them and moving up to the next level, eventually unlocking Intermediate and Expert golfers, more clubs, balls, items of clothing and clubcards for more courses.
Everybodys Golf is one of those games that are easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master. The introduction of the new Advanced Swing mechanic is a welcome touch, but dosen't really add that much in terms of depth of gameplay.
Graphics are solid throughout, courses look great and the characters all have their own flair about them.
Where this game really shines though, is online. Playing a round of golf online with friends and others from around the world is terrific fun. Just log in, choose a themed lobby, sign up for a friendly game with 8 golfers, or if you're feeling up to it, signed up to a real time tournament with up to 50 golfers from around the world, with the chance to win prizes and more items for your online avatar. Sometimes just hanging out in the lobbies, chatting and exploring can be just as fun as the gameplay itself!
Everybodys Golf : World Tour is a non-stop fun packed round of golf. With crazy caddies and goofy golfers it's bound to score a hole in one with any golf fan!
