One of Sony's oldest and still kicking PlayStation franchises revolves not around action, role playing or even racing, but rather golf. Hot Shots Golf first debuted in the US on the PlayStation in mid-1998, and its follow-up hit shelves roughly two years later. Hot Shots Golf 2 is now available for download via the PSP through the PlayStation Store, and though the game is nearly seven years and two generations of consoles old, it still holds up pretty well.
The game uses the rather standard three-click swing interface. That is, you press X once to start the meter, a second time to set the power and a third to set accuracy. It's an arcadey system to be sure, especially when compared to the analog swing mechanics that many of today's golf games employ, but it still works quite well. The meter itself is drawn rather thin and the hot spot areas are tiny, which isn't helped much by the PSP's relatively small screen, so nailing a perfect shot will take a decent bit of practice. At the same time though, the game is forgiving enough that so long as you come close to hitting straight, you won't be too far off.
Aside from the swing mechanic, you're able to check your swing on the ball, zoom in and out of the hole, aim your shot and, of course, change your currently selected club. All of this works rather well, with the camera zoom functions set to the Triangle and Circle buttons. It would have been nice to see an option to jump right out to the landing spot without having to zoom or the ability to reset your aiming once you start adjusting, but both are overcome without much problem.
Hot Shots Golf 2 has stood the test of time really well. It may not have the greatest physics engine around, but it's fast, charismatic and, most importantly, fun. There are better golf experiences on the system, but for the low price of a PlayStation Store download, you'd be hard-pressed to beat the value.
A retro golf game for PSP with arcadey swing mechanics and basic physics. Read the review to find out the pros and cons of this old but fun title.
