Product Description

P.T.O. II
If you’ve read most of my video game reviews, I usually skew on the positive side of things.
This will definitely be one of the exceptions.
I enjoyed playing this game a LONG time ago back when it was new, but age has not done it any favors.
For starters, what looked good when this game released looks downright ancient by today’s standards. The polygons are VERY obvious and the feeling of realism just isn’t there.
Secondly, unlike most SNES golf games which give you a top/down view, this gives you more like a diagonal view of where your ball would end up if you hit it perfectly, which makes aiming and adjusting a real pain in the rear.
Things only get worse after you actually hit the ball. Why do I need to see like 4-5 screens to watch my ball come to rest? Others (Hal Hole in One Golf and IREM Skins Game come to mind) don’t have these kinds of issues.
If you actually get on the putting green, a graph overlay will appear to tell you what your putt will do, and then it disappears. While this was likely done to give you a more realistic experience, you’re all the more likely to be sending your controller into the floor after missing putt after putt.
And your caddy? Doesn’t really matter who you select, as saying “keep your head in it, you can still make bogey!” doesn’t exactly provide much help on actually PLAYING the game.
Did I mention sometimes you’ll see a golfing figure appear and other times you won’t when you hit a shot?
If you REALLY want a game that covers Waialae Country Club and you are a really patient golfer who doesn’t mind taking 2-3 minutes for EACH SHOT, then you are really the only one I can recommend this to.
Otherwise, run the heck the other way as fast as you can. It isn’t even worth $5.
