Synopsis

Synopsis
You may be a maverick on your local golf course — but how will you stack up against the global competition when the action of the course appears at your fingertips in an all-new way? Test the wind, assess the hills and valleys and keep your eye on the flag — the triumphs and defeats of the fairway are more realistic than ever as the wildest, most thrilling golfing franchise sinks into the innovative, touch-controlled PlayStation Vita for the first time. Faced with tons of players on the course, environmental obstacles and a swinging system that picks up your every talent — and flaw — can you prove yourself to be a true Hot Shot?

Tee up for nonstop competition against friends and bitter rivals in Hot Shots Golf — the one golf club that never closes. Drawing you deeper than ever into the social climate of the green, Hot Shots keeps you connected to your fellow swingers 24/7 with opportunities for both synchronous and asynchronous competitions any time of the day or night. Sometimes you like to be on the course solo, but in LiveArea, more is the merrier, as you gather up to 50 players on one hole for the most outlandish golf round you've ever seen. As you aim for the top of the leaderboards, take advantage of the PlayStation Vita's cutting-edge controls to lower your score. The right planning can make the difference between an extra stroke from the rough and a game-winning putt on the green. Prepare for the hole ahead by tapping into the unique front and back touch panel controls to get the low-down on the upcoming challenges. When you tee up, be sure that you swing with care, as the new shot system with evolved swing mechanics accurately translates your hit, slice or duff for a realistic result on the fairway.

Features

  • Perfect your swing for a round of over-the-top golf like you've never experienced before as the wacky golf franchise hits the PlayStation Vita (system not included)
  • Drive, pitch and putt your way from the tee to the green with more precision than ever before thanks to the PlayStation Vita-specific functions and innovative controls
  • Tap into the unique front and back touch panel controls to access all the information you need to prepare for the next shot
  • Experience the joy or despair of each swing as every hit, slice or duff is accurately and realistically translated to the screen thanks to the new shot system with evolved swing mechanics
  • Recruit up to 50 players to join the competition on one hole using LiveArea, and enjoy the wildest round of golf yet
  • Swing your way to the top of the charts and keep an eye on your friends' scores as you connect to the online leaderboards

A Fun Game Gets "Funner"

Posted by: from USA on 12/06/2012Yes, it's Hot Shots back in beautiful resolution. If you have played this in earlier versions, you are sure to enjoy this upgrade. Hot Shots Golf is noted for one thing and only one thing - it is FUN! It is a light, easy to learn game, which will make you smile. Golf was never so crisp, clear, and fluid on the PSP, so thank you for the PSVITA version. If you are looking for an easy-going light-hearted golf simulation, where wind, terrain, elevation, and swing accuracy do matter, you will enjoy this game. It is a must for any PSVITA owner's library.

Good Old Classic Hot Shots
4
Posted by: from Frankfort, IL on 03/09/2012The only reason I'm not giving it a five star is because there really isn't too much different from past Hot Shots games. But since I've loved the series since the first one on PSone, I have to give this a 4 star. Very easy to just pick up and play and I'm also seeing a few new things (though nothing game changing) each time I play. Online is a blast too because each shot can be a huge difference on where you end up on the leaderboard.

Fun Game
4
Posted by: from Ypsilanti, MI on 03/06/2012I really like this game, it takes more of an arcade approach than simulation; no need to be hyper accurate or spend hours honing your skills with this title. There are plenty of unlockable items that range from different costumes, to new clubs and balls; you can even customize the figure on the desk that you see on the introduction screen. One of the only drawbacks I have is in the circumstance that your ball ends up on the low end of a hill, there is no way to adjust the angle in which you hit the ball; this can make for an impossible angle in which the ball will just keep bouncing off the hill and rolling back. The only way around this is to shoot backwards, or to another angle before then going towards the green again. The AI is decent, a few occasions where they seem to catch up a little to fast, or drift behind, but not a major issue.
