Swing Away Golf: another review

Hehe...now THIS is a fun game.

Although it is frustrating to slice the ball off into the woods every time I get to hole 6, it is wonderfully satisfying to get that "ching" "ching" sound that means you are going to rocket the ball several hundred yards down the fairway. The controls are not too complicated and actions make logical, intuitive sense. If the ball is going to drift that much to the left when you are putting, then you should aim that much to the right. If you are rolling uphill this much, then you need to swing this much harder.

Although the computer controlled characters are irritating (aren't they always?), they are not totally incompetent, nor are they impossible to beat. I come away from a game feeling appropriately challenged. This is probably why I have spent many hours on this game since it arrived the other day.
