"AJ has Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour!!!"

w00tage!

What a quality game. The hitting system is slightly different; A to start the swing, then A for topspin or B for backspin on the ball, and Z to swerve, with the C-stick doing the camera work. The controls are good, and certainly better than previous Mario Golf games.

The graphics are brilliant! Great backgrounds, detailed grass and the water effects are quality. The trees look nice as well. The landscape is just amazing. Characters look great too. The intro looks great, and it's comical as well.

The audio is much different than it has been in previous games. It's more 'bouncy' than before, and it's not as relaxing, but I suppose it keeps you on your game... or something. :-D The characters are all cool, and they sing songs before you pick them. Heheh.

Speaking of characters, there's the usual lot; Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, DK, Bowser, Peach and Daisy. But there's also new characters - Diddy, Boo, etc.

There's just so much to do. Tournaments, hit the ball through rings, speed golf, coin challenge, and about 4 other modes. And on top of that there's a great multiplayer. It's too fast for my liking though, speeding through shots. Ah well.



Ooh, and when I was getting the game, NGC were on the phone asking for a copy to be sent to them for review. Which means I've got the game before them, and therefore am better than them. Haha. And apparently, I'm one of the first people in Britain to get this game. So go me.

Sooooo, all of you, go and buy it now. Or import. Yeah, import it, seeing as there's no official release date for here (and it's rumoured January 2004). IMPORT!

Enough of the bragging, off to play Toadstool Tour. w00tage! :-D

I love this game!!! However i'm not sure i like the 'Auto' swing. You only need to press A once and if you do full power (which isn't hard to do) you hit 'Nice Shots' all the time, a disadvantage is the game is a little too easy but an advantage is that everyone who plays it will get good at the game very quickly, so this means in multiplayer mode there is never a quick victory, me and my dad were drawing right until the end (and it was my dad's first go) and it adds alot of competiton, Brilliant. :)

*Orders Mario Golf*

To be perfectly honest, I would never consider Tiger Woods over Mario Golf, simply because its too damn realistic about such an awful real sport. Mario Golf on the other hand, is fun.

Then again, so TW2003 might be.

I've played the N64 version, there's very little changed. You can only do a certain amount of different things with a coupld of button presses.

It's all opinion, but it's still a dated system that they should have changed, or at least included analog swing as an alternative.

You don't know until you've tried though.

Yup I do, because button pressing systems in golf games went out with the N64.

I can't believe they haven't had the brains to use an analog system.

He says, having never played it.

I'll stick with Tiger Woods.

The swinging system on Mario Golf is a load of bollards.

But its £30 cheaper from EBay and it will be delivered quicker. Next time I won't bother saying anything and I will let you waste your precious little money.
