Discount Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2 Store

This is a difficult review for me to write, not because the game is complicated, but because I have never seen a sequel to a game that is so close to the original in just about every detail. I played the original on PSP for hundreds of hours and could not put it down, in fact I've been playing HSG since PS One.

For those that haven't played it, it's a simple to learn, fun to master golf game that doesn't take the game too seriously, yet can be very challenging at times. There are 12 courses in this one, up from 6 in the first, and they grow increasingly more difficult as you progress through various "challenges" (tournaments), earning new clothes, gear and players along the way. The controls are very simple, as not a lot of adjustments can be made to pull off unusual shots, but there are enough options to satisfy experienced golfers.

The graphics are bright, clean and colorful, the music is peppy (almost to a fault) and overall the production is flawless... Read more

I owned the original Hotshots for PSP and thought it was fun. I bought this game yesterday and have played quite a few rounds already. If you liked the oringinal Hotshots on PSP you will like this game. It is more of the same with some extra options and tweaks. One of the best options is the ability to play with others via wi-fi. This lets you play with others from all over the country. Very cool option. Other than that the additional tweaks are just minor and the game keeps with the easy to play style of the Hotshots series. You can win new items for your golfer and get new balls and clubs, etc. Some of the items are goofy as you would expect from Hotshots, things like boxing gloves for you golfer and a little cadillac you sit in. For the price I think this is a worthwhile purchase. It is easier to play than Tiger Woods on PSP and thus is easier for non-gamers to play as well. If you are unsure about this title download the demo which has three holes. I downloaded the... Read more

I played Hot Shot Golf 1, which is the first HSG for PSP, for hours. It was one of my favorite games and when Hot Shot Golf 2 came out, I was ecstatic! After playing this game for 40+ hours (not consecutively!), I give it 5 stars! Here's why:

Yes, HSG2 has many of the same items as HSG1 and it even includes many of the same golf courses. But don't worry, there's new golf courses to explore and even new pretty video sequences at the end after it saves your game. I also found the game to be way more refined than HSG1. I was glad that they finally fixed the way leveling power and spin to apply to all the characters you end up earning. In the previous HSG1, it only applied to the character you were playing at the time.

I also enjoyed the "presents" feature. When you're playing in Challenge Mode, sometimes you'll see a little sparkle on the course...zoom in and ta-da, it's a present! Or it's a character from HSG1 who wants to be your friend! I think it's a fun... Read more
