Jennifer Plank Said: Best Mini Golf Game for Wii ( Nov. 10th 2009 )

My best friend enjoys playing mini golf games, me not so much. We have purchased or rented several other golf games out there for the wii and have only been disappointed. The controls were either tricky or the game itself seemed like we were playing golf and not mini golf. Well this one was perfect. The settings of the games were excellent, it felt like we were on a mini golf course, and each one was unique and very well crafted. The controls too felt like we were really golfing. The cheap price tag on this game helped it out too. Out of all the golf games we have tried this one hands down offers the best bang for your buck.

Wanda Martin Said: not as good as I had hoped ( Oct. 21st 2009 )

I had really high expectations for this game. Other golf games make great use of the Wii's controller. This one, to me, wasn't realistic at all. You pull the controller back and then release a button. It it more like a slingshot than a golf club. Courses are interesting, with mini-games thrown in each hole. Pretty limited as far as use of the controller though. Felt it was more like a game meant for another system than a Wii game. Concept is great. Hope somebody else will do it right.

Candle Lady Said: Ehhhh ( Sep. 12th 2009 )

Not really a true mini golf game.... sometimes you have to guess about which hole because the right one changes (for example, in the dinosaur game). Too much activity by the mii, find myself waiting for their animation to stop so I can continue. Not really what I anticipated. Kind of boring.

Bookaholic Said: Impossible ( Aug. 7th 2009 )

The first time my children ages 11 and 15 played this game, they hated. They wanted me to sell it. My daughter wont even play it again. The first time I played it, I wasnt so happy with it myself. My son played much better the second time he played. There are 9 different themes with three holes each. There are easy, medium and hard themes. There are three types of holes and each theme course has one of each. Adventure hole, fairly easy with the possibility that you get to play a mini game. challenge hole, and trick shot most of which just seem to be pure luck if you can actually get it. One particular hole the hole moves from shot to shot so you have no way of guessing where it will be next. The game can be fun, but can also be very frustrating. I recommend this game for avid mini golfers who want a challenge. If you are looking for a relaxing, but slightly challenging course, look for something else. We like the mini golf on Summer Games, Paradise Island. However, there is only one course so we wanted some variety.

Jeffrey B. Sprague Said: wacy golf game ( Jul. 6th 2009 )

I liked this better than the carnaval games package , I only gave it 4 stars cause the animated avatars don't do a whole lot , one avatar falls down all the time and another sings and dances , so there is a lot of repetitive player animations. Overall a Fun game of golf and the courses are cleverly challenging .
