Speedy Golf

10/10 game. great to play with the boys.

its fun

Speedy Golf is a great blend of golf and racing. The mechanics of the game are easy to learn, yet difficult to master. Abilities provided by unlockable hats and from power-ups add strategy, and ability points allow for golfer improvement, all in pursuit of getting around a golf course as quickly as possible. The single player career on this game provides plenty of challenges. For each of the 9 courses featured in the career (there are a total of 10 courses in the game at the time of writing this review), there are 14 varied objectives to beat to master the level, as well as rival match-ups and tournaments to win. From scoring targets to time targets, and other unique objectives like chipping in or scoring an eagle or two, this game mode has plenty to challenge the completionist in you. There is also a multiplayer career called Leap Frog. In Leap Frog you play alternate shot with a friend or AI, which is a whole new experience. Unfortunately the AI is not fantastic, your experience would be markedly better with another player, but this does not detract from the game as a whole. On to the multiplayer, this is where the game has real potential. There are several modes to play with friends; match-play, leap frog, cart mode, and a custom option to set up the game just the way you want to. Speedy Golf supports up to 4 player split screen or up to 8 players online. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this game, and encourage others to give it a try.

Cool game! I love the concept and execution. We played the game at an event with 8 players using 2 PCs and it worked without crashes. After explaining how the swinging mechanic worked I let them learn by playing and I gave them some tips along the way, like how to find the ball with the Y button, etc. When everyone was comfortable with how the game was played I switched to Leapfrog mode and we had a tournament in teams of 2 on a new map. To quote one of the players after the tournament: "This was really fun!" Some minor nitpicks: * With 8 players in leapfrog I had to change the team colors on the second PC. It was a bit tricky to do this but I eventually figured it out. It would be good if it was more intuitive to switch teams or even better if the game automatically divided all of the players into teams, even for 8 players. Seems to only do this for up to 4 players.

It's a fun idea but a pretty terrible golf game. I wasn't expecting much, but the golf gameplay is unbearable. Even if it were free, I would not recommend.

pretty fun game. its kinda like that new nintendo golf game on switch :).
