Golf: Tee It Up!

(untitled review)

Golf: Tee It Up! is one of the few Xbox Live arcade games which will surprise you. As soon as I played the trial, I was instantly hooked. This game will attract to a wide audience of gamers; Players of casual games will fall in love with the simplicity of this game, players of arcade games will find the different game modes addicting and even those of you who just love sports games in general will find a reason to play.

This game features 2 eye-pleasing courses which vary in difficulty. These 2 courses can be played in both single player and multiplayer modes. With each game you play, you can select to compete for the front 9, back 9, random, or all 18 holes.

What impressed me most about this game is the level of fun you will achieve while playing multiplayer, either locally or on Xbox Live. This game is listed as an Xbox Live arcade title, but it will not disappoint you with the number of game modes. With up to 4 players, you can compete in a full tournament, stroke game, arcade scoring game or basically create your own. Even better, you can match up with a partner and co-op each game mode listed above. If you're looking for a fun game to play with some friends around the TV, this game will have everyone hooked.

If multiplayer isn't your thing, you will still find a reason to play using the single player modes. You can compete with multiple AI opponents in the ever challenging cup modes.

Another unique feature to this game is the character creation tool. Each gamer profile will have their own character within the game. You can customize your character with zany costumes and accessories and with the expansions that DLC may bring, you have endless options.

If you are a fan of the Hot Shots Golf game series, you will finally have a game to feed your addiction on the Xbox 360. Unlike the previous titles, this one will only set you back 800 MS points and it is worth every penny.
