Let's Golf! -- Review






Category: golf games; simulation
Price: $5.99
App Store Link: [Full] / No Lite Version

Review: Exceptional (Love it!)
Recommendation: Great Game. Exceptional Casual Play. Perfect for any Golf fan. If you've got the cash to spend, get it!
Replay Value: Very High

Gameloft does an exceptional job with their golf simulation game, Let's Golf! In fact, they did such a great job, that Let's Golf! has appeal for both causal golfers and gamers alike. Let's Golf! offers three different 18-hole courses (Fiji, England, USA) and one 9-hole course (Scotland), each with unique scenery and flavor. The game also offers 4 unique golfers, each with different skill sets and a customizable sense of style. Players can choose from 4 different modes: Instant Play mode, which consists of 3 random holes; Free Hole mode, where a player can choose to play through a full or half course; Tourniment mode, where players compete against computerized golfers for the best score; and Multiplayer mode.

To make Let's Golf! accomidate casual golfers and gamers alike, there are two different control styles: one designed for simple play, where the game makes recommended choices for players and uses a simple 2-tap system; and one for advanced players that functions more like a golf simulation game. Gameplay is incredably realistic, incorporating power, strength, accuracy, recovery, terrain, wind, slope and ball-spin. However, the intuitive user interface makes control easy and fun.

The replay value for the game is very high. Quick Instant Play mode allows users to play 3 random holes from the selection of 63, so it's rarely the same game twice. Tourniment mode has 3 different challenging levels (easy, medium, and hard), the last two of which require unlocking. Addtionally, playing through torniment mode unlocks extra clothing and items to help style your golfers. If all of that isn't enough, challanging a friend to Multiplayer mode (on either single or multiple devices) can add a fun competitive edge to game.

Overall, Let's Golf! is an exceptional game, perfectly designed for the touch platform, with great graphics, gamplay, and fun. While golfers will probably enjoy this game the most, I'd recommend this game to just about anyone.
