Title: Disney Golf
Review rating: ***
Platform/console: Playstation2
Release date: October 2002
Genre: Sports
Players allowed: 1 to 4 (multi-tap)
ESRB rating: E
Production company: Electronic Arts
A very kid friendly game that probably has enough options,
power-ups and upgrades to satisfy older gamers as well. Easy
gameplay graphics include a floating icon that always shows
were the flag is located and hit meters that mark the ideal
time to hit the ball. Disney Golf has six courses including
American, Western, mountain and tropical
Creative screen wipes and eight classic characters including
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald. Mickey’s announcer/help
character shows up to make comments and helpful tips during
your turn. He would probably be more annoying if the game
wasn’t so easy. The controls are also simple except
for some menu navigation. Remember to hit select to get out
of a game.
You have the options of a Quick Start, Game Start, Continue,
and the Members Room where you can explore character status,
course records, replay room and the all important load/save
option. Game modes include Match Play (2 players), Stroke
Play (best total score for 1 to 4 players), Skins Play (each
hole worth a certain number of points) and combination mode
which allows for cooperative play as two players switch turns.
You can also participate in simpler games/contests including
Near the Pin and Longest Drive (use Goofy). There’s
also a Challenge mode for one player. Add two bonus modes
and you’ll find a lot of fun-filled entertainment for
hours and hours.
