PALGN: Everybody's Golf 2 Review - Have a ball

PALGN writes: "Everybody's Golf, or Hot Shots Golf in the US, has been a long running franchise spanning the whole PlayStation family, and has always held its own with a steady stream of quality titles. The most recent edition being Everybody's Golf 2 for the PSP, which thankfully matches the quality standard of the franchise well, and is still as accessible as ever for newcomers to the series.

The gameplay system in place is highly polished and even more refined than previous iterations. When golfing, the d-pad is used to aim in the direction you want to hit the ball, with left and right pointing in each direction, and up and down zooming in or out so you can see further unto the field. Pressing the triangle button will also zoom towards the location you're aiming at, so you can get a better picture on where the ball will land. The circle button will zoom you backwards, and X will reset the camera position. The left and right shoulder buttons are used to switch the clubs you're using which in turn dictates how far the ball will be hit in yards. The square button is used for 'power' shots, though you have a limited number of these, so they're to be used wisely.

Once you've set up your shot and have reset the camera position, the X button is used to make your shot. A small bar will appear on the bottom of the screen, where pressing X again at a certain time in the bar will dictate how powerful your shot is. Upon hitting X, the bar will retract and in order to get the best possible shot, you have to hit the X button again in a little area highlighted by a white bar. This white bars width is also dependent on what ground type you're hitting the ball off, so skilful timing becomes a necessity in order to play in a consistent manner." (Everybody's Golf 2, PSP) 8/10
