TeamXbox: Golf: Tee It Up Review

TeamXbox writes: "Some days, you just want to hit to links and play a few holes. Problem is, if you’re a 360 owner and don’t want to actually leave the house, you really haven’t had a whole lot of options. Game developer Housemarque and Activision are changing that with the release of their new XBLA title, Golf: Tee It Up! Not one to pass up a chance to hit the greens, we broke out the virtual clubs, picked up a caddy, and teed up for a few rounds.

Right off the bat, you can tell that Tee It Up! is geared more towards the casual gamer than it is the hardcore golfer. The game’s visual style takes its cue more from games like Sony’s Hot Shots Golf series than it does EA’s Tiger Woods franchise. Like Hot Shots Golf, Tee It Up! uses an exaggerated artistic style for the golfers. Players can customize the look of their golfer from head to toe, changing the head/hair, outfit, shoes, and accessories from a decent selection of options. Players will also be able to further customize their golfers by picking up costume packs that will be made available for download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace later on down the road."
