    Forget about the "Everybody´s set club", cause the rest of the game is a pure and brilliant simulator.

    Totally awesome game! If you loved HSG3, you'll definitely love HSGF. The game physics are great! If it's really windy, you'll see the trees sway. The biggest plus is the addition (or re-introduction) of mini golf....Finally!!!!!

    Hot Shots Golf FORE! (HSGF!) is the anti-Tiger Woods golf game. No analog swings here. No real courses or PGA licensing. What HSGF! has is a decent golf sim wrapped inside of an arcade-style presentation. There are some improvements over Hot Shots 3 (online-enabled, more courses, revamped single-player mode, more stats) and a few missteps (putting still a pain, needlessly intrusive and badly stereotyped voice clips)... but overall, HSGF! is worth at least a look for fans of the series and golf fans in general.

    The fact that i've been constantly coming back to play this game for the last 5 years says a lot about how great this game is. Theres plenty of awesome characters and caddies to choose from and lots of comic relief when it comes to the hilarious and equally random remarks made from the characters and the gallery. Once you get the hang of this game the sky is the limit, since reaching National Champion status is not finish line and there lots of stuff to unlock, this game seems endless and always entertaining. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because of the frustration that comes with the difficulty at times, but it's golf, and thus very realistic. Expand

  1. The graphics will simply amaze you in this off the wall game.
  2. The visuals may seem vaguely familiar, and the gameplay may fit like a glove, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a sequel that delivers as much new content as Hot Shots Golf Fore! so effortlessly does. [Sept 2004, p.108]
  3. The unlockable content alone is enough to keep a player busy for quite some time; couple in the sweet little extras like 'celebrity' golfers, and mini golf and the enjoyment can go on for quite some time.
