  • Summary: Swing Away Golf is a game whose features and execution could barely be explained by a book, let alone by a review.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 11 out of 15
  2. Negative: 1 out of 15
  1. It has to be the best golf game on the market today.
  2. While it lacks freshness, a combination of colorful graphics and realistic ball physics gives it broad appeal.
  3. IT'S TOO DAMN EASY AND UNCHALLENGING.
  4. A mess of half-arsed ideas, evil loading times, and a pace that's shockingly sedate.

    Not bad for a golf game. the story mode is cool; you can work your way up into the pro ranks. the putting is nicely done; challenging and not frustrating (a rare combo of golf games i find). This game would seriously rock with a few changes. some problems: 1)the characters and caddies are repetitive in what they say and do. i personally don"t like animee style characters either, but maybe that"s just me. 2)when the characters swing the game sorta slows down. not a problem as far as gameplay goes, just doesn"t look that nice. 3) the music sux because it"s so repetitive. golf games need a good soundtrack since you spend quite a bit of time watching someone else play. overall though it's one of the best golf games i've played.
