    For a truly surreal experience, take Hot Shots out to the course during your next 18, and play a hole or two in between real holes. The only danger there is the rest of your group might become too hooked on what you're doing on Open Tee rather than finishing the real round.

    If you can get past the kiddie characters..., you'll find some of the best golf available, handheld or otherwise. [Aug 2005, p.91]
  3. It's the best game I have played on the PSP so far, it has lasting appeal and plenty of game in it's tiny disc.
  4. The real fun is to be had in multiplayer, with a civilised round with up to four of your mates available via Wi-Fi and plenty of challenges and tournaments to compete in.

    It demands skill without being overly realistic and is challenging without being overly frustrating – an ideal combination that forms the backbone of an incredibly enjoyable game. [JPN Import; Feb 2005, p.116]
  6. But all the dazzling gameplay, and stunning aesthetics can’t hide the fact that Hot Shots Golf simply isn’t truly designed for handheld play.
  7. To me, all these unlockables don't mean very much. My guy could be wearing shades, a Speedo and a hat made out of fruit for all I care. Just hit the ball, Spanky.

    This version of Hot Shots Golf is a fun and Charismatic game, though at times it can be a little too difficult for a portable golfing game.
