Wii Sports Impressions: Wii Golf

Of the five Wii Sports, I’ve spent the least time with golf. This doesn’t mean that the game is bad, per se, but just that the others have been a lot more fun to play. One thing working against golf is its sterile environment. In the other four sports, there are a lot of Miis around while you play. In golf, you’re out on the course by yourself. It’s a small thing, for sure, but it does make the golf game more barren than the other games.

Also, the options in golf are incredibly limited. You’ve only got one 9-hole course, and with only four clubs to choose from, the game seems is simple to the core.

I can say that the club controls feel about right. I’m a little less sure of the physics model; watching some of my wife’s shots make me think the ball should behave differently than it does.

I’m hoping to become a pro at all the Wii Sports, however, so at some point I hope to come back to this game and play it a bit more.
