Mario Golf for Game Boy Color

Given that most people will buy anything with Mario's chubby face plastered on it, the developers of Mario Golf could have taken the easy route with this license. Instead they practically ignored it, focusing on gameplay instead. Players can jump straight into the golfing action on one of the game's four courses, but we recommend checking out the excellent role-playing mode. In this mode, you create a character and improve his or her golf skills by earning experience points in tournaments, playing minigames, or receiving items from characters in the gaming world. This is one of the best arcade golf games on any system, period. The physics just feel right. If you perform poorly, it was probably your fault--rather than poor game controls. The camera zooms in on the action when the ball gets close to the hole, turning many shots into nail-biting experiences. After a few pathetic rounds, we were able to get a feel for the wind and the lie of the greens. Then, it happened--we became hooked on this must-own game.

Mario Golf was one of the biggest hits on the GameBoy platform last year. And with full justification, I may add. Mario Golf is nothing spectacular, yet it provides endless fun in its most simple, addictive form.

In this game, you assume a role of a player you can customize. You can... Read full review »

Pros RPG mode, dictionary, lots of courses

I own the N64 version of Mario Golf, and for the longest time, figured that I didn't need the Game Boy version of the game. Luckily, my best friend bought it when he purchased a Game Boy, and let me create a character on it while he played some of my games.

Pros On-going development of the players means each new round can be different.
Cons Putting is haaaaaard. More courses would be nice.
Recommended it? Yes

In keeping with my tendency to purchase a new Gameboy game before every flight I take of any length, so it was that I ended up with Mario Golf stuffed into my over-sized handbaggage as I left Rome, fuelled largely by gin-and-tonic, on a flight bound for New York.

And I'm not bored yet; in... Read full review »
