User Reviews

One of the finest sports videogames I own - surprisingly!

Who ever thought a title such as "Mario Golf" would actually amount to anything?

Surprisingly it's well-made and addictive; for anyone who plays golf (such as myself) it's rather fun and realistic. I had expected some cartoony-type Mario videogame where they use golf as a simple backdrop, but it actually is a realistic golf game, albeit one with silly characters and landscapes.

Overall though everything else is very realistic and it's a fine videogame - I've owned it for years and still enjoy playing it. If you haven't gotten an upgrade from an N64 yet, this is one of the "must-buy" games, even for non-sports-fans and sports-fans alike. Oh, and Mario fans, although they may be a bit more disappointed since it isn't typical Mario fare!

4.5/5
