From the get go it looks much like its predecessor, cutesy big-headed characters playing tournaments across a variety of golfing greens to win more characters, new courses and items to soup up your golfer's appearance.
The single player options include Challenge, Stroke Play, Minigame and Training modes. Stroke Play lets you play through any course of your choosing, to have a quick round of golf. Minigame is a simple but addictive task of hitting a hole-in-one, made much easier with three large holes to choose from, each hole worth a little more points than the other. While navigating through the menus at times the game can appear frozen as the transition between screens isn't smooth and there is no sign to show that loading is taking place."
Pros:
-Pretty good graphics for a portable game, Infrastructure mode
Cons:
-Confusing HUD, "Nice Shot!" right into a bunker

This could be a reason to actually get Hot Shots / Everybody's Golf if you have not already…
This DLC pack with Sackboy is available in Japan from tomorrow. We'll post news of release dates in Europe and North America when we hear of them…"
What stocking stuffers should you be picking up for Sony's pocket platform this year? PALGN gives their opinion.
Everybody's Golf 2 is the latest in a long line of first party sequels to crop up on the PSP. Like those before it, it's both technically sound and offers solid gameplay, with a selection of new improvements. As far as handheld golfing goes, Everybody's Golf 2 is certainly one of the best and online play is just another great step for the series.
Casual players and the hardcore alike, veterans and newcomers, there's a great experience for everybody on offer. At this stage in the series' life, as fun and rewarding as it is, Everybody's Golf 2 just seems to lack that certain flair that ends up leaving the experience feeling somewhat empty.
