Problem is, if you're a 360 owner and don't want to actually leave the house, you really haven't had a whole lot of options. Game developer Housemarque and Activision are changing that with the release of their new XBLA title, Golf: Tee It Up! Not one to pass up a chance to hit the greens, we broke out the virtual clubs, picked up a caddy, and teed up for a few rounds.
Right off the bat, you can tell that Tee It Up! is geared more towards the casual gamer than it is the hardcore golfer. The game's visual style takes its cue more from games like Sony's Hot Shots Golf series than it does EA's Tiger Woods franchise. Like Hot Shots Golf, Tee It Up! uses an exaggerated artistic style for the golfers. Players can customize the look of their golfer from head to toe, changing the head/hair, outfit, shoes, and accessories from a decent selection of options. Players will also be able to further customize their golfers by picking up costume packs that will be made available for download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace later on down the road."
Carlos writes "I reckon it’s safe to say that no Xbox 360 title arriving on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility now will be quite as anticipated as that of last week’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, but that doesn’t mean there aren't still hundreds of cracking titles that we’d like to see make their way onto the scheme. The latest batch of arrivals brings five new games across to Xbox One, none of which have really been at the top of the wish list for many players. But are there a few gems in there you should be returning to?"
3D mini golf was good but I was never very skillfull at it, maybe I will jump back to it.
Golf is an activity that is challenging, relaxing, and addictive, but unfortunately time, finances, and distance often stand in the way of enjoying the pleasures of the course. Fortunately, free online golf games exist in abundance to help satisfy the craving, and these games are addictive in their own right. The intricacies of strategy and skill are well-translated into a virtual experience in many games; others offer a more casual approach. Whether playing the full 18 holes of real, famous golf courses or focusing on angles in a whimsical miniature golf games, I find the range of options to play golf online endlessly entertaining and challenging.
