John Daly’s ProStroke Golf is a good example of how to use the Move hardware effectively in a golf game, but nothing else is quite up to snuff. If you don’t have Move, there’s really no reason to invest the fifty bucks. You can still play with the standard Dual Shock controller, but why would you when Tiger Woods offers a better analog stick alternative? If you’re looking for an example of the potential of Move, John Daly’s ProStroke Golf might be a good showcase once its price drops a bit. As it stands, its visuals and feature set simply don’t make par.

We’ve had a flurry of plentiful PSN release weeks lately, and, unless you count all of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 micro items expected on Tuesday, it looks like April 9th might be ruining that streak. There’s only a couple new downloadable games arriving, one of them is Guacamelee! though, with no Day 1 Digital Titles making their way to the PSN.

Oh wow Fatal Frame that is badass! They might as well give Anarchy Reigns for Free, it was semi fun, but needed some polishing.
Being the first golf title designed to utilise that PlayStation Move motion-controller obviously has its advantages, as while Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 has since received a free downloadable patch to incorporate the use of the device, it pales in comparison to the degree of accuracy on offer in John Daly’s ProStroke Golf. From that first strike off the tee to every putt, birdie or sand trap, John Daly’s ProStroke Golf offers one of the best virtual representations that the PlayStation Move has yet produced. Though the motion-controller is still in its infancy, O-Games’ John Daly’s ProStroke Golf has set the bar to which all other sports titles using PlayStation Move will be compared.
Like so many of its franchises, EA has the undisputed leader in the clubhouse when it comes to golf games, thanks to their association with (usually) the world’s best golfer, Tiger Woods. But while Tiger and Phil may be the top stars on the tour, and there’s a host of other athletic young stars hot on their heels, there’s another class of golfer, the everyman, who occasionally reaches up to grab the spotlight.
meh...not too surprised, although I'd love a good golf game for Move.
I really wish they were working on a new Hot Shots golf or they would patch Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds with Move support.
I got your prostroke right heeeeh.
IDK this John Daly fella but according to IGN, his game is the Custer's Revenge of golf games.
golf sucks.
I don't get it... So this game gets the move controls down but everything else is horrendous. Tiger Woods has everything else down but the move controls are horrendous. Sigh...
Some poor kid's gonna get this bought for him at Christmas instead of Bulletstorm.
