![]() ![]() Deductions to your point total occur when making errors like shooting into the rough or straight into a bunker. Throughout your gameplay you earn points for making great shots, as well as making Eagles, Birdies and pars as well as completing the single player challenges. I am hoping that cross platform play will be allowed in the next Hot Shot game to allow Vita and PS3 owners to mingle amongst each other. I think only time will tell for Hot Shot fans if this catches on or not. There were not a ton of people online, but there were people there to interact with so not is all lost. It is neat that you can have your own avatar to head online with that you create in game. There is an “Enter Lobby” option in the online menu which is a meeting place for fellow golfers to chat and a place to organize people to sign up for tournaments. Online play mainly consists of playing in the Daily International Tournament where you enter a tournament play through a round of golf and post your score to see how you match up against the other players on the Network. Finally, Stroke play is pretty much identical to challenge mode except that you have no opponents or final head to head match to worry about. ![]() Maybe the training mode could have been better named “Practice Mode” as it is more practice then training. I think that it might have been more useful this mode to actually teach you what different clubs are capable of or train you how to approach difficult shots out of bunkers, roughs, or even out of the water, but unfortunately it does not. I found that the training mode is not very helpful at all as it is much better to just jump in and play the game to learn the holes rather than doing it in training mode. Of course there is a training mode that allows you to select a course and hole that you can play over and over again until you get it right. When you have collected enough stars open up a challenge that has you going head to head with another golfer in match play win this match and you advance to the next round of challenges. Should you be successful you unlock a gold star. You play through a series of challenge matches against a field of other golfers where you compete to end up in first place. My putting is generally the weakest aspect of my game, so it would make sense to concentrate on skills to make that easier, but it seems no matter how much I bonus skill I add to this area I keep on missing crucial putts.Ĭhallenge mode is where you will spend most of your single player time. I like to have a lot of power in my shots so I tend to pick my characters and equipment with that in mind as it allows me to make the green as quickly as possible. Starting off with your pick of a female or male character (8 others are unlockable through the Shop), you then pick your club set, ball, and shot type, as each one of them has its’ own strengths and weaknesses. The two main gameplay modes are single player and multiplayer with the controls being the same in both modes. That being said, you do have to be careful though as you will have to tweak your set-up for a shot more then a few times as the game tries to take the shortest distance from point A to point B at times, which may result in you facing a barn, tree or any other obstacle. Luckily, for those who aren’t into golf as much as others Hot Shots will try and match up the best club for the situation at hand. ![]() Golf on the surface is not very complicated: get the ball in the hole with the least amount of strokes possible however, to do this you have to know what each club can do, what club to play in certain situations, how to read the greens, and how to manage any complications that could come up when playing a specific hole. ![]()
