Setting the gauge left or right (on purpose or by accident) will result in a slice or hook.

Tap the X button once again to set the power, and then tap a third time to line the gauge up with the 'impact zone.' Setting the gauge perfectly with the sweet spot will result in, well, a perfect shot. Hit the X button to start the gauge moving to the left. Hot Shots Golf 3 utilizes the familiar three-tap horizontal swing meter, which determines the power and direction of your shot. Hot Shots Golf 3 is marketed as 'Golf for the People.' Newcomers will immediately appreciate the game's intuitive control scheme and reasonable learning curve while more experienced golfers will acknowledge the game's incredible depth and challenge. So how does it play? Well, underlying the game's cartoony graphics and zany sound effects is a solid game-play engine, which features excellent control and real-world golf physics. Choose from a host of new golf equipment, caddies, and special weather effects. With the points you earn, you can purchase items at the Golf Shop. But be careful, you can also lose points for unfavorable shots, such as hitting the ball in the water or completely out of bounds. You'll be awarded a varying number or points for specific achievements, such as keeping the ball on the fairway, hitting the flag on the green, and getting a hole in one. Compare your scores against other players across the country and compete for prizes and bragging rights.Įxcept for the Training Mode, you'll be able to earn 'Hot Shot Points' on every stroke you take in a single-player game. National Tournaments Mode allows you to participate in monthly tournaments across the nation. Once you earn enough EXP, you'll advance to the next Tour ranking, opening more events. As you play through an event, you'll be able to earn experience points (EXP) and prizes. In Tournament Mode, you'll initially have only a few events to choose from. If and when you think you're good enough, you can enter the Tournament Mode. For those of you who want to play a quick round of golf, the game also features a Short Course consisting of nine par-3 holes. It's a lot of fun to play and it increases the replay value of the game substantially. And since each character looks and plays differently, most gamers will want to keep playing until they've unlocked them all. With each victory, you'll unlock another character. Initially, there are three available characters to choose from. Versus Mode is a one-on-one battle between you and one of the characters in the game. The winner of the game is the player that wins the most holes. In Match Play, the player who scores the lowest on each hole wins that hole. In Stroke Play, you simply pick your favorite course and play an 18-hole round of golf. Stroke and Match Play can be played solo, or with up to four players at once for all-out multiplayer mayhem. Hot Shots Golf 3 features several different play modes, including Training, Match Play, Stroke Play, Versus Mode, Nine Hole/Par Three Course, Tournament, and the National Tournament. But, does it have enough to tame the Tiger? Well, maybe so, but it's not a 'gimme.' Nonetheless, Hot Shots Golf 3 hits the links with fifteen brand new characters, six photo-realistic courses from around the globe, detailed ball animations, dynamic replays, and several different modes of play. But not so fast! This year it's got some serious competition in the form of EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002'a great golf game that offers a stellar combination of rich graphics and innovative game play. With Hot Shots Golf 3, the developers of Hot Shots Golf 2 attempt to deliver the same winning formula to owners of the PS2. But, despite its lack of PGA licensing, the game sold and sold well.

Real Pro golfers and real courses were nowhere to be found. Its formula for success was really quite simple: take a cast of wacky trash-talkin characters, place them into a fully realized 3D world of fairways, bunkers, and greens, throw in an excellent game-play engine, shake well, and out comes a golf game with 'instant classic' written all over it.
