![]() ![]() The game is very much up front about the fact that it is pure arcade action and not a simulation. CyberTiger does not follow the laws of physics or all of the rules of golf but it does not pretend to. Sure, your characters had small bodies and big heads and the courses looked cartoonish, but you can't deny the fact that these games played like dead-on golf sims for the most part. I hesitate to compare this game to Hot Shots Golf or Mario Golf because the thing that made those games so great was the realistic physics and game engine behind them. Throw in all of the usually other modes of golf games and what you have is a fairly entertaining game that just does not have the great gameplay of Hot Shots Golf or Mario Golf. You can play a career as Tiger Woods that has him starting off young and as you win tournaments he gets older. ![]() You can win powerups that will effect your ball in different ways. The ball can be steered in the air after shots. It's no Mario Golf (or Hot Shots) but it should give younger gamers a thrill.ĬyberTigeris best described as extreme golf. The analog swing, while not perfect is innovative as well. The option to use your character as a child, teenager or adult is interesting. Overall the title has a simple charm and more than a few redeemable qualities. So essentially folks looking for a real challenge will get bored with the simple gameplay while young kids will probably dig the quick and easy pace. A feature that's good for kids but too cheap for real golf aficionados. Don't worry, the spin control is so potent you can steer the ball in flight. Or, if you don't return the stick to the top center it misdirects the shot. As you hold back on the stick a power meter engages, if the number goes above too, the shot hooks or slices. It's an interesting way to swing the club but not very accurate. In its place you can use the analog stick in a pull-back-and-push-forward motion. The traditional metered swing is optional. On its own, CyberTiger combines elements from his last golf game (namely the spin control) with a few innovative features. Its personality is puzzling, especially since Hot Shots and Mario Golf have that hybrid niche filled nicely. On one hand it's a cute game for kids, on the other it's a regular golf sim (sorta). Now here's a game that can't easily be defined. ![]()
