Product ReviewsReal World Golf (Sony PlayStation 2, 2006)

Interesting concept

I am a 5 handicap golfer and wanted something to have some fun at home. This game definitely will get your heart pumping as you swing over and over again in a quick fashion rather than a lengthy round of golf. The graphics are alright and the gae play is quick and easy. I was worried about the cords breaking, but after snapping a few bad swings off they stayed in place and intact. The only bad comment I have about this is that I hit my driver a LONG way on the golf course, on the game - only 245 yrds. That is non-sense. It seems to limit the actual realism by turning your typical distances into a formulated and restricted amount. After playing the game for about three hours, the handicap everyone starts out at (20) was lowered. Amazingly, the game rated me a 4 handicap even though I missed many fairways and putts. I figured it allocated that handicap based on my swing and the consitency of it. This game is gret for people who have low ceilings as well since you don't want a full club in your hands to accidentally kill your audience with or punch a hole in the wall or TV for that matter. All in all I think is a great learning tool and certainly an exercise to keep your rythm and balance situated properly. For the price compared to the other simulator on the market, this is definitely a better deal and relatively very realistic.Read full review...

Very nice game for the price.

I like that it was a very good price but I do have the occasional problem with the game not working. That is usually fixed with a restart though nothing major. It is nice to be able to get some swings in before going to actually play a round. Help with not getting so sore the day after playing a round but that is probably due to only playing a round 2 or 3 times a year as well. Overall it is a pretty fun game if you just like to golf, no thrills and graphics are not great.Read full review...

Cheap motion play golf for PS2 . . .

This is a fun thing to try but I honestly wouldn't spend much more than $20.00 or so for it. It is quite inaccurate at times and club face detection can be a rather large problem leading to huge slice/hooks using even amateur club settings.

My suggestion would be to get Tiger Woods on the Wii system but if you only have a PS2, or want something cheap, this is the ticket for you.Read full review...

Real World Golf (Review)

This is an excellent buy, because you can saves tons of money by going to the driving range on the game instead of the golf course. This is a bonus for those who want to play golf all year round. It has helped me tremendously in my real golf game, a plus for any beginner to golf.Read full review...

Very good product

Very well constructed. Could use a heftier club to give more of a feel for the swing. Other than that it is a great deal.

real world golf

for the price of a used one,its very fun .i use actual clubs when i play it .good buy if under 30 dollars

Not perfect, but at that price, it is amazing!!!

I began playing golf at the end of last summer and bought Real World Golf to practice my swing during winter.

The game is infinitely more forgiving than the real thing (after playing about once a week during six months, it gives me 0 handicap... I am sooooooo far from that in reality), but still it gives the feeling you are playing golf. You have to keep your concentration on each shot and use strategy in approaching the holes. I have set up my game in my basement where the ceiling is high enough that I can play it with a real 7 iron instead of the small ennoying plastic stick provided with the game.

It is not yet precise enough to really be a learning tool. But it gives you the feeling of playing real golf, is fun to play and allows you develop/keep your flexibility during winter, especially if you have the space to use a real club.Read full review...
