Video Game Reviews of Swingerz Golf
Customer Review: Gamer from Texas
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding game! This is the kind of game that makes video golf fun. If you are looking for a golfing game that goes deep into the physics of golf, where the slightest error in judgement or timing sends your ball into the bottom of a lake, this is not for you. Lots of cool characters with their own attributes, make the game fun and easy to control. Although I wouldn't really trust the caddies advice. The memorable moments feature is nice too. Your best shots are saved so you can review them later. Lots of fun, with a lot of frustration as well. Nothing worse than missing an eagle by an inch. Highly recommend.
