Mario Golf: Advance Tour (Game Boy Advance)

This is by far the best golf game out there for Game Boy!

You can build your Character up by winning Tournaments and special Events..Which gives you points and makes your golfer better..You can go Solo or with a partner...When you Win all the Events (Any TOP 3 ) you get to the Mushroom cup ( Very Tricky Course, eg BOMBS, SPECIAL MARKERS ON COURSE WITH MOVES YOUR BALL TO A NEW POSITION ) to face MARIO, LUIGI,DONKEY KONG,PRINCESS, TOAD,WARIO...This is a must game for everyone..MY wife hates sports games but she was sold on this one..You can pick one up from ebay for about $10us (WELL WORTH THE $$$) Also it will save your game data and can be linked up with another GBA if you have 2 Games )
VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN!!

A golf game with RPG elements? What's going on? An amazing game, that's what! If you like golf games at all, you love this one. The controls strike a beautiful balance between easy to pick up and challenging to master, the game has loads of stuff to do in it, and the graphics are a pleasure to look at. Best of all, at it's core this games has probably the best 2D golf engine I've ever seen. It creates the feel of a 3D golf course convincingly enough that it's easy to forget that this is a 16-bit game. As for the RPG part? It works well, and makes the one player mode a bit more interesting and involving than the typical golf handheld, but don't expect an epic and engaging story-line. I only have two minor critiques of this game: Firstly, there's a bit of a learning curve issue. It's a little easy until the end, at which point it gets very hard. The other is that, while I'd never think I'd say this, there's almost too much stuff to unlock. Half of me is like "Oh man! I only have half the characters unlocked: I need to keep it up!" and the other half is "Ohhh GOD! How many times do I have hit this ball around the grass??" It is just a golf game, after all. I think its designers expected the player to get more into golf games than is humanly possible for the average person. But when my mind goes numb from birdies, skins games, and backspin, I just set the game aside for a few weeks, so I can rediscover how fun it is again later.
