Rory McIlroy PGA Tour (2015) Review

A few years ago, right after The Masters. I remember some player who did well was talking about how he played Tiger Woods PGA tour with another player and that the game version of Augusta National had actually helped them prepare for the real thing. That sounded neat! It was that realistic? So I bought it and… I got bored. I didn’t like the mechanics, the set-up was confusing. I just wanted to play Augusta!

I think I played a total of 30 minutes of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game before quitting and did the same to this new version. I do have to confess though that I already have a favorite golfing game. It’s the game I measure all others against. It’s a franchise from Clap Hands called Hot Shots Golf (otherwise known as Everybody’s golf). My favorite entries are Hot Shots Golf Fore on the PS2, Hot Shots Gold World Invitational on the Vita and PS3, and Hot Shots Golf Out-of-Bounds on the PS3.
