Video golf doesn't get any more casual (without being completely  ludicrous) thanHot Shots Golf 2, an amusing mix of arcade-style gameplay  and mostly realistic golf physics. Featuring six modes of play and seven  courses, this offbeat sports title offers good single and multiplayer action  for those who find the officially licensed golf titles a little too stiff.The  golfers inHot Shots Golf 2are a motley lineup of cartoon characters  with varying abilities. In addition to unlocking playable characters in the  single-player versus mode, golfers can win balls, clubs, and other prizes in  tournament mode. These equipment upgrades help boost your skill level during  subsequent golf rounds.The 3-D graphics inHot Shots Golf 2are  somewhat inconsistent. This game is littered with two-dimensional eyesores (such  as the peanut gallery of onlookers) and sloppy animations (such as when golfers  chase down balls). Equally spotty are the controls. The teeny-tiny swing meter  makes your shot power hard to judge, and pulling off accurate or  nonstraightforward shots with the game's control setup is much more difficult  than it needs to be.--Joe HonPros:Good mix of arcade-style play with mostly realistic golf physics6 modes of play with lots of secrets to unlockHighlights can be stored and replayedCons:Inconsistent graphics and spotty controls
