Game Reviews

You jump one peg into an open spot and remove the peg you jumped. How few pegs can you end up with at the end of the round? It's a personal challenge to get down to one peg, and then to one peg in the spot of your choice.

I highly recommend this game for the thoughtful youngster or the adult with a few minutes to kill. One great thing about Hi-Q is that you can play a round in five minutes or less.

Top-notch product with timeless appeal.

Warning--there are small parts which pose a choking hazard for small children and babies.

Would be a great game for any elementary school classroom.

Too bad there is not an electronic version because the part I hate the most is setting up the board to start a new game.

nuff said. xbox sucks

Now lets talk about the new things they added. The most considerable notice is the much more wide selection of courses and characters. Theres an upgrade from the five courses in hot shots golf three to thirteen thats right thirteen courses (includeing the five from hot shots golf three revamped a little of course). Also theres a huge new selction of characters theres now 24 golfers to choose from (one is an animal the rest are humans) and theres now ten diffrent caddies (two are animals i know one of the animal caddies is a panda bear but im not sure about the other). Thats a HUGE new selction compared to what there was to choose from in hot shots golf three. Also new and one of the most exciteing features is the online tourniments were you can test your golfing skills with up to 31 players in an online tourniment exciteing eh? Also another big new feature, the return of putt putt golf. But its not your normal putt putt your up in the air or in crazy locations shooting shots that ricochet off of rocks or haveing to hit over narrow bridges with no rails on the sides! Your rewarded points in putt putt for the length of your shot and how many shots it takes to get in the hole. You can also play two player putt putt witch will be fun to challenger your putting skills.

Lastly ill discuss the improvments in gameplay. The gameplay is enough the same to please old time players but slightly different to please them as well. It still goes by the three click method (press to get started press for length and press again for how straight and how much of the ditance youll get, easier done then said) but has different characters with different ways of hitting and new items to buy to customize the way you golf to make things different. Also theres a new easy mode where theres no third click so you always hit what you mean to for those newbies comeing into the game. Although it dose take a major challenge out of the game. With the new courses and characters it makes it a little funnier to play on new courses that present a new challenge or play as a different character to make a course easier or harder. With so many characters theres a character thats just right for one course and another just wrong for that same course. The gameplay is great maybe the best in any golf game and must be expreinced at least by renting the game. All in all this game is great it manages to keep its old glory that people love yet add new things people are sure to want to see improved or added in yet another sequel.

My only complaints: the pieces are way too flimsy and several of them bent easily, and the five extra pieces were way too obvious.

But it's still a wonderful(and difficult) puzzle.
