Avatar Golf Review

Wanted to get the word out quick about this new Indie game. Just released on Saturday, Sept. 5th, Avatar Golf is a easy to play golf game. Simple controls allow anyone to play this game. Your online Avatar is your golfer of choice. You can edit the color, but not the attributes of the player. Think Tiger Woods, but your the main golfer. I played 2 rounds and it was very fun. You can customize the weather, time of day, and some physics. I don't want to spoil it for you. For the required 400 Microsoft Points, you get a local multiplayer mode, a online multiplayer mode, and a course editor. I have yet to check that feature out. So you get your money's worth on this title. The graphics are awesome, and surprising for the price. The game does have some Avatar expressions that are pretty standard. Overall there are 6 courses with 18 holes each. 8 player online capabilities.

So what is the catch? OK, no achievements. Take a deep breath. You will get no G's for playing this game. What the game does offer is unlockable "titles". They are titles you can assign to your avatar. They pop up just like achievements. The only other negative I thought was the music. Very repetitive and it got on my nerves by the third hole. However, they do have a custom music feature and you can stream music from your hard drive or network connected computer. That is a pretty awesome feature. Go download this game now, so I will have someone to play online.

Thanks for reading.
