Golf.
A decent golf game, nice to have on the go with the Vita. The timing window on swings is smaller and less forgiving than I would prefer, so the difficulty can feel a bit punishing at times, but I found I could usually succeed by playing smart and safe.
While the character designs are still a bit goofy, they are an improvement over previous Hot Shots games. Unfortunately, there's just not that many of them, and they are slow to unlock. It's the same story with the courses, and even the ones that are included don't feel noticably different from one another apart from music and set dressing. It's a missed opportunity for a game titled World Invitational.

really great golfing game! kinda put the game down since the difficulty around the pro league was getting a bit much for me but before that i had a really great time playing through this game, it has such a fun cozy atmosphere with really charming music and graphics and i loved being able to play golf as toro the cat and kat from gravity rush. i mostly just wish i was better at this game honestly lol i would've loved being able to play this game alot longer.
The best golf game out there
The best golf game. Too bad it won't come to other consoles
Ill probably keep playing this off an on for a bit, but it hasnt really gripped me the way i wanted it to. Its a fun enough golf game but im finding it hard to find an understanding of its ball physics and how your shot distance relates to the power meter. Also where in mario golf mistiming the bottom of your swing means the ball slices right or left here it seems a mistiming means your ball arbitrarily magnetizes towards the nearest hazard. Is this intentional or is this just part of how golf courses are designed? No idea. Minus one star because apparently the japanese version of the game has Kiryu in it but i have the US version and its rude that i cant have him.
Game highlight: i like how animals roam around the courses. They dont seem to interfere theyre just hanging out.

Really solid, but I miss the caddies from Everybody's Golf on PS2. A very nice game to have on the go
Oh man, where did the soul go? Besides the graphical fidelity and camera angles while the ball is flying, I think this game is a step down. Presentation feels very sterile… really lacking in the wackiness of the previous games. You could argue that from HSG3, the wackiness has been going down, but we’re at the bottom with this game. Also, caddies have almost no presence in this game! It was fun watching your caddy sprint towards the ball, or you move your camera to them and they wave. Hell, in HSG4, if the ball is headed towards them on a drive, they would say something funny and duck to dodge it. Where’s all that personality? Greg would tear Marta to shreds sorry for speaking the truth.
The control is great, but not as tuned as previous entries are. The ball rolls WAY too much making gauging your shot feels more imprecise. The marker is not where your ball is projected to land anymore (give or take 10 yards) but instead is where it’s gonna roll (give or take 30 – 50 yards). Also, they got rid of the contour lines during your shot so you have little to no idea what the terrain elevation is from where you’re hitting and where you want your ball to go. Sounds like a small change, but on more difficult maps… god. UH ALSO THE JAPANESE VERSION HAS KIRYU I WISH WE GOT THAT!

"Let's go golfing."
An incredible game on the go I have not stopped playing.
