Virtual Boy Complete - Game #5

I don't know what makes a golf game good, this is really my first serious experience with straight-forward golf, buuut - it's fun! The physics work, and while the putting is hard to figure out at first, it makes sense once it clicks. I love psuedo-3D graphics, and this game has that. Biggest problem is, unsurprisingly for a VB game, depth. I often had to close one eye when positioning my ball to make extra sure that the arrow is in the right place - this was only really an issue with the arrow though, in all other parts of the game I understood the 3D plane very well. The sound effects are very nice, there's a fake crowd which is appreciated in any sport game.

There's really not much to say about this. It does what it's trying to do and lacks notable flaws, so it's the best VB title thus far. (until I get to Wario Land, I've played that one before, I know it's gonna be 9 or 10 stars) I have a feeling I'd be more harsh on it if I had more golf experience though. Does make me want to get into golf games more however.
