Hot Shots Golf 3 Critic Reviews

I can't imagine the series, or video game golf for that matter, getting much better than this (of course it will).

This game is easier to play than a sorority co-ed. In fact, the gameplay is so basic you can handle it easily while half in the bag.

While Hot Shots 3 doesn’t revolutionize the series by any stretch of the imagination, it delivers sweet PS2 graphics and loads of slick refinements that make it another must-play game.

A fantastic game – get off your can and go get it before that fat guy across the street beats you to the store.

The single player is enough to warrant a buy, but the national tournaments and multi-player aspects make it one you just have to have in your game library.

It's so good that on a gorgeous, sunny 80-degree afternoon I found myself hitting the virtual links instead of the real thing – and I love real golf.

Everything works well together and Clap Hanz should be complimented by improving on an already successful formula.

The only real flaw I found with the gameplay is that the game seems fairly forgiving with mistakes.

I can't remember a game with almost nothing I would change...No other golf game keeps the action moving so well from one shot to the next.

Usually a person will hate a game when they lose at it on a consistent basis, the case is completely different here. This is just a testament of how fun and gripping this game is to play.

Given the choice between Tiger Woods and Hot Shots Golf 3, I'd take Hot Shots any day.

Casual fans have everything they could want.

A perfect virtual getaway -- without the pretension.

An exceptional golf game.

Perhaps the best party game for the PS2 out there.

There’s only so much Hot Shots you can take before you start craving something new and innovative about the whole experience.

If there's one area in which Hot Shots Golf 3 completely obliterates the competition, it's pacing. The loading times are nearly nonexistent...You can finish an 18 hole course in a half-hour, which is really great.

In comparison , the tap-tap-tap system employed in Hot Shots can't help but feel a little bit tired. It works, but there are far more possibilities to the PS2 control interface that could be make golf gameplay fresher, more intuitive, and more fun.

Deep where it counts — the game play.

It's easy to play, but it's got remarkable depth and tons of replayability.
