Teeing up zany golf antics for decades (we\u2019re talking 32-bit!), HYDE and Bandai Namco are bringing the time-tested Hot Shots Golf\/Everybody\u2019s Golf series to new platforms with the appropriately-titled Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

For a title with saucer-eyed cuties, overly dramatic caddies, and Pac-Man as a golfer, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots packs some serious depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After placing one\u2019s tee, the tried-and-true three click system comes into play. While some button mappings differ compared to previous entries (watch your muscle memory\u2026), rock-solid fundamentals make their glorious return in Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lining up one\u2019s shot, one can then choose if they want to add some spice by adjusting Power and Spin. Timing one’s button presses just right, their little ball (hopefully) then makes its way home with a little birdie (or eagle) in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to also keep wind speed and weather in mind too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do things right in Everybody\u2019s Golf: Hot Shots, and one will get an extreme close-up<\/a> and a rainbow-colored \u201cNice Shot!\u201d text that hits those dopamine receptors just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do things wrong, however, and Everybody\u2019s Golf: Hot Shots will also let you know – we\u2019re talking negative flashes and those aforementioned caddies showing their\u2026less-than-happy sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how you play, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots is truly addictive. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Everybody's<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While we\u2019ve been playing the series for decades, Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots is perfect for newcomers and veterans alike. In addition to a collection of guides, Everybody\u2019s Golf: Hot Shots features countless settings and difficulty modes to ease even the most casual players into the swing of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all else fails, there\u2019s also an in-game Shop where one can purchase quality gear and items with currency earned through play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not too sure how eating a Scotch egg correlates to improving one\u2019s spin technique, but we\u2019re not complaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots’ wealth of content will easily be one’s next addiction. While players start out with the returning Highland C.C. Course, they\u2019ll quickly unlock additional courses, caddies, and golfers (we\u2019re talking dozens) as they max out the VS Gauge alongside Loyalty and Trust parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s a caveat  – Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots has players unlocking the majority of its content like ye olden days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, we welcomed this approach with open arms – we loved taking on opponents for the honor of playing as them! If one is looking to check out everything from the offset, be forewarned that sweat equity is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots features a wealth of modes for players to choose from. World Tour mode lets players live out their main character syndrome fantasies, while Challenge Mode lets players earn currency and build their VS Gauge to take on new rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Everybody\u2019s Golf: Hot Shots also keeps things interesting with its new Wacky Golf mode. One can team up in Scramble, reign chaos with Colorful’s variables, steal clubs in Survival, or even cause an explosion with Boom Golf. Everybody\u2019s Golf: Hot Shots packs tremendous replayability in the most creative of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots is the definitive arcade golf game, with countless golfers, caddies, courses, and modes just waiting to be explored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
