Minna No Golf 5 (Everybody's Golf 5) - PS3

[tyler]

Game Choice Club.

I've unlocked the first character now and the Training Resort, which is amazing. Creating your own challenges in the training mode is great, like chipping the ball into baskets and LOTS more but I won't spoil anything.

Awesome fun.

Got my copy about an hour ago form GCC too, although mine is the Japanese version

My game of the year so far

So much fun to play and loads to unlock by the looks of it, only done the first 2 tournies (-4 and -5)

May try the online mode out later on but want to sample more of the single player delights first

Import friendly as hell to due to the translated images, it's a crime not to get this game

[Bleeders]

Go start a thread in the online bit mate, get some tourney's going on this when mine decides to show up.

[Dazzyman]

Aye I will be up for this guys probably from tommorow (as want to play it first) as mines just this second arrived from Dave123. It is also the asian version with the booklet.

If anyone wants us to get a game Im down as Dazzyman as usual on PS3 (my headset is bust though so its either 360 at same time or shh quiet time

Don't think these games sell all too well in the west (not sure though) so don't think it matters too much. My impression is, outside Japan, people prefer the style of Tiger Woods et al. Horse for courses as they say.

Everybody's Golf sells quite well in Europe doesn't it?

[MikeF]

Online is hammered at the moment, no slots in any of the upcoming games that I have been able to find, will try again after I have had something to eat

Single player is ace though, especially when you have to use the new hit method in some events. I prefer the traditional 3 click method myself.

Just opened up tier 2 but am going to finish off tier 1 before I venture on.

The verus room games don't seem to be available either, I suspect that they will be added later on

Definitely. I need to get a pic uploaded of the options for offline multi-player though. There's quite a few options in there.

The game is sublime. I'm onto the Intermediate challenges now.

I definitely prefer the new system myself. I presume it's the events with the "!" that require it? I hope they don't force be to the old system at any point.

Making sure we clear everything before moving on aswell, my brother is playing whilst I'm on here.

Hope the VS are up soon. Though the best option would be if you could play as a group of four in the tournaments.

I would be surprised if this does not get a TON of online options. It'd be nice to get some fourballs/foursomes etc options in too. Golf, as it is basically turn based is an ideal online game.

The intermediate challenges?? Is this something on the training course (that I haven't unocked yet)

[tyler]

No, no. The Intermediates start at tier 3 (blue backgrounds) and the courses get mirror'd aswell for some of them.

[MikeF]

ahhhh, Just signed up for a tourney (18h) that starts in 20 mins

hopefully I will be able to complete all 18h without running out of time

[tyler]

Here's the multi-player options if anyone can help. Apologies for the poor camera.

[teddymeow]

Only two days to wait for mine as it shipped from yesasia today. I can't wait to play against some of you guys online with this! Does it support voice chat at all?

[MikeF]

Just finished my first tourney, +1 played awful, but it was forced new hit method with the starting male character (never used him before). The winner was on -17.

Just signed up for another tourney starting in 10 minutes.

You get 90secs to play a par 3, 120secs for a par 4 and 180secs for a par 5. If you fail to finish the hole in the alloted time then its game over. After each hole there is another countdown before the next hole starts

It took me around 45 mins to play an 18 hole tournament.

Not sure about voice chat but there is plenty of text chat going on in the lobbies (if only I understood it)
