Introduction

Swing your way into the delightful chaos of Everybody's Golf, a game that promises that the only hazards you'll face are the ones you create yourself. Forget stuffy golf etiquette; here, it's all about cartoonish charm and low-stress greens. Released by Camelot Software Planning-who clearly thought golf could use a makeover-this title is anything but your grandpa's golf game. Let's dive into who these wacky characters are and why they make this game a blast, even if putting still makes us want to scream.

Gameplay

The gameplay engine of Everybody's Golf is straightforward yet compelling. You take control of one of the ten customizable golfers, each with their own delightful quirks. Unlocking characters is as simple as beating them in VS mode; it's almost like they're ranking up in a bizarro-world golf tournament where everyone is secretly rooting for you to persistently embarrass them. Each golfer has their own set of skills and specialty shots-yes, because even in golf, there are superheroes! You'll swing, drive, and putt your way through courses that look like they were hatched from a skittles-fueled dream, complete with lava-like water hazards and gravity-defying cliffs. Add in some power-ups that can hit, literally, like a golf ball inside a hurricane, and you've got a recipe for golfing insanity.

Graphics

Visually, Everybody's Golf is a feast for the eyes, albeit one that looks like it's wearing oversized novelty glasses. The bright colors and cheerful character designs create an inviting atmosphere that feels less like a sport and more like a festival where the theme is 'Golf, but make it fabulous'. The courses, with their vibrant palettes and exaggerated features, are reminiscent of a Saturday morning cartoon-think Looney Tunes meet Master's. Motocross bikes in the sand traps? Sure! Disco quarterpipes next to putting greens? Why not! This candy-coated craziness is what keeps this title feeling fresh even after all these years, proving that sometimes, less realism equals more fun.

Conclusion

So, after a deep dive into Everybody's Golf, we putt in the last words (because that pun never goes out of style). This game might not exactly replicate the quiet struggle of a Sunday afternoon golf outing-where you question your life choices as you shank a drive into the bushes-but it expertly captures the carefree essence of having fun with friends, be it virtually or on the course. The quirky characters each have story arcs that are as colorful as their outfits: from the ambitious rookie hoping to become a golf legend to the retiree looking to relive their glory days on the green. Everybody's Golf embraces the wild side of sports, all while delivering solid mechanics and a whimsical charm that continues to draw players into its funky universe. In conclusion, whether you're a golf aficionado or just looking for a laugh-filled way to spend an afternoon, Everybody's Golf deserves a swing on the PlayStation stage.
