Hot Shots Golf/Everybody's Golf is the major golf game on the PS1, being the only one developed by Camelot before going on to develop games in the Mario Golf series, which is kinda cool. This is another PS1 classic that any gamer seems to remember and love, and I can see why. As a PS1 game, it has loads of charm, but as a golf game, it's kinda barebones

You first start out with two selectable characters available before expanding the roster after beating the computer players in a competitive game of golf. There is 6 courses total, and you unlock them by scoring points by getting birdies, eagles, etc, or in tournaments. You can also unlock mini-golf if you want something simple and fun and need a break from all that regular golfing. I like unlocking these modes and courses, but after I've achieved the platinum and got everything available, I don't see an incentive to come back to this game. Don't get me wrong, there is some content, but it’s not enough to keep me interested for long

The controls are... ok. It's tolerable for a golf game in the late 90s, but I felt like some of my shots were inaccurate at times, leading me to abuse the rewind feature, especially when it came to playing against the CPUs and getting the Hole-In-One trophy

Hot Shots Golf is a decent golf game for the PS1 but has aged in a few areas. Besides that, I'm still interested in checking out the sequels and seeing where the series has evolved
