This game was definitely a game of all time. Like many, I was absolutely on board with this game off of the sheer title and concept alone. BATTLE GOLFER YUI. You don't even need a sales pitch or advertising, just the name alone sold me on playing this game. Unfortunately, yeah this one ain't a winner. There is a wacky story with a few zany twists and turns but it's nothing that hasn't been crazier elsewhere, and the golfing simulation is kusoge levels of bad. The games golfing takes place in a bizarro world where its more about bouncing your ball with good momentum into the spots you need to go rather than having a decent shot, and there is NO good visual feedback for where your ball is ever actually going to go with your shots. It makes the game incredibly frustrating to play, and if you are unfortunate enough to not be playing this on an emulator, means you are going to be hitting that reset button like a drug addict trying to get their next fix. I guess if you emulate this game and use save states to mitigate the frustrations you would have a fun little wacky golf game, but that's not really how the game was originally designed to be played, isn't it? I still think it was good to play this as now my curiosity has been satiated, and the wacky story beats were good fun, but this game is absolutely not something I can wholeheartedly reccomend.
