Slush's Mario Golf Review
Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64 has very simple, almost "first generation N64" looking, graphics. Not that you can really gripe, as the courses are detailed and varied, but the characters look rather simple for this day and age. Still, graphics aren't really important in a game like this, as the most important factor is gameplay. Besides, Donkey has the "DK" on his tie, and in reverse on the back (always look for the reverse DK on his tie....always). However, the graphics are even simpler than Mario Party. Take that for what you will.
7.5
Sound in this game is average. The music doesn't grate on your nerves (which is good news for a game of concentration), but it's nothing earth shattering. High points to Camelot for using DK's infamous "carburator voice," which I love. As of May 23rd, 2000; the carburator noise sound byte has been used in Mario Kart 64, Banjo-Kazooie (a variation for Conga), Mario Party, this game, and Mario Party 2. That's worth 5.0 points alone in my scoring process. Oh, and the sound of the club whacking the ball down the fairway is sweet enough for another 4.0 points. Don't yell at me. If we were another internet site, and this was a game developed by Miyamoto, I would have already built a shrine for him and given this game a 100,000,000.00 score.
9.0
What seems to be the definition of cameo game when you look it up in a (fake) dictionary: simple play control. Nothing much to say. I'm giving this part the same score I gave Mario Golf for Game Boy Color.
10.0
This game was basically Hot Shots Golf from Playstation with Nintendo characters and more features. That's not neccesarily a bad thing. For one thing, Camelot made Hot Shots Golf, so they were allowed to do that. Second, it's just a damn fun game. A game doesn't have to be revolutionary to be a blast (i.e. Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64). Plus, you don't often see an easy to play golf game (look at the atrocious Waialae Country Club: True Golf Classics) that's also FUN. While I enjoy golf, it's hard to get the feeling of playing it to come across on TV or in games without it appearing to be boring. Mario Golf somehow was able to avoid that. Titalicious!
9.0
This game is good. Buy you bastards, buy!!! Give Nintendo more money, so they pay Camelot for more of these sports games that aren't usually considered very popular (golf, tennis, etc.). I want to see Mario Shuffleboard! Mario Weightlifting! Mario P--s For Distance! And put Diddy in them! Don't be afraid, Camelot. Don't be afraid. Oh, and this game rocked because Donkey was the focal point of all the commercials. Bite that, Yoshi (you giant testicle infection).
