MARIO GOLF IS ONLY GOOD FOR ABOUT 10-15 HOURS. Mario Golf Super Rush was one of those games that I had my eye on since I heard about its release earlier this year. I'm a huge, life long nintendo fan, and I've purchased my switch off the premise of playing with friends. I'm a sucker for couch co-op games, and there's not a better platform than the switch. I pre-ordered Mario Golf and even woke up early to get my first 18 holes in before work. I was so geeked and excited to play this game. And for good reason too! It's awesome! Such a fantastic game experience! You get to play as King Bob-omb! You NEVER get to play as King Bob-omb I'm any other games! The motion controls are fantastic. It really makes you focus on your form. I shank the ball to the right like I do in real life 😅 playing motion controls on the screen with 3 other players, also, fits very nicely. I love hanging out with friends and drinking a few beers while playing this game. Such a chill cool game. But when your friends aren't around and you're forced to play this game by yourself, it left a lot to be desired. The story line for the adventure mode was cool. You play as a Mii who ventures around who collects badges and clubs and get better as you go along. It's like a golf version of pokemon with Zelda like bosses. The adventure mode lasted maybe 8 hours. And after I was done, the only other thing to do was unlock star and super star clubs. Which (tbh) wasn't that cool. On motion controls, star and superstar modes allow you to hit further, but they also take a lot of your control away. The clubs don't even look different 😡 Customization would have been such a cool feature in this game, but MGSR missed the boat with that one. There is hope for DLC, but the limited map selection, 0 customization of players, no matchmaking for online, no ranking system, and short adventure mode take some serious points away. But for everything they do bad, they make up for: fantastic couch co-op, cool innovative ways to play golf, character selections, beautiful maps, and realistic motion controls 👍 3 outta 5
