Xbox Review: ProStroke Golf - World Tour 2007 - Page 3

It's a shame your course will look like the rest of the game though. This is a hideous looking game of golf, one so awful it affects game play in multiple ways. With an overcast sky, for example, it's nearly impossible to tell water from a sand trap. The reflection of the clouds looks like the same texture used for the dirt. Trees are masses of pixels. Players look like they're standing in front of a still picture given there's no motion at all in the backdrops (not even with a high wind). Robotic and repetitive animation is the final point that completely causes the engine to crumble.

Prostroke Golf is not a game high on the budget side of things — that's obvious. Credit is due for the creators focusing their skills where they belong instead of padding the game with unnecessary extras. While that sadly destroys this product overall when compared to the competition, fans of video game golf will be thrilled with the original concept for swinging and probably stick around long enough to get caught up in the course creator too. This is a worthwhile purchase to the right audience.

Prostroke Golf is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB. This game can also be found on: PS2, PC.
