Actua Golf 2 (PC)

Ive had this game for about 2 years now. You will either love or hate this game. If you hate golf, stop reading now and read another opinion because you will find this game deadly boring.Some people think sitting through eighteen holes of strikingly similar fairways, dotted with bunkers and trees, is just plain boring. We can tell some people like these games thanks to poular games such as Links386 and other classics. Actua Golf 2 is one of Gremlin's latest sporting titles and comes with PowerVR support in the box.

I picked up a copy of this and Jack Nicklaus 5 at a local computer show for just £1.00, so i was not expecting much from them. With Jack Nicklaus, i had my fears confirmed as it was cumbersome and awkward to play, but not so with actua golf 2.

The courses are many and varied, from rough windy scottish courses, through to the dry still desert ...  Read the complete review

I find Actua Golf 2 to be very difficult when using the Actua swing mode, you really do need to practice a lot with that method of swing, saying that though using the 3 click method is very easy to learn although very demanding to get right every time, there is certainly a skill factor needed.

That's right! My grandad played on this game and he didn't do too badly either! This game is enjoyable and easy to get to grips with. Although sometimes frustrating, the excellent and often humerous commentary, allows you to laugh your hilariously poor strokes away. With a wide range of golfers to choose from and the option to create your own, this game is fun and is not just for fans of golf. However, golf fans will be interested to know that they can hook, swing and slice at some of the most famous and picturesque golf courses in the World including Carnoustie in Scotland and Red Rock in the Arizona desert! With many types of game to choose from ...  Read the complete review
