What a bunch of bitchy whiners… nobody said it was suppose to be an EA game, so quit trying to compare EVERY Wii game on the same merits… the idea that anyone purchased a Wii as a game console in place of a PS3 or XBox is a joke… it was meant as a FAMILY console, not a hard core gamer system… if you are a pimple faced, no life having gamer geek, you shouldn’t have purchased a Wii in the first place. The reviewer here is obviously an EA fan, because Tiger Woods mechanics such arse, and you think they are good… get a clue… this is a cute, very enjoyable family game. I play this with my nieces and nephews as well as my parents who are in their 60’s and they all love it. See it for what it is and quit trying to make it a blockbuster… it was never meant to be, but for the price, it is an excellent game.

I find it stupid that 75% of the game is locked … we’ve played good games and still nothing gets unlocked. Bad game … waste of money!!

I thought this game was pretty good. We had a bunch of family members over (ages 6 to 60) and we all thought it was fun. Sure, the music is a bit repetitive but the graphics are fun enough, (we all laughed at the characters clipping problems though) and the difficulty is spot on for a casual game. I’ve played it a few times and opened the other courses. I’ve played quite a few DDI games and they have all been terrible, but I think this one is a good one for them.

Who are you kidding, this was horrible, it was like it was half finished or something…………………………. “Ok guys, times up, and the budgets run out. let’s se what you’ve got.”………….”That will have to do, let’s slap a menu screen on it, patch on the NuYu’s and find some music that won’t cost us anything.”………”Right ship it out, it’s not like we have a reputation to up hold, as long as we’re still making money.”……………….”There auctioning a container of dodgy clubs from Taiwan on Ebay.”……….”Good work Jonesey, call marketing and get them to raise the price $10 and put a spin on that club thing, that should sucker in a few idiots.”

I am sorry if it offends anyone, but we are relatively new to the Wii system and my entire household of 5 can’t stand this game. We have all played it once and have NO desire to play again. The kids did not even finish a full game. My biggest complaint about it is that it does not seem to allow to select left or right handed. My household is 60% left handed. It was difficult to attempt to play this backwards with my left hand or with my right. Sorry, saying the game stinks is really a compliment.

That’s bizarre. God knows what’s going on there then.

According to their PR agency it’s not until May!

It’s not on the Gamestation or GAME websites. You must have just been super lucky to get it in your local.

This has been out for a while now Ben. I’ve seen it in a few gamestations.

This has finally got a UK release date of 22 May.

In response to Stewart’s feedback, Official Nintendo Magazine also gave Crazy Mini Golf a low score of 35/100.

You may make accusations of prejudice, but it’s normal to mention past games from the developer in a review. This has nothing to do with the score.

Looking at Metacritic, these low ratings are not uncommon…

“The redeeming thing about Myth Makers: Trixie in Toyland is that it’s difficult to find in stores.”
IGN on Myth Makers: Trixie in Toyland (1.4/10)

“One of the worst games ever created.”
Gamespot on Anubis II (1.5/10)

“These are dross of the highest order. Rip offs at budget price.”
Eurogamer on Anubis II (1/10)

“Easily one of the worst games for the Wii.”
IGN on Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing (2/10)

You people, are exactly whats wrong with gaming. This game has no soul, it was created directly for a market thats already stupidly saturated. Stop acting like this is your little baby and try a creative hand next time. Create something original and intresting then maybe i’ll bother to play it.

ps isn’t it sad about Jade Goody.

Hi DarkZero,
I’m disappointed you didn’t like our Crazy Mini Golf, your reviews are generally of a good quality, so I expected a better response to this game. Your preconceptions appear to have tainted your impartial review. This title is part of our newer range of titles which have improved quality and detail and address the criticism of previous titles. It was designed with a 5 times British champion Mini Golfer and it really is the best and most accurate club swing. Your review of Tiger woods which is a worthless any-movement any-direction, it works even if you flick it up, down,left right or backwards, yet you praise EA for a good first attempt (at 60 quid they should get it right! – we did!) Our club swing was designed along with the British world champion mini golfer, and it requires the correct swing motion. Please try again take the club and give the smallest slowest tap and this is exactly re-created, we interpolate the angle of rotation and teh motion sensor, ALL other games only use the motion, so they require a big swing to work. Wii golf can’t do this, as it also only detects a big motion, our sim mode is the most accurate and relaistic for small or large swings. We are trying to do better, if we had EA’s budgets we would already be a million times better, encouragement and a fair balanced review would help next time. Thanks. Also mention the interactive environments, fire flys, birds, boats, whales, lit swinging laterns, interactive elements with the fans blowing the balls, animated levels and the other players NuYus are interactive on the levels being able to encourage or mock you. This deserves a better non prejudiced review.

Spot on. It is baffling that a game so bad would force you to play it well in order to unlock 75% of the content. Who in their right mind locks three quarters of a game? That by definition is the opposite of casual, which this game pretends to be. Shame on Nintendo for licensing this garbage.

the telescopic golf club peripheral you mentioned does not work for lefty’s. I wish the game did state that there was no left hand support and I would have stayed away. funny you mentioned the unlikeliness of someone staying away from purchasing this game because it does not offer left hand support. You must be right handed.
