This gives your character access to different techniques and abilities while on the course. Every time I beat an event, a heart meter will fill up, and my Loyalty level rises when it's filled completely. For example, let's say I play as Rio quite a bit. There is also a Loyalty system in place that rewards you for sticking with certain characters. You'll start with two, and unlock more as you defeat them in special "VS" matches. HSG:OT features 10 different likable characters. You'll level up different attributes for your character the more you play with them, as well as unlock higher-class clubs and balls (you'll even unlock a frying pan that you can use as a club). Other rewards directly improve performance. Most will win you an accessory or clothing item, and these vary from scarves to a wind-up prop to put on the back of your golfer. Almost every completed event will gain you a variety of rewards. This mode has you climbing through the ranks (10 in all) by playing through various tournaments and matches against rival golfers. The bulk of HSG:OT lies in the single-player Challenge mode. Everything down to the little "Kplunk" and "Splish" bubbles that appear above your ball to indicate sounds screams personality and a certain uniqueness in style. The graphics are bright and vivid, the characters are funny, and there's a bevy of goofy costumes and accessories to be found. ![]() Immediately upon starting the game, you'll notice that HSG has an unmistakable charm about it. It isn't so much one specific thing that makes it great, it's the way everything comes together in such a perfect portable package. Upon receiving Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee for the PSP, I went from a stranger to the series to a huge fan who has played 6-8 hour marathons of the game for several days in a row. What could possibly be so fun about Hot Shots Golf? ![]() After all, Tiger had the great analog control system, while Hot Shots had the old-school "power meter" style. I had never played this series, and couldn't understand why they would choose to play this game over the amazing Tiger Woods series. Regardless of your play style (casual or hardcore), you’ll quickly find a match to fit your golfing needs on any of the 12 courses and 11 new characters.Years ago, when I used to work at a game store, my managers were completely obsessed with Hot Shots Golf 3 for the PS2. After each hole, all the participants will line up to show off their crazy costumes, scores and swap quick one-liners with the preset chat system… throw down a full yo mama battle (ok, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit)! ![]() Tis true, now for the first time in Hot Shots history, all people from across the world can join hands (virtually) and hit the links for both 16 player friendly matches and blood curdling tournaments. ![]() With this in mind, we’ve also computated all the computations needed for a true global online tournaments experience, so make sure to set all PSP’s on Wi-Fi this Tuesday, June 3rd and get ready to open up and get to know your fellow Hot Shot Golfers from across the globe! Hot Shots internets ftw! We’ve got two wowtastic demos over at the PlayStation Store a nifty new forum space where you can discuss various Hot Shots Golf topics and videos up on Amazon and Best Buy - we’re fully maximizing the powers of the internet for the benefit of man/woman-golf kind.
