Hot Shot Golf 5 offers an enormous amount of statistics that allows you to measure how you play versus the competition. Track game data through each round or compare skills in categories such as best average score, driving distance, driving accuracy, greens in regulations, par pace percentage, average putt length, holes-in-one, putting accuracy and so on. The amount of depth in the stat tracking system is certainly appreciated.

Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds is an entertaining and challenging experience. This delightful PS3 title should satiate the desires of gamers eight to 80 with its well-crafted gameplay mechanics, lush visuals and vast replay value (which stems from its immense amount of modes and options). Simply put, the title offers plenty of bang for your buck. This game really is “more fun than a hole in one.”

    I bought this game the day it came out here in the US, and it is awesome. Not only does the franchise bring back all the great stuff from previous HSG titles. The new golfers, and courses are great and the addition of the online is just sweet. Up to 50 player tournaments, chat lobbies and more. I recommend everyone pick this up. My only con if any would be there is no voice chat. I can understand it not beingin the 50 player tournaments butthe private game rooms with a max of 8 people is unnacceptable. Hopefully they will listen to all the complaints about that and rush out a patch. Beside that this game is well worth the price. If you buy it and wanna play hit me up my psn id is ajprice1016

    aj is right. the only thing keeping this game from being a 10 is the lack of voice chat. other than that, its great. most def a buy and not a rent. psn id makkalakka

    no voice chat doesn't bother me in a game like this.  The last thing I need is someone talking while I am playing golf.  I personally don't think it should reflect on scoring the game but hey, thats just me.   If it does reflect on such a tiny feature for a golf game, then your splitting hairs.

    Real good game I had HSG2 on ps1 traded it for a whopper and liked the franchise ever since.Voice chat is needed but 1)Its golf and 2)Its rated E which means my four year old son can play it and alot cats on the network have potty mouths.I give this game a nine.
