Many of these challenges involve simply hitting the ball to designated areas, typically in specific ways that slowly teach you more advanced mechanics and tactics. Each course has patrons that will offer tasks the player can complete to earn experience points and cash. The narrative doesn’t get much deeper than that for the most part, and you begin working towards your first ever pro tournament while trying to make an impression along the way.Įven if you’re not a fan of golf or RPGs there is still plenty to enjoy here. Rarely do video games show tender moments between male characters or even contain father figures at all, let alone charming beginnings involving your in-game dad cheering you on while you’re putting.įrom there Golf Story fast forwards 20 years into the future and finds you estranged from your wife (whom you basically ignore to follow your dream of becoming a golf pro), and thus is the setting for our story about golf. Obviously, in my case, the role was reversed, but it’s still a story of male bonding in a way.
Not only are the controls simple, but the overall mechanics don’t get much deeper than considering on-screen information such as how strong the wind is and which way the ground may be slanted basic concepts that even those unfamiliar with golf can grasp.Īnother way Golf Story relates to my story is how it tells the tale of a father who is teaching his boy how to golf. Simply aim your shot, press a button to start a point down a bar that gauges how hard you’ll hit the ball, press a button at desired strength, then press the same button once more to decide whether or not you hit the ball straight on or slice it. Well, for starters, it uses the very same controls for the golfing segments that many of those classic games used.
