I’m going to be honest with you, going into Activision, this was the game I was least looking forward to playing. Golf to me is an extremely boring sport, and playing golf games isn’t really much better. Despite going in with these low expectations, I actually ended up quite enjoying this game.

The game is being developed by Camelot Software, which should be familiar to anyone who has played the Mario Golf series. The controls utilise the Wii-mote as the club. Hold down the B trigger to practice a swing, and the A button will go for a real swing. Like Wii Sports golf, you pull back to bring the club back, but to hit the ball, you wait until the cursor moves back to the start of the bar before swinging down. It’s a bit awkward at first, but after a while it becomes incredibly fun and provides a more rewarding experience than the Wii Sports version.

I played Wii Sports golf when I got home to see how We Love Golf would stack up, and it is a much better game overall. Of course, you can’t use your Mii, but there are a handful of characters to choose from, with changeable costumes. You can unlock more including some classic Capcom characters and Capcom costumes for other characters. We played by taking turns at each hole, but the real fun would come about from playing multi with a group of mates using different characters. It would be a great game for drinking and talking trash!

The game is also extremely cute. The colours are bright and vibrant and it really adds some charm to the game. It’s easy enough to get into, but if you put the time in, you can muck around with topspin and backspin, as well as fade and draw.

So all in all, the game looks like it will be a fun golf experience for the whole family!
