World Golf Tour Dominates Console Rivals

Having been ill for the past month I have had the chance to test out the fantastic new online golf game from the folks at “World Golf Tour” (http://www.wgt.com)

Being a huge Golf fan (thus the blog) I have played all the console golf games in existance but so far none stand up to the experience of World Golf Tour.

Admittedly, I was overawed by the graphics, sound and dashboard to start with but it only took me a few minutes to set up my profile and play my first match. The scenery is so realistic down to the last shadow.

I felt like I was actually on the course which is something I find that the console golf games somehow don’t manage to achieve. A lot of the controls though are similar to what you may have experienced in other golf games except for the “power” button (the amount of oomph! you want to give the shot) and the “club choice” (which club you would like to play for which shot)  which took a little to get used to but I now find them way more practical than the options provided by the competition.

World Golf Tour has also stepped up the excitement level in comparison to their rivals by offering real time tournaments which one can play for free or for a modest fee. It costs absolutely nothing to sign up (and play which was a relief from other companies that advertize free games only to find out after signing up that you have to purchase credits.) and you can play as often as you like.

But be careful because World Golf Tour is highly addictive due to it’s realistic feel and it will be hard to pull your self away from the screen. Another added bonus is that since you are playing real people online it will give you the chance to do some networking and make new friends in other countries. If this doesn’t lead to new business partners it will definitely offer the possibility of having a golf vacation in another land and the chance to share your passion for golf with other enthuastists around the world.

I highly recommend giving this game a shot! (excuse the pun!)

It’s free to register so you have nothing to lose and a world of new possibilitiesto gain.
