Outlaw Golf 2
The
first Outlaw Golf certainly broke away from the conventional golf video
game that you had come to know. While there’s been arcade-style golf
titles such as Hot Shots Golf and Mario Golf on the market before, the
Mature-themed Outlaw Golf, complete with the ability the beat the crap
out of your caddies to vent your frustration after a bad shot, was a
different breed of golf game. The
game’s motley cast of characters fell right in line with the M-rated
flavor of Outlaw Golf. A sequel, Outlaw Golf 2, brings back the same
style of links hijinks, but bigger and badder. The best feature, aside
from the trailer trash hotties that are characters in the game, will be
online play. Although Outlaw Golf 2 is best described as arcade golf,
there will still be a tightening of the game’s golf engine. After all,
arcade-style or not, you still want a good-playing golf game.
Here’s
the official game info from Global Star: Features: The
shameless bunch from the Outlaw series returns to the repressed world of
golf with their outrageously twisted antics. 11
over-the-top characters turn boring old Golf into a rowdy and tasteless
display of uninhibited fun – scantily clad babes, wannabe rappers and
deviant thugs take to the course and give a whole new meaning to playing
from the rough. 8
extreme courses in total, each with their own dynamic weather
conditions. These include 3 newly designed courses returning from the
original Outlaw Golf in addition to 5 brand new environments. From the
arctic chill of Glacier Ridge to the steamy jungles of Aztec Acres,
Outlaw Golf 2 has it all, even a full sized miniature golf course and
driving range. By
playing through the tour and winning events, a player can unlock clubs
and balls to be used either during tour or exhibition play as well win
new revealing outfits to customize your character. 13
play styles to choose: from match and tournament play to time attack and
baseball golf. Anyone and everyone can grab some balls and spin, hook and slice their way into the action online with Xbox Live and the PlayStation 2 online adaptor, with up to for four friends simultaneously. In addition, Outlaw Golf 2 will feature online leader boards where players can upload their scores via Xbox Live.
Unique
to the outlaw series is the Composure Response System. Composure affects
the way the character plays golf. Low composure will cause the player to
have trouble making good shots, while high composure will allow the
player to make great shots with very little effort. Because of this,
composure can greatly improve or reduce a player’s chance to beat his
opponents. Features
a fighting system that lets you beat up your caddie to increase the
Composure Response meter. No other Golf game packs this kind of punch! Includes
a new cart driving system that lets your player perform tricks like
donuts, jumps, and slides in your players own unique vehicle as they
race to raise their composure meter. Features
customizable soundtracks via the Xbox hard drive. State-of-the-art
Golf engine – Pioneering analog swing technology now copied by many,
originated and perfected by Outlaw. Outlaw
Golf was a hit, so expect the sequel to get ample play when it arrives
next month. With plenty of great golf action and new courses, the
emergence of online play, and fighting, there’s no reason that Outlaw
Golf 2 shouldn’t do well. After all, it’s not every day you get to
play golf with a bunch of Jerry Springer Show rejects.
