Neo Turf Masters -- a review by Dacalo

I am not too fond of golf games, but I decided to give it a try when I picked up a copy of Neo Geo Turf Masters. I heard a lot of compliments about the game and since it's made by SNK, I hoped that it would not be blend. In a way, my prayer was answered.

Graphics - B+

The graphics are well done, and considering that it's a golf game SNK did more than their share. The golfers look all different and the animation of their swings are well done. The courses themselves are mediocore, but they do their job. However, when the putt screen appears, there's a 3D screen with the hole and the ball. Pretty impressive for a portable.

Sound - B

Hmm.. Not much to say about music in this game. Then again, this is a golf game. The music is nothing to be excited about, although they change for each courses. The sound effects are well done, from swings to the ball dropping into the hole.

Gameplay - B+

I must say, this game is fun! I am not a golf fan, but I cannot stay away from this game. In single player mode, there are three options: Handicap, stroke play, and triple crown. Stroke play is for practicing, handicap is randomized game, and triple crown is where you play for the glory in three major tournaments. In two player mode, there are stroke play, match play, and trading. In trading, you can trade "Clubs of Legend" with friends. There are 6 different golfers with their own strengths and weaknesses. Also, the game is pretty challenging in some holes. You can save games between tournaments and even holes! The replayibility is high in this game. I think that diehard golf fans might find the game a little too simple. The game has more of arcade flavor than sports-simulation flavor.

Overall - A

This game is a cool little golf game. Anyone who enjoyed the MVS version will not be disappointed. Recommended for all gamers and sports fan alike. Well, I must get going, because I must win the tournament in Arizona!
