GameZebo: Earlier the summer Gameloft had a hole in one with their sublime yet cartoony golf game Let’s Golf 2. Now the publisher is looking to take a more serious approach to one of the world’s oldest games with the upcoming release of Real Golf 2011 for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
AppVee - I have actually been pretty surprise at how little quality golf games there has been in the app store. To often the game turns out to be a simple putting app or a cartoon arcade game. While all of these have potential to be great games, real golf is hard to find. That’s where Real Golf 2011 picks up the torch.
148apps - Given the recent scandal facing Tiger Woods, it would seem to be the perfect time for an upstart new golf franchise to come knock the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series down a peg or two. Gameloft fancied Real Golf 2011 to be just that game, but this one comes up short of the flag and finishes the hole with a disappointing bogey.
MacWorld: As Tiger Woods PGA Tour dominates the golf game genre, it’s hard to remember there are other golf games out there. But Gameloft’s Real Golf 2011 proves there's more to the genre than Tiger. Real Golf 2011 for the iPhone offers realistic golf mechanics, stunning visuals and multiple gameplay options. Its touch interface could be improved, but overall the game is a worthy rival to the EA juggernaut.
