The Everybody’s Golf franchise (also known as Hot Shots Golf) has been a franchise for Sony platforms for well over 15 years now. The original game came out in 1997 and the franchise has since been released for the PS2, PSP, PS3 and now it makes its glorious debut for the PlayStation Vita. Does this new iteration of the series add anything new? Does this game take advantage of any of the new hardware controls of the PlayStation Vita console?

Phil writes, "Ever since premiering on the original PlayStation, the Hot Shots Golf series, or as it's known in Europe and Australia as Everybody's Golf, has served players with a brightly and bouncy golf game for players of all ages to approach. However, under that cute and charming facade lies a quasi-realistic golfing experience for players. This is both a blessing and a curse at the same time, as Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, the latest game in the long-running series, shows. Does Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational score a birdie, a bogey, or just sticks with a safe par?"
