  1. Nintendo swings with the stylus in a rather bland day on the green.

    The inaccuracy of the swing and shot placement turns into a severe handicap for the game. True Swing Golf is passively entertaining, but won't suck anyone in as quickly or for as long as Hot Shots is able to. Read more

    Unique again, multiplayer also incorporates pichtochat, so you can "accidentally" interrupt buddy's concentration by sending a quickly scrawled taunt during that otherwise sacred quiet time known as the back swing. Pretty funny. Read more

    With the unveiling of the Wii and the many golf games therein, it’s a little hard to remain excited about “stylus golf” when the real deal is so close. But whether you just want a game of golf for the road or refuse to buy a Wii for whatever reason, True Swing Golf is the best of its genre on the DS. Spot-on stylus control really changes the way I think about video golf games now. However, I’m surprised Nintendo is asking $35 for what they are deeming a “touch... Read more

    Developer – T&E Software Publisher - Nintendo Features Wireless DS Single-Card Download Play Wireless DS Multi-Card Play Touch Screen Compatible Some of my most memorable video golf gaming moments have been with a few of Nintendo’s handheld consoles. Mario Golf is what sticks out most in my mind, from the GBC version to the GBA version. I have been eagerly awaiting a DS version of this classic game but there has been no talk of it being in development. So,... Read more

    Or better yet, don't. True Swing Golf 's attempt to revolutionize video golf swings and misses thanks to its oversimplified control, marginal delivery and uninspired play modes, so we recommend saving your cash for a cleaner, harder course. Read more

    This game is so cool. You use the touch pad pen to swing the club at the ball so bassically you introduce human error back into the game of golf. Of corse it is easier to hit strait on the game than it is to hit a golfball in real life, I should know as I am not good at real life golf. The graphics are pretty good and lining up shots is nice with all the different perspectives and terrain slopes. If you like golf games, you will have a fun time with this one. Just be... Read more

    True Swing Golf is one of the better examples of just what can be done with the touch screen on the Nintendo DS. Take your average golf game, replace clicking a swing meter with using the touch screen to simulate pulling back and swinging a club, and ... Read more
