As I mentioned before, this really isn’t the same as Tiger Woods golf, it’s more of an arcade golf title. You earn points with excellent drives -- called Pangya shots which you can then use in the store to buy items in the shop.

Graphics are passable – nothing awe inspiring but enough to get the job done. Load times aren’t bad but I feel as though they could be better. The sound is also merely passable. The background music can get annoying and there isn’t much in the way of voice overs – in the story mode, its read and scroll the dialogue, which is a bit of a disappointment for a console game released in 2006.

The story mode is fun, but the game I have played the most is Balloon Pop with my son. My son, who doesn’t enjoy real golf at all, loves this game. The course is covered in balloons and you have to hit them with your ball – some are high in the air and others are down on the ground. You have to get the right trajectory on the course to get them all – and sometimes the balloons aren’t in the places you would normally try to aim for, so it adds an extra challenge.

Without any online component or downloads, what you see is what you get. The package as a whole isn’t bad and has some replay value, but the putting can get as frustrating as playing real golf – keep that in mind, because if you are trying to relax, you might have a spike in your blood pressure instead as you miss that 2 foot putt.

Super Swing Golf is a cute golf game with an interesting story mode, but does not add anything new to the genre aside from the Wii-mote gameplay. It’s primarily for arcade golf fans, but it’s definitely worth a rental.
