Too Good to Pass Up
Although I've never played this Mario Golf game, I know this game will be a winner. The Nintendo 64 game had multiple modes, including tournament, where you play a round of golf against about 30 other players, get character, ring shot, where you hit par on a hole and shoot the golf ball through rings, speed golf (you're timed on a round of golf), stroke, which is like a practice 9 or 18 hole round of golf, mini-golf, and training, where you can practice any hole and change the weather and rehit single strokes. All this was great fun, and the multiplayer options were even better. You could play a match game, where the player with the fewest strokes on a hole gets a point, and you try to get ten points, skins match, where the player who sinks his ball in the fewest strokes wins the hole and gets a skin, and club slots, where you compete in skin match style and a slot machine determines what clubs you can use on each hole.
Camelot, the makers of the game, found that younger players had trouble hitting the ball on the old game, and now you can choose between the old controls, and a new setup.
The N64 Mario Golf game had a total of six marioesque courses (you unlocked the last five) and the new game will have real life courses and new marioesque courses for you to choose from, the latter filled with the familiar pipes, Chain Chomps, and fantasy links that float in the air. I've seen some screenshots, and the new game also has new characters, and there's always a character that works for you. They vary in draws, fades, and power.
I'm going to get this game no matter what, and if it is anything like the old Mario Golf game, it will prove to be a very, very enjoyable experience!

Best....Golf....Game....Ever!!!(well, almost)
This really is a great golf. I think that the only golf game that could top this is Mario Golf for Game Boy Color. Well, heres my mini review:

Gameplay: 9.5/10
Many improvements over the N64 original, including new characters, new modes, and a new swinging system, which, i might add, works very well. One of my few complaints is that the AI can sometimes get pretty cheap, but other than that its okay.

Graphics: 9.5/10
Very colorful and crisp, but can sometimes get a little blocky.

Characters and environments look very nice.

Sound: 10/10
Character voices are good and well toned, and the music is as catchy as ever.

Overall: 9.5/10
A very, very nice improvement over the original that will keep you playing for hours upon hours for the secret characters, star characters, courses, and modes.

SPOILER ALERT!!!: The four secret characters are Boo, Shadow Mario(from Mario Sunshine), Bowser Jr.(from Mario Sunshine), and Petey Piranha(also from Mario Sunshine).

I Took a Gamble on This One
I have never even played golf before in my life, and I don't really like sports or sports games in general. I bought this solely because it's a 1st party Nintendo title and it has Mario in it.

Fortunately, I now love this game! It was a little hard to get used to at first, probably because of my unfamiliarity with the game of golf, but once you learn the controls, it's truly awesome!
