i really like this game. i think that it is a combination of 3d golf and bowling and a little marble ultra blast thrown in there. the cheevos are a bit far fetched, collect ALL the stars on one course?!?! you have GOT to be kidding.
one thing that i do not like on the local MP, is that you have to pass the controller. we were also unable to sign in as 2nd player, etc.
it is a good family night game.
