I never have been (and never will be) interested in golf. I think it’s a boring sport for boring people. I am, however, interested in golf that’s been messed around with. That includes things like minigolf and crazy golf (is there much of a delineation there? Answers on a postcard please). But there are also video games that use the fundamentals of golf to create something more interesting, like Cursed to Golf<\/a>, Dungeon Golf<\/a>, and What the Golf?<\/a><\/p>\n

Naturally, therefore, I was immediately drawn to Super Battle Golf<\/a>, a multiplayer party game that lets you go full Falling Down<\/a> on your clubmates.<\/p>\n

Designed for 1-8 players, Super Battle Golf sees you and your pals teeing off simultaneously, aiming to complete the course first by any means necessary. While you can theoretically try to win the game fairly, cheating is built into the experience.<\/p>\n

You can aim your shots directly at other players to knock them over, for example. Or you can run them down in a golf cart, shoot them with a gun, or blast them with a rocket launcher. You can even assume control of an orbital laser and blast them into the rough from halfway across the map (shouting “Fore!” just to rub it in).<\/p>\n
