Reviews for Ernie Els Golf 2008 for iPhone
Reviews are coming in for Ernie Els Golf 2008 for the iPhone. Pocket Gamer has this to say:
With solid controls, great graphics and sound, it’s a shame that the difficulty curve isn’t a smooth as Ernie’s swing. Even seasoned golf game players will find themselves teeing off on the same event repeatedly because of a few botched strokes. Getting past some of the events takes practice and a relaxed temperament.
Ernie Els Golf 2008 satisfies with its wealth of stats and depth of play. It’s not a simple game by any means, but it’s fun and jam-packed full of details, so it’ll have no problems sustaining long-term interest.
Meanwhile, toucharcade.com has this to say:
The standout feature of the game is its swing control system, which is the most interactive of any iPhone golf title currently avaialble. As can be seen in the accompanying screenshot, the player is presented with an onscreen swing box that challenges the user to accurately connect with the ball by way of a fairly complex swing sequence. It works as follows: the player takes control of the club head with a touch, dragging downward to perform the backswing–but don’t drag too far or accuracy will suffer. Once a sufficient backswing is reached, the player must slide a the finger upwards in as straight a line as possible in order to contact the ball. Veering left or right will draw or fade the swing. It takes some skill to get right, which is really more than can be said about the other golf games in the App Store.
Ernie Els Golf 2008 for the iPhone is a $6.99 download from the iTunes Apps store.
