In the second of a few short mini-reviews for games you can get in the Apple App Store, I am taking a look at Pocket Mini Golf 2, from Chillingo Ltd.
PMG2, as I’ll call it, is surprisingly enough, based on Mini Golf ! Here’s the official breakdown on what the game is about:
I have to let you in a little secret – Mini-Golf games are my favourite genre of casual games – the fact you can pick it up, control it easily, but it still requires some skill, is I think the perfect mix! PMG2 is no exception – I was wondering how the isometric controls you often need in these games would translate to a touchscreen, but the best test (just pick it up and see if the buttons come naturally to you) was passed well!
The graphics are not outstanding – but then again, they don’t need to be – they just need to show you where you are going with the ball, and if you sink it – kinda like a pool simulator game, the enjoyment is more in the skill of sinking a ball with a great shot!
Overall then, a great game – granted, I’ve not tried too many others from the veritable plethora of other games on the App store, but as a standalone this is well worth the £1.79 I invested in it.
Conclusion: Well recommended
