One of my favorite games for the iPad has to be Stick Golf HD. I love to golf, and while the game isn’t a golf game in the classic sense, it is a super-fun side-scrolling golf game chock-full of goodness. That’s why, when I stumbled up on the very new Super Stick Golf for iPhone, I purchased and installed immediately on my iPad… before I realized the game was optimized for iPhone, and not the iPad. Oh well.
While at the moment I’m playing the game in 2x mode on the iPad, it’s still pretty darn good. The game builds upon the success of the original Stick Golf title. Inside you’ll find all of the ‘classic’ courses from the original, plus, many new ‘super’ courses to challenge you. There’s 6 unlockable balls (the balls come with special properties, like the ‘sticky ball’, ‘ice ball’ and ‘super ball’), game center leaderboards and achievements, new obstacles… and a brand new 8-bit soundtrack. When you play the game, you can’t help but feel like you’ve sat down in front of your NES to play some Mario. The soundtrack is retro-tastic.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been told a new version is coming down the pipe for iPad real soon… and I can’t wait. Until then, I’ll keep playing the somewhat fuzzy version of the game on my iPad. So good.
Again, this is a must have for anyone looking for a very, VERY fun golf game. It’s a neat twist on your typical golf title. It’s dead simple to play, the graphics are solid, controls are simple… you just turn it on and ‘get it’ right away. For more information or to purchase, hit up the iTunes link below. It’s on sale right now for $0.99 (50% off).
