Why you can trust 12DOVE

In2Game’s first peripheral/golf game bundle Real World Golf was justly praised for its responsive peripheral (the glove-based Gametrak) and acting somewhat as a teaching tool for the real thing. And yet, two years later, here’s RealPlay Golf, fundamentally the same game as Real World Golf, only now with a less intuitive, less sensitive peripheral. It’s a massive step backwards.
The courses themselves are well planned and present some dastardly challenges; it’s just a shame you have to use the peripheral to traverse them. Its unbalanced response to the force of your swing is infuriating- though the club does become slightly more sensitive on low-impact shots, particularly putting. Still, the feel of the club is so far removed from the real thing that anyone hoping to improve their swing will be exactly that- left hoping.
