Konami Golf

The masters of game design are moving into the GameBoy system with a new golf game. It's a huge (at least for GameBoy standards) 2 meg cart and with this extra memory they packed in 18 holes of very realistic golf action. Play in either the tournament mode, the Vs. mode against the computer, a Vs. mode against a friend, or a practice mode where you can select any hole and try it over and over again.

Every sports development team needs its own golf game, or so they seem to think. Konami is no exception and The Final Round is its answer to the call.

This game has little to distinguish it from the competition. Changing stances, clubs, and the like, are staples of all golf games, including this one. What The Final Round does offer is a slightly different swing meter which has you hitting the button three times for a stroke.This, however, in no way increases the skill level of a swing. While, for the most part, The Final Round is a good golf title, it pales in comparison with some of its competition due to the poor quality of its sound and some pretty ugly colors, which look like they're from a Warhol painting, not a country club.
