 Real World Golf - Mad Catz So I just got Real World Golf from Mad Catz today. It uses the GameTrak Game System controller which is something I think we saw at last year's E3. I didn't think that thing would ever see the light side of cash register, but it's here. Unfortunately, its first foray into my living room is attached to a golf game. In case you didn't already know, I'm not a huge fan of golf games. And, as golf games go, this one is particularly boring.
Luckily, it uses a pretty cool controller. For me, cool controllers make any game playable. At least for a few minutes.
OK, truth be told, the game is still boring, but this really is a cool controller. I'm pretty sure one of the demos we saw with it last year was a boxing game, though. That would have been infinitely better than golf. Still, the idea that the controller was smart enough to know that I was twisting the included miniature golf club was pretty inspiring. The downside here is that it would often get confused and think I was twisting it when I was holding the thing perfectly aligned and right over the base unit. Anyway, it was a cool experience. If I were you, I'd coax my rich friend into buying it so I could try it out for five minutes.
The bottom line, however, is that this sort of thing just makes me want the Nintendo Revolution more than ever. I heard today that they're gonna come out of the gate with about 20 games. I also read that they know they need to have killer launch titles - none of that Luigi's Mansion crap. I just know that Nintendo is hiding the best Mario game ever up their sleeve, and I am getting more ready by the day to put my entire tax return into that system. I still don't have my own XBOX 360, but if I don't have at least two controllers and five games for the Revolution the day it comes out, something's very wrong, people.
