Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational Arrives Tuesday For PS3 on PSN ($19.99)

Haven't bought this yet. Still playing OOB. One thing I've noticed in videos I've watched of WI is how short the holes seem to be. I've seen alot of Par 5's where the people are hitting a 9 iron into the green on their 2nd shot. WI seems to be more power based where you can hit long drives and just have easy wedge shots to the green. Not to mention the courses don't appear to be that difficult. Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't played WI yet.

It's because theyve ruined it a bit with paid dlc. You can only get up to level 3 clubs/balls by unlocking them. Level 4 and 5 MUST be boughten to acquire. And why buy level 4 when you can just go and buy level 5 right away. Basically by doing this it's pay to win and anybody with these purchases can drive the ball like crazy. I like to stick to lower clubs for more of a challenge.

Also there are a few challenging courses that are tough no matter what equipment you're using.

When did they release DLC? I'm wondering if they also did for the Vita version.

Anyway, this was originally created for Vita, so I don't know if that has anything to do with the course difficulty. Some of them got kind of hard though, especially with high winds and tough hole locations.

Not sure how long it's been out but if you buy it you get PS3 and Vita versions of it.
