Description of Sharpshooter's Miniature Golf

When I was about eight years old, I played miniature golf for the first time. I was blown away. This was so much more clever than real golf. I decided I would grow up to be a professional miniature golf course designer.

Imagine my chagrin when I couldn't find an Ivy League college offering a degree in golf course design. I'm taking this personal detour to emphasize the fact that you should never give up on your dreams, no matter how unlikely -- or stupid -- they may be. There could always be a Sharpshooter's Miniature Golf in your future.

Up to four people can play this 3D course, where slopes, pinball bumpers, and conveyor belts all react with your ball according the laws of physics. There are also warp zones that react according to the laws of Star Trek.

That's all well and good, but what's really important is that you can use all the obstacles and greens to create your own course. The only limit to what you can do is the mercy in your heart. You can even change the MIDI music file that plays in the background. I think I'll make it "The Ride of the Valkyries."

  Strengths: Good course selections, good physics

  Weaknesses: bad aim, poor UI and perspective

  Overall Evaluation: To be fair, I only tried three courses and never finished any of them. This was due to the fact you couldn't 'aim' very well. The user is very limited in his perspective by a 90 degree quarter view and never from the ball's point of view. No overhead perspective made aiming next to impossible and since the perspective kept readjusting to zoom in on the ball once you tried to putt, remembering where the aim point was (imagine looking at a room from the upper corner, then aiming at something on the ground to hit a specific point on another wall) made playing very aggravating. Maybe a more patient person would enjoy the game, but I found it (and the lack of being able to turn off the music except through the computer's volume control) very frustrating. It's since been uninstalled. A good try, but definitely not for me. Give me a ball's perspective, and an overhead view, and I can do fine. The oddball perspective and clunky UI made the game too hard for me.
