Put 'N Putter

There's nothing like a good crazy golf game for a bit of handheld entertainment. And, as they say, this is nothing like a good crazy golf game.

Well, okay, so that's not strictly the case, but Put 'N Putter is seriously flawed.

The major, indeed the only, real problem with the game is that it is simply far too easy. And by easy I mean the player (unless he's an utter imbecile) won't even get a whiff of a Continue (Y/N) screen until the has completed about twenty holes and has graduated onto the Expert level. While it's nice to get a little way into a game before grinding to a halt, this is ridiculous!

Aside from this, Put 'N Putter does all the things a crazy golf game should, falling down in only a couple of minor places. The cursor moves rather sluggishly, and the courses could hardly be described as innovative. Worth a look if you're a really crap golfer.
