palindrome - A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. For example: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
Firefox's Dictionary.com Extension? Kicks ass.
I really wish, though, that they would have made the definition of a palindrome...an actual palindrome...if you know what I mean.

Nah, you just have a severe case of dyslexia.
I really the offline parts of the beta test. I just with their online could be much more robust...
Well, you could always just not use the headset. It would have been a great feature for playing with my old buddies across the country.bjork said:That's good. I don't want my ear to hurt from hearing "FUCK YOU, how do you keep winning?" and stuff.
Now I'll have to use my free night/weekend minutes and a cell phone headset instead.
If they did have headset support, I'm sure it would only work for the 4 player games. Having headset support for those real time tournaments (up to 50 players, or apparantly 32 players in IGN's review) wouldn't be feasible. But still, the game should have had some type of voice chat. I was disappointed by this as well

I was in the beta, and enjoyed it for a short time, until all of the waiting and shitty chat boxes got on my nerves, along with the terrible method of finding games and individual players. I play fast, and would find myself waiting for 20 seconds sometimes just for the next player to finish the hole.
I'll still get this for the offline.

Can you elaborate on the method of finding individual players? Is it really a pain?ZootedGranny said:
My #1 reason for getting online is to play with a couple friends across the country who are big Hot Shots fans.
Also, can you have multiple people play from one location online? Like two people on one PS2 vs. another friend online?

The online infustructure is pretty crappy. There's no buddy list whatsoever. I'm not even sure if you can search for individual players. I never really tried it during the beta actually. I think it only allows you to search for the name of rooms/games, but I may be wrong. Not to mention you can't even see who's online before entering in a game. My memory is a bit off though so I'm not sure if I'm completely right
I don't think so. 1 player per PS2 from what I could tell

In the beta, if I remember correctly, the only way you could find a player is if they were the starter of a game.

Has anyone read the EGM review? Can you elaborate if you have? It didn't fare as well there.

(nevermind)
The EGM reviewers moan at lack of analog swing and the game being too easy (Patrick 7.0). The scoring between holes in online play slows the pace of the game drastically (Dan L 8.5). The game is too similar to previous games in the series unlike Tiger which is making major strides every year, (6.5 Joe OPS Mag).
sign of impending apocalypse: game reviewers have been conditioned to enjoy ea's style of drek, and have even come to expect it in other games. i liked it better when they shilled for nintendo. and i didn't like that at all.
tiger woods is garbage. the mechanics are easily exhausted; there's nothing under the surface complexity. minna no golf is sublime. its crystalline simplicity belies considerable depth. i expect it's only superficially marred by scea's pointlessly, charmlessly localized characters.

Sorry for the noob question, but what are the changes from the Japanese version? Also, what were the changes from part 3 for that matter?

judging by the in-store demo: many of the characters have had their heads crudely replaced and their outfits redesigned. some have been replaced outright. the new voice scripts try way too hard for laughs, and the new voices are grating.
the japanese characters are offbeat and charming, with some really subtly observed and appropriate animations. for example the samurai character, musashi, will pull out a fan, laugh an arrogant laugh, and then abruptly put the fan away and turn very serious. it's really subtle, but it's really funny too. and it's been ruined in hot shots. the american characters tend to go for broad stereotypes and overt jokes, and are often just totally embarrasing and grating. oh, and their new heads are often ugly.
minna no golf 4 is the first one i've imported, and i'm glad i did. the characters are really much better, and i think they'd appeal to american audiences if they were localized faithfully. perhaps some of the female characters are overly sexualized, but other than that i don't see why scea tampers with the series at all.

drohne, will you be playing online? (or buying the US version for that matter?)
