Overview

Play some of the most insane and...well, wackiest greens around in Mini Golf Wacky Worlds. What are some of these "wacky worlds" like? Grab a club and find out as you putt through islands in the sky, rivers of melted cheese, volcanoes, and a slew of other crazy and stylish courses. Want to play?

Features

mini-golf-wacky-worlds-levelThe game has over 36 different holes to play through and four different levels to play them on. Each one is unique and stylish in their own "wacky" way. There's a Gopher Mode where you must knock out all of the gophers. There is also a Pro Shop where you can customize your character and upgrade your equipment.

The Breakdown

The Good:

Instead of the same stuff you usually see in mini-golf games, this one throws all of that right out the window and makes up an entirely new playbook. The ability to customize anything in a game is a plus and this one is no different. Changing your character's appearance and equipment is fun and adds another great element to the game's content.

The Bad:

It has slow loading times and there is a very noticeable lag in between your shots and even in lining up and shooting the ball. Is it a deal breaker? I don't think so, but it is very annoying for sure. The graphics, while vibrant in color, are a little choppy and I've seen better on the iPhone. Again, this isn't a deal breaker by any means, but it's still an issue.

The Verdict

At the moment most people expect to pay only $.99 for most games. There are just so many good titles for only a dollar that it is sometimes hard to justify spending any more than that. However, this game is worth the price. There's a ton of content here to keep you busy for hours on end and if you are a fan of miniature golf games in any way, this shouldn't disappoint.
