It doesn't take long to realise why this game has received so many bad reviews from the word go. Unlike the other FlatOut games, it seems cheaply made with odd looking graphics and weak gameplay. The only thing this really has going for it is that there are a wide variety of game modes.

The first 2-3 hours of this are extremely tedious. The battling is just a case of pressing X, X, X, X, X, X et cetera. It heats up a bit from chapter 3 but some more variety from the word go would've been nice. Compared to the old FF games, the battling is a bit messy to me as well with numbers, friends and foes being all over the screen. It's the most linear FF game I've played as well. There isn't a lot of exploring to do. 3.5-3/5

The story doesn't grab me as much as FF8. I like the 'realistic' vibe FF8 went for, rather than the big headed tailed characters in this. And I know that the junction system was hated on by many from FF8, but it feels like a step down not having it in this. The card game is confusing compared to FF8 as well, and the battle system seems more limited as well than the previous game. Everything else is great though.

Everybody's Golf 4 Very similar to the previous Everybody's Golf titles on Sony's previous console. Not much is new by way of gameplay, but years on it is still as fun as ever to pick up and play a round. Gameplay 5/5 Graphics 4/5 Sound 4/5 Difficulty 4.5/5 Originality 2/5

Everybody's Golf: World Tour Complete Edition There is very little new here that wasn't in the series on PSX. There is the addition of being able to use PlayStation Move, but why that and the normal controller mode are completely separate is odd to me. However, it is still great to play and definitely one of my favourite video gaming series.
