| |  | Golf Video Games | Home » » Tee Off | | | | | | | Description: | | The first golf title for the Dreamcast, Tee Off is in the vein of arcade-style golf games like the Hot Shots Golf series on the PlayStation. Players control big-headed, Japanese animation-style characters on vibrantly-colored 3-D courses. Shots are viewed from multiple camera angles--including some mesmerizing aerial views--with the ball leaving a fading trail behind it. While Tee Off does require some basic golf knowledge, it uses a standardized control scheme which even those who've never played video golf will be able to pick up on right away. In addition to customizable difficulty levels, Tee Off offers various modes of play, including gate ball (think croquet in cyberspace) and world tour, which rewards players' high scores by "unlocking" new characters and equipment. Admittedly, Tee Off isn't for devotees of more simulation-oriented golf titles, as they'll probably pass it off as kiddie fare. However, casual video golfers and those new to the armchair sport are in for one heck of a good time on the links. --Joe Hon Pros:
- Highly addictive arcade-style gameplay
- Great replay value
- Gate ball (cybercroquet) mode
Cons:
- Japanese to English language translation is weak at times
- May not appeal to fans of more simulation-oriented golf titles

Tee OffMar 12, 2008
This is a alright game to own. I was hoping it would be more like Hot Shots but still a fun game to play. Great game to play with multiple players. I'm not sure if I bought this game bootleg or not because it was in mint condition except there was no original jewel case or booklet that came with it and the game will only load up if I haven't had my Dreamcast running for a few hours. Like most other golf games it is fun to play and has a high replay value in my opinion.

It could be a bit more realistic!!Jul 01, 2002
.... The 4 characters say the same phrases over and over and I never felt like using up my memory card to save the world tour and unlock other characters. It's not like I was gonna win, anyway. I must admit, though, the 5 courses are pretty good. Japan is easy. U.S.A. gets me in the bunker alot. Scotland has alot of precipitation variations. M y ball always goes into the red clay in Australia. And Africa has a large variety of fairways and obstacles. Gate ball isn't that great because the gates are always in the same exact spots. Other than the graphics and the 5 courses, this game could use some improvement.

 Not for the serious golf fanJan 05, 2001
Tee Off is a fun game but diehard fans may find it disapointing. The game is based around fun and is easy to play and to get into. There are various different modes of play which improve the longitivity of the game, so you and your friends can battle it out to see who is the best. There is also an option to unlock new characters and new equipment though getting high scores.

 Waste of time for a GolferAug 09, 2000
I love golf games. Golden Tee 99 and 2000 are the greatest golf games out today. I think Tee-off may be the worst. If you are over the age of 10 and like to play golf, don't buy this game. If you are prone to dreaming about playing your dreamcast and can't wait to get home to play them, don't buy this game! The people at Dreamcast should have have sent this game out to pasture when the original version was delivered. Do yourself a favor, buy a football or hockey game for now, and wait until Dreamcast puts out a real golf game.

 Let's hit the greens!Aug 01, 2000
This game is the best golf game that I have played on any platform. Some of the computer players are a little weak, but it makes it that much better.I have played this game for hours on end. The graphics are very well done. I wish there was a better selection of players with better skills, but that's life. Perhaps there will be a Tee-Off 2 or something.. I can recall many a night staying up and playing this with friends to the wee hours of the morning. If you are an armchair golfer, this title is for you!
