Hot Shots Golf 3 PS2
Game Information
Hot Shots Golf 3 takes the series of detailed yet accessible golf simulations onto the PS2. The overall look and feel of the game is pretty much the same as it's predecessors, taking the PS2's extra power into account. The same 'tap-tap-tap' system for hitting the ball is back. There are a number of different courses, characters, clubs, and ball types to choose from. New equipment can be purchased with experience points, which your characters earn by winning matches. Better equipment will ease up the games difficulty a bit by providing greater accuracy, distance, and control. As an addition feature, the game has an international ranking system of sorts. With a password from the game you can post your scores on a website, where you can see how you measure up against everyone else out there.

Additional Information
VS. Mode pits players against one of the 12 hidden characters in a Match Play format. Defeating a character unlocks him or her for play in the other modes. Stroke Play is also available on any of the unlocked courses, while Training is specifically targeted at practicing certain holes or lie conditions. The Tournament mode consists of multiple events and competitions where players can win items, trophies, and equipment as well as gain the experience needed to advance in the rankings.
Each time players participate in the single-player modes, they have the chance to earn Hot Shots points by performing well, such as keeping the ball on a fairway, chipping in from certain locations, and achieving par or better. Points are also deducted for mistakes, such as hitting the ball into a sand trap, so it pays to be accurate. The points can then be banked and used in the Shop to purchase new equipment, caddies, environmental items (such as crabs that crawl along a course), and bonus options.
While players cannot create their own golfer, statistics for each hole is saved as well as overall performance in such areas as longest putt, best drive, fairway hits, percentage of pars, eagles, and birdies, and other achievements. An overall ranking is also kept, which can be improved through winning various tournaments
