3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures

Just make sure you turn the bloody sound off. [Issue#20, p.116]

While fun, the single-player mode is terribly brief. I played through all three courses a couple of times and found the hole-in-one technique for most holes in well under three hours.

A solid enough minigolf game; good for a laugh. [June 2007, p.95]

The course design is the real highlight within 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures, with gameplay that will frustrate until you figure out every detail of each hole, something that will take longer than most would care to spend with a XBLA game.

It doesn't really raise the bar or set a new standard, doesn't offer anything I haven't seen before, and is unlikely to make any converts. Considering who made it, I guess we can all just be happy that it actually works.

If you can get past the poor physics – or at least accept them – and you plan to play almost exclusively multiplayer, it’s decent. Otherwise, it’s not really worth your 10 bucks.

There needs to be more single player for the game, because Tournament just isn’t enough. If you have no Live and no friends, the single player will tire so quickly.

A lack of options means that 3D MiniGolf Adventures won't hold much appeal for the single player but when played with a group of friends it comes alive. Mostly striking just the right balance between skill and luck it can be enjoyed by gamers all of ages and abilities whilst also allowing for the better players to generally come out on top. There is the odd glitch here and there and it would have been nice had their been more than two courses (a third is available to download for a small cost) but six years later it is still a game I return to on occasion for a but of multiplayer fun.
