Outlaw Golf 2

Certainly, the goofy premise has warranted a sequel, but don't mistake Outlaw Golf 2 as an outstanding golf game.

There's something to be said for games aimed solely at guys. Maybe it's the scantily clad women, or the juvenile antics that you perform, or even the wackiness injected into a sport that's normally seen as reserved.

It's some kind of formula that guys of all ages are attracted to, and in this golf game, it's the combination of all three. Too bad that's all there is.

At its core, Outlaw Golf 2 continues the outrageous mischief on the golfing green right where the first one ended. You again play as colorful golfers from all walks of life, including a wannabe rapper, motorcycle babe, and suave gigolo. Part of the fun is to watch everyone's humorous club swings and to listen to their foul mouths after shanking a ball. Sadly, the jokes start repeating after the front nine.

Similarly, when it comes to Golfing 101, Outlaw Golf 2 fails. While the tried-and-true analog stick swing remains solid, the rest of your swings are misplaced with the troubling Composure meter and an impossible-to-read putting green. Forget about consistent pitching and flopping--balls can go awry at any given time.

To its credit, Outlaw Golf 2 does contain a host of varied ways of to play golf (including Xbox Live support) and lots of imaginative mini-games to mix up the gameplay. Still, it's not enough to even make par.
