  There is a lot to love about Mario Golf: World Tour. For those that really enjoy the more light-hearted approach to golf that games like this and Hot Shots provide, this is a no-brainer. World Tour does so much right and mixing it with the familiar Nintendo universe seals the deal. Anyone with a 3DS has yet another must-own title to pick up for the handheld.

  Nintendo’s take on golf is as charming as ever and remarkably full-featured

  Despite some of the missteps, World Tour's bedrock gameplay remains a reason to check out the title. The 3DS' touchscreen is used to add draw, fade, loft, and drive to your shots, and it works well. Additions like this and online play show that the series hasn't remained stagnant in its long interval, but they aren't entirely unexpected, either. Mario Golf: World Tour is a welcome but not irrefutably triumphant return.

  Castle Club's lackluster design and content, plus the focus on unremarkable course designs, make a fine golf game feel flat, even with solid online elements included. A little panache and daring can go a long way towards standing out on the real-life fairways, and it would've done so here as well.

  Between the varied courses that are available, the multiplayer options and the excellent gameplay dynamic, Mario Golf: World Tour offers a little something to everyone, both pro and casual players alike. What it lacks in innovation (and in some cases, quality audio- your Mii sounds too much like a doofus), it more than makes up for with a swinging good time.

  Mario Golf: World Tour is a game that no 3DS owner should be without. Sure, it’s not the deepest of games in the handheld’s library, but the amount of fun that it provides is immense, and that is what is important. With a solid suite of online and multiplayer features, great use of the 3D power, and that simple but yet addictive gameplay, one can’t go wrong picking this game up.

  World Tour is easily one of the most accessible golf games out there. The various control options are great for rookies and pros alike, and being able to switch between them on the fly is a huge plus. The new power-ups are excellent, and the courses offer a lot of diversity - there's even one that's underwater for good measure. There's also a ton of great content here.

  Niggles aside, I’ve really enjoyed my time with Mario Golf: World Tour. Despite feeling a little light on main courses, there’s more than enough content on offer, coupled with a great online mode and the usual Nintendo visual flair. This is a game that will keep you busy for quite some time.

  Nintendo and Camelot have created an extremely accessible game that pulls you in early and doesn’t let go. It’s a great experience for golf lovers and novices alike and, despite small issues, one of the best sports games on the console. With a wealth of single player options and a well tuned online experience, not to mention the impending DLC packs, Mario Golf: World Tour is a game that begs for a permanent spot in your 3DS.

  Mario Golf: World Tour's single-player experience challenges you to perfect your game. It's a dry process that moves slowly while committing impressive attention to detail, though the inclusion of RPG elements could have made it more interesting. Versus mode lets you cut loose a bit and offers good times with friends.
