Game Description:Welcome to the World of Dangerous Golf™
An arcade style sports game with a very explosive twist.
Play through a variety of Indoor Courses – make a mess in the Kitchen, wreak havoc in a Palace, or cause chaos in a Castle and set fire to a Gas Station.
Rack up scores by causing as much damage and destruction as possible. Fire off a SmashBreaker. Blast the Ball into the Hole with an outrageous Trickshot.
Set off on a World Tour, play co-operatively in Co-Op World Tour, or try Party Golf with up to 8 Players.
You don’t need to wear loud trousers, funny shoes or a hat, or be a bore when you shout “Fore!” – this is golf for everyone.
Brought to you from the founders of Criterion Games, the people behind Burnout™ and Black™ – this is Dangerous Golf.
A smashing game for all the family.
Four Smashing Ways to Play
- World Tour – Embark on a world tour of destruction. Compete in 10 Tours that take you around the Globe. Unlock all 100 different Holes, each featuring different combinations of play mechanics.
- Co-op World Tour – Two golfers playing dangerously together. The perfect Couch Co-Op experience! Take turns to Tee-Off, Smashbreak and Putt. Players take turns but Scores are combined. Damage does not reset between turns. Work together to maximise scoring. Use one or more controllers.
- Party Golf (Offline) – Destructive golfing fun for up to 4 Players. Pass the pad and take turns to set the biggest scores. Choose the Holes to be played.
- Party Golf (Online) – Take on and play against the most dangerous golfers in the world. Up to 8 Players.
Four Unique Locations
- USA – Kitchen – Make a huge mess in the Kitchen. Splat food onto the walls and floor, break Microwave Ovens and Dishwashers. Break open the Store Room, access the Back Alley and trash the Bathroom.
- England – Castle – Cause chaos in the Castle. Knock down the suits of Armour, spill paint onto works of art and smash priceless antiques. Explore the Dungeon, Armoury, Queens Corridor and redecorate the Great Hall.
- France – Palace – Let them eat cake – but only after you’ve knocked it all to the floor. Break bottles, vases, tables, grand pianos and grandfather clocks. Drop down to the Wine Cellar, make a noise in the Library or break into the Secret Vault.
- Australia – Disturb the peace and serenity of the Outback. Set fire to the pumps, break all the windows and run riot in the store. Tee Off on the Forecourt, make work for somebody in the Workshop, spray paint in the Paint Shop, rock the Rooftop and light up the Alleyway.

Hit a golf ball at various objects, use the smashbreaker to ignite your ball into a thumbstick controlled destructive sphere and be king of the leaderboard amongst your friends.
Well that’s it really, a game that upon first sight of the YouTube videos had me quite excited and me deflated after the first play of a actual location.
Perhaps i expected a little more by way of ball control from the tee off except just hitting the ball in a direction, with no loft or real power control (except soft shot that i used twice)
No loft, control, slice or hook at all! really left me wondering why it was called dangerous golf, not dangerous ball instead?
So once you have hit the ball and it has come to a stop you should have destroyed enough of the beautiful scenery to earn a smashbreaker
Point and smash more then use the thumbsticks to direct the ball to do maximum damage, not really sure exactly how long it lasts, but make sure you are at least near or have a straight line of sight to the hole as failing to sink the ball in your final shot results in your score being halved!
Various objects and surroundings will increase your score from simple multipliers to huge grandfather clocks earning a huge bonus keep your eyes peeled and plan your smash.
The 4 game modes (listed in game info above) are okay but not exactly different, just a simple co-op mode as well as a party mode does not give this game the lift it should of had, different objectives and more varied content should have been on offer.
As for the online clubhouse, this throws you into a room full of people and you have to out score them, it add a nice level of competition but didn’t make me want to play more than a couple of times, as realistically it was still the same thing over and over. The only nice part was the randomness of holes.
Visually they have done a great job, just about everything looks good and the music is mostly very catchy and getting you built up for it, but it’s repetitive and unfortunately this also sums up the game. 10 holes in and I was bored and had no inclination to go and try to beat any scores or increase my scores, even when the game changed a little offering a kind of skill level it felt more like a chore than enjoyment.
SUMMARY
Had this included some actual golf elements other than a ball and pin it might of kept me for longer but really and truthfully the first line of this review summed up the game.
