Playfish : Mini Golf Party Review

Ever played minigolf or wacky golf before? You have guess it, Playfish have come out with it’s 6th title MiniGolf Party. You can be rest assured of aesthetically pleasing beta release games. This by far the best release, quite unlike Bowling Buddies where you practice the skill and keep on practicing to get it right to win the award and Pet Society where wash and rinse the steps to get the coins.



In MiniGolf Party, you can choose different playing objectives. E.g. To get the maximum coins in each course and complete it. Or to get the least par for each course. Well, are you rubbing you hands and waiting to get started? Let’s go golfing!



In my first try out of the game I manage to complete the entire nine course and had gotten 2 awards from it. One for completing the course without giving up on any hole, another, ahem erm it’s for dropping the golf balls into water for 5 times. Actually, I did it on purpose, I really really want to hit the alligator and see if it would snap at the golf ball, seriously. :)

Direction and “power” of the shot is control by the mouse. (E.g. Long arrow line more power, shorter arrow line lesser power.) There’s a total of nine course right now with each course taking after popular city names like London, Moscow, Beijing, Rome just to name a few.

The game allows you to play all nine holes or to practice a particular hole individually. Good for perfecting the shots and test out the different ways of playing a course. Moscow is the most challenging course for me because of it’s rocket drop shot where you need to be precise to get the golf ball into the hole or it will bounce off the moon crater because of the force. Oh, by the way, I’ve found out that the maximum number of strokes in a course is 50. As usual... nothing new, I have tested it.



There’s a total of 16 different awards for this game, and I had manage to unearth 3 so far with 2 rounds of 9 hole game. Hey, I manage a par 3 on a par 5 course, cool right. You will love this game if you like a little challenge in terms of skills. Best of all you do not have to pay fees or have a handicap before you get into the greens, neither do you need expensive golfing gears ;>. I’ll share my gaming experience later. I need some time to gather my materials and thoughts.

Pet Society Game Review

My first thought about this game is that it reminded me of Tamagotchi, a handheld Digital Pet created in the 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. A small egg shaped gadget with buttons that allows players to perform activities like:

Feeding the Tamagotchi a piece of food or a snack.

Playing games with the Tamagotchi.

Cleaning up a Tamogotchi's waste.

Checking it age, discipline, hunger, happiness and other statistics.

It took the school children and adults by storm to an extent that they are taking care of their digital pet more than they are taking care of themselves. Keeping their pet happy, clean and not dying in between classes, work, lunch etc. I could still recall that some schools are actually banning it then.

With Pet Society, I gather it would cause less destruction to the classes, unless of course they have access to a computer and it’s hooked up to the internet. Since playfish is into social games, their games allow the character to socialize and interact with others. In this game, your pet can buy clothing and play dressing up, go shopping for items to decorate the home, participate in races, and walk around the neighborhood.

There’s a whole bunch of trophies to win, ranging from bronze, silver to gold. You can get awards for visiting friends, gifting to friends, play games, betting in races, participating in the hurdle races, buying x pairs of shoes, hats, clothing and more.



As you progress on clearing the different levels in pet society will get you bigger house, be awarded with better soap bars, balls, skipping ropes.


Currently it’s in beta mode and thus has only 23 levels. There are weekly specials and you can get items at fairly good prices from the shops. The award requires you to buy things to achieve it so the ability get coins are a challenge in this game, unless you have a lot of friends playing it. Where you can visit them daily and get coins from there.
