Namco Open for SFC


Image: MobyGames

Namco Open

So close


Genre: sports - golf

Publisher: Namco

Year: 1993

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Could've been great. Putting is perfect but big hits with the woods or irons are completely horked because you have so little control over your aim! You can only move the reticle to ten fixed positions. This isn't true when using a wedge or putting so I don't know why they did this! It would've been a 4 if they had fixed that one issue.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

No complaints on the courses and modes, although you'll need some translation to navigate the menus.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Lovely ambiance. You pick your character and your face shows your current mental state. Your caddy (a hot girl that you pick) gives you encouraging updates after each stroke.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Graphics are as good as it gets in a 16-bit golf game. The view when hitting the ball is admittedly a little strange but in a charming way.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Lovely music abounds. Typical Namco goodness


Overall Score: 55

Review ID: 1763
