Golf King - World Tour 4+

Mostly entertaining but some real annoyances

Quite an entertaining game with some creative challenges and the feeling that your results are (mostly) tied into your level of skill. BUT, some real annoyances: - occasionally you will be trying to position your shot and the ‘blue cone’ location will suddenly jump 90 degrees or more and, in some spots, you end up frantically rotating and shifting the view so that you can get hold of it before the timer expires. - sometimes the ‘suggested’ target is the other side of a large rock or tree and, again, frantic shifting and rotating to get it in a useful location before the timer expires. - one I’ve just had where the suggested target is *inside* a rock with no ‘blue cone’ to grab for repositioning. Shots wasted (and the game lost) trying to work out how hard to hit it to get a rebound that isn’t OB! - occasionally the game will lock up, or crash, and you *lose* because you can’t get restarted, reconnected and back in the game quickly enough to take your shot.
- having read other reviews about the game slowing/stopping your progress if you don’t spend explains the number of games I’ve won where *nothing* is added to my trophies. At first I thought I was imagining it but I wasn’t and now I have an explanation.

Bug after latest update?

I can now only see one club choice when selecting a club. This seems to have happened since the last update. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
The new, extra, random adverts are hugely annoying.
I feel I’ll have to quit playing soon as I’ve reached my limit on getting better clubs and I will NEVER pay actual money to get better ones. I get you need to earn money but please find a way to enable players to remain competitive. I can’t play the bigger games as I am simply outclassed on clubs.
Finally, it would good if one could disable the other player from making constant comments when you’re lining up a shot. I’m sure some do it to try and distract you.
Please try to accept my comments as I actually like the game.

Unfair

Collectively this should be reported to Apple in the hope that they can exert pressure on this company. It’s criminal. I have never seen such blatant dishonest game play. The whole emphasis should be game play, pitching you against a human opponent. Shots are so heavily weighted against you at times, it is impossible to win even when you are clearly the better player. The game will put you in the rough even when you have compensated for wind etc , your opponent will then just role on to the green. 9 times out of ten you will get to the green first and then.....you miraculously cannot putt the ball. We all get that ‘in app purchase’ games are designed to make money for the developers however there just is not a level playing field. As you progress you will soon discover you are not only playing your opponent but also the ‘game’. Shots are weighted against you, shots and putts that you would make normally mysteriously miss. The emphasis will be to put you back in the market for having to spend ££ in order to purchase coins. It really is unfair. This certainly is not sour grapes or poor play, I just have a major issue when things are ‘bent’ and unfair. Please, Please do not spend your money on in app purchases instead drop Apple a few lines until they get their house in order.
