Hey Tiger Woods… Maybe you should spend some more time playing this and less… (What?! Too soon?!)

Fore  By Cobra Mobile ($2.99)

An interesting take on the golfing genera, Fore! delivers a fun round out on the fairways and greens with a nice, simple, easy to use control setup. Cobra Mobile really delivered a unique perspective to this sport.

Presentation

While the graphics in Fore! might not be the worlds most realistic looking, they do have a certain amount of charm that goes with the cartoonic artwork.

From the easy to navigate menus to the lovely manicured grass on the fairways and greens, Cobra Mobile has really made this game visually appealing to the eyes. They even went out of the way to make different kinds of trees that sway actually sway with the breeze.

Controls

The controls are relatively simple and much more intuitive than any other golf game that I have ever played. On the bottom right you can tap on the picture displaying your current club and be tapped on to display a dial which you can choose a new club from

By tapping the golf ball icon on the bottom left, you can toggle between practice shots and the real deal. Along the top your presented with various information such as wind speed and direction, the hole number, par, and distance to hole. Also on the top left you have your power meter.

Where as in most golf games you align yourself up in the proper direction and then press a button once to start a power meter that determines the amount of power for the swing, and then a second time to choose the power that you want, in Fore! all you have to do is simply place your finger on the ball, drag back from it and then swipe in the direction that you want it to go. Its as simple as that.

Game Play

As far as game play goes, Fore! offers you the ability to practice on a certain hole, play a 9-hole round and playing a second player, both over Bluetooth

and by passing the device. What with its numerous different modes of play, its three different courses, and the achievements available in Plus+ (did I forget to mention that it has that?) Fore! offers a large amount of play time.

Suggestion

Is there a way to add a full view of the course? One that would show both the ball and the hole. For certain areas, it falls to chance and practice to perfectly direct the ball to around the correct hole.

Conclusion

For someone who isn’t usually a fan of sports games, especially golf, Cobra Mobile did an excellent job in making an experience that I love to come back to time after time and has provided hours worth of fun.

If you are even slightly interested in golfing games I highly recommend that you go check this one out!
