Hot Shots Golf World Invitational

Funny thing about the games I got for the Vita upon release. They’re essentially the same games I bought for my PSP during it’s release. So far I have Hot Shots Golf and Wipeout 2048 (which I haven’t played yet). Both of which I own for the PSP upon it’s release. Hot Shots Golf is one of those unusual sports games I will play over and over. I think I wore out the UMD of the PSP one since the top caved in. This version looks gorgeous on the Vita’ screen and I’ve been nonaddictive playing the online competition every day. One of the new features is a daily tournament where there are 3 courses with set rules to beat. Each day the scores are tallied and you are ranked. Right now it’s a pre-season so we don’t have much at the moment.

This game was the first test of the adhoc mode between a PSP and a Playstation Vita. I was more than surprised how well it worked. The advantage you get from the Vita here is the ability to reassign the right analog stick to the camera controls usually found on the D-Pad. Not that it helped much. I instinctively gripped my Vita in the unusual manner that allows me to control the camera with my index finger.

One of the user confirmed titles that hasn’t been mentioned in the official release. In order to install the game, it has to be downloaded to a PS3 than sent over to the Vita. You can transfer all your DLC too but since Valkyria 2 suffers from a poor DLC download setup, you have to download every single mission separately. Another thing to note, for some reason, the game will NOT transfer any code released content meaning you have to re-enter every code into the game again before restarting the save file you transfer. The same situation happened in Valkyria 3 when I moved it to a new PSP the previous week. I ended up playing a few missions with a friend which proved amusing since we steamrolled the enemies.
