Is golf real still that popular?
Every year sees the increase in computer game sales and every year it seems the only people really watching sports like golf and tennis are people that play them. How close are the comuter games compared to the real sports? Do you really get any excercise at all from playing the sport in this way? The answer to this question is . . . perhaps. Obviously if you are buying say a golf game for the 360 or PS3 it is not going to do anything apart from save you money on one of those electric golf trolleys.
On the other hand if you were to purchase one on the Wii the only thing you are missing out on is the walking aspect of the sport. A lot of the pro's in golf do not bother to even walk the course as it is so how much are you really missing out on. Game developers are really keen to keep making the sporting games as realistic as possible and the Wii is able to take advantage especially from this using its motion control way of playing games. When you are playing the games it actually feels like you are playing the real thing which is especially true for sports such as golf and tennis. The new Wii atachment is out later this year which is going to put motion sensing technology at an even better rate than it already is now. This means game developers will certainly be more inclined to make the games for the Wii even more realistic than before. Is this really having any affect at all? It is a great idea for all the people who simply cant afford to go out and pay loads of fees. No need to even be dressed in your best golf gear to play golf on any of the consoles, a great idea.
I really do love games, but I personally think that they should stick to making the games that people that play them like and leave the sporting ones out of it. It would be a great shame to see the people who start up playing sports and become big starts to decline due to the fact games are becoming ever more realistic and more entertaining.
So next time your stuck between going out in the rain for a round of golf or plugging in the Wii for a bit of a game, stop and think, the real thing is always better so charge up those golf batteries and get playing!
