Gameplay

Super Swing Golf: Season 2 includes an improved story mode, with an overworld map that does not necessarily follow events in a set order. [2] On top of the multiplayer Stroke Play, Match Play and Balloon Pop games that came with the first game, two new multiplayer games were added to the party mode. [2] The game has largely remained the same beyond these changes, the addition of new courses, and various cosmetic tweaks.

The game has two different control schemes; either using the Swing control scheme with the Wii Remote used as though it were a golf club, or using the Button control scheme [3] which is similar to the Mario Golf -style of control scheme. [3]

Reception

The game was met with average reception upon release; GameRankings gave it a score of 71.69%, [4] while Metacritic gave it 70 out of 100. [5]

GameSpy gave the game two-and-a-half stars out of five, criticizing the game for being more of an expansion pack over the first game than a true sequel. [3] 1UP.com gave the game a B−, reporting that the game has surprising depth that can be off-putting to those just looking to have a good time. [6] IGN handed out a score of 7.3 out of 10, and reported that despite just adding incremental improvements over the previous installments, "Super Swing Golf: Season 2 is still the best overall golf experience you can find on Wii." [2] GameSpot gave the game seven out of ten, calling it a good golf game, despite the minimal improvements over its predecessor. [9]
