John Daly's ProStroke Golf received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [16] [9] Official Xbox Magazine gave the Xbox 360 version a negative review while it was still in development in the U.S. [20]
Brett Todd of GameSpot wrote that it "looks like a budget title despite a full sticker price, with a scarcity of options, a fair number of quirks, and pixelly PlayStation 2-era graphics. This isn't so much a full-featured golf game as it is a stripped-down tech demo". [7] Critics praised the accuracy of the Move controls, generally viewing this as the sole highlight of the game. [7] [18] [8] [11] Several critics considered Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 to be superior. [13] [18] [11] [19]
Reviews criticized the Career mode for its difficulty, as well as its minimal resemblance to a typical career mode. [8] [7] [18] [4] [13] The visuals received criticism as well. [11] [23] [21] GameZone's Robert Workman wrote that the graphics "aren't horrible by any means", although he found them inferior to recent games in the Tiger Woods series, stating, "There are too many instances when the visuals look unfinished, leaving both the golfers and the courses looking unimpressive". [18] Nate Ahearn of IGN wrote, "None of the texture work is very impressive and the courses are all relatively lifeless". [8] James Newton of Push Square was critical of "stilted animation, poor texturing and generally mediocre graphics" throughout the game. [4]
Criticism also went to Daly's appearance, [4] with Ahearn stating that he "looks like a pre-pubescent, chubby blonde kid rather than a golf superstar". [8] Todd found that Daly looked more like "a portly, middle-aged Dennis the Menace with a bowl haircut rather than the imposing guy that he still is on the tees in real life". [7] Some critics also noted glitches, such as disappearing balls and camera errors. [8] [11]
