Super Swing Golf: Season 2 (Super Swing Golf in Europe, and Swing Golf PangYa 2nd Shot!! in Japan) is a golf video game developed and published by Tecmo for the Wii. It was released in the North America on December 11, 2007. It is the sequel to Super Swing Golf, and both are based on the Korean free online multiplayer golf game, PangYa.[2]
Gameplay
[edit]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]
