Review On: Sony Ericsson w910
If you need to pass time on mobile phone, Mini golf is a great way to do so. Digital Chocolates Mini Golf Theme Park offers the serious gameplay of mini golfing with lots of fun and entertainment.
I remember the days of my OLD Sony Ericsson T610, the first time i every played mini golf on a mobile device. Graphics were dated, sound were polyphonic and game was very simple. Just try and get the ball in the hole with minimum shots.
However Digital Chocolates mini golf is become very interactive, complicated and challenging in terms of gameplay. With smoother graphics and better sound, one thought that these two could only be improved in mini golf game.
Digital Chocolate has done a very impressive job by adding lot of new challenges and features in the game. For instance your only mission is not to get a hole in one. There is a point system and boss defeats. There are 4 characters in the game you can beat. You can complete a hole with more than 4-6 shots and still get a gold (points system).
Some times mission are to collect tickets instead of just putting the ball in the hole first. These tickets helps you to use power ups gain later on during the game.
You start the game by Choosing your Character "Minny Golfer". As your progress in the same, you unlock other characters with better and different skills. This ads some re playability to the game. The stages are all very different and spread across parks, forests and other green expanses.
To success you need to complete and win one of the top two medals in every 99 holes of each of the 4 characters domains.
Once you have won gold or silver in all 99 stages you are able to switch the and control the defeated character and use their skills.
Lets look at the characters in more details:
Macho Mustacho
Skill: Brake
Amber
Skill: Love Ball
Swift Stroker
Skill: Jump
Dr.Von Putt
Skill: Magic
You have to unlock the secret powers which allows to put the brakes on the ball's movement, helping you avoid falling back down tricky slopes or off the edge completely, to Amber's 'love ball', which automatically drags the ball into the hole when in close proximity.

Conclusion:
Normally when you talk about mini golf, you simply think about the hole in one concept with the attitude "what else can a golf game offer". As stated earlier in the review the new features added in this game brings in dynamism and re playability to the mini golf genre. This game is very much recommended for not only all golf game lovers but anyone looking towards some fun gaming.
