That brings us to the online stuff. Clap Hanz has put together a very satisfying online component to the game, where you can play with up to eight players in a single game, or up to 50 players in a tournament. When you hop online, you'll be taken into a 3D lobby (of which there are different themes) where you can walk around with your custom avatar and chat it up with other players. You have a pretty decent selection of things to customize your avatar with, like different hairstyles, clothing options, accessories (like backpacks or glasses) and more. You'll unlock quite a bit of these things as you play through the single-player game, which is cool.
When you're in the main lobby, which, like the tournaments, support up to 50 players, you can walk around and talk with others before hopping into a particular game lobby that someone (or you) has set up. Unfortunately, voice support is not in the game, be it in the lobby or while on the course, which is certainly unfortunate. You can use a USB keyboard or the in-game keypad to type, or you can use the quick messaging system for basic stuff, but your options here aren't all that great.
Once you're in an actual game, you'll find that everyone plays at the same time. Other players don't actually interfere with your play, and you can actually toggle them on or off at will by clicking one of the analog sticks, but it's pretty awesome to watch other players play at their own pace next to you without feeling rushed. There's a time limit for each hole, of course, but the only waiting you'll do is at the end of each hole while the others finish their play. This design eliminates the need to either watch every player take their turn or play on your own without actually seeing the other players. It's a great in-between that works really well.
Sve u svemu, poslužiti će kao dobar odmor između utrkivanja ili napucavanja
