It's actually rather impressive: Clap Hanz took over for Camelot after the first Hot Shots Golf and never looked back, cranking out almost a half dozen full-blown sequels. Despite living and breathing all things Hot Shots (it's all the developer has done to date), the golf series has managed to stay interesting and engaging with each iteration. The move to the PSP suffered little -- if any -- in the transition and brought with it a ridiculous amount of customization and all the seemingly innocuous charm of the console versions just... well, portable. The formula -- cutesy characters teeing off and plunking shots along a course -- seems so simple that the game's now-trademark blend of easy to understand controls and increasingly deep layers of play end up being deceptively addictive. The second PSP outing added online Infrastructure play and a bunch of hidden items on the courses themselves, resulting in yet another improved sequel.
