Well, here goes.
Gameplay
Excellent, lots of fun and easy to learn. Basically, one could say this game is a mix between Marble Madness and Great Golf. Not the best idea of a mix perhaps, but that gets the idea across I believe. Basically, it's minature golf. You control an aimer to hit your ball and have to get past a variety of different obstacles. The graphics are quasi-3D (thus the Marble Madness), but very well done.
Controls
I had no problem here, so no one else should really. You move the aimer around to get the ball to where you want it to go, push the buttons to get the angle and speed, and there you go. Everything else is left to the fates.
Music
I dig it.
Graphics
As I mentioned, they're 3D, well meant to look that way. Since the SMS actually has 3D glasses that work, don't get excited into thinking you'll have another 3D game here, it's only meant to look this way. You've got the pretty water over there, little angular hills, the ball, obstacles. Pretty nice. Better than the miny golf course near my house.
Difficulty
Honestly I haven't played this game enough to know if it gets any harder later on, but the first few holes weren't exactly easy. It's not like you'll dish out holes in one on the first try.
Overall
Overall this is a great game. Not really sports persay, but definitely fun. Much more to offer than Great Golf anyway, and the only mini golf game I'm aware of for SMS. In fact, I don't know of any mini golf games, so buy a Power Base specifically for this. Putt and Putter your head off. Bid 500 pounds if you have to.

Y'know, I can't even remember plugging this one in. I'll try to drag myself away from the newly-arrived Power Strike II and give it a whirl...

I used to rent this out all the time from the video shop round the corner as a kidd, but I've never owned it, and I wasn't at all expecting you to choose it. It's just not the done thing.
It was always great fun though, come to think of it - a 'Summer' video game if ever there was one - but I think it was always best played as a tonic to something really action-packed. So I'm gona get a copy as soon as I can (don't know why I haven't already), and have it with homemade lemonade and chicken salad butties ;D
