10 Video Games In 2021 Everyone Regretted Buying
7. Mario Golf: Super Rush
While few were expecting a solid gold masterpiece from the latest entry into the Mario Golf franchise, there was no reason to doubt it'd deliver the reliable goods and give players a time well worth their money.
Sadly, then, Mario Golf: Super Rush is a staggeringly lazy effort that charges a full retail RRP for a shockingly shallow, content-impoverished title.
As enjoyable as the Speed and Battle Golf modes are, there's a depressingly cynical lack of content here, from its boring story mode to its dearth of courses and playable characters.
Compared to the GameCube's more substantial Toadstool Tour, this feels like a step back in most every way that really matters, as though Nintendo rushed it out to plug a gap in major releases due to the impact of the pandemic.
Super Rush - a fitting title in retrospect - is surely an easier sell to those totally new to the franchise, but even then, you'd be right for feeling absolutely ripped off if you threw down £50 to play it day one.
If you're curious, rent it for a few quid or, because Nintendo is allergic to the notion of price drops, pick up a second-hand copy for £30 on eBay.
