Here we are on Alpine Resort's golf course, Hole 6 to be specific. It's a beautiful day for it; there's a slight north-westerly breeze, but nothing that's going to put me off my game. My polo shirt's tucked in, my trousers are belted, and my beer belly is overhanging. My Nike Tour Classic IV (Pearl White) golf glove firmly grips my mouse, and I tee off. Four quick Golf Gang shots later and I'm on for an Eagle, but then my mate drops a bomb on me, blasting me off the course and into the drink.
As my ball - a stylish, hot pink creation that is, of course, decorated with anime eyes and cat ears - is fished out of the water and reset, I am passed by several other golfers. One is green, moustachioed, and wears a small tree for a hat. The other, believe it or not, is a pufferfish.
With a solid suite of customisation options, Golf Gang is a game that not only plays good, but it looks good too. It's classic mini golf, all gussied up ready for a Saturday night spent with up to eight players, racing their way through six distinctly-themed courses - all of which boast a full 18 hole round each.
