Guest Gorskar Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 How hard you hit the ball can be done in two ways: 1)tap the 5 key and watch the power meter build up, tap again when you think its right 2)press and hold down the 5 key until the power meter is at the right level. Let go and watch it fly. Did you want music in the game? I wouldn't. Agree with you about the wait though, that is a slight downer, but nothing I can't put up with.
Guest atonks Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 I got it. And i like it a lot So you have to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to refresh. So what? Considering it's playing on a mobile phone, it's very impressive. Lovely graphics, easy to control, tons of options and you can save it wherever you are and come back to it later. 9/10 (But only coz of the slight delay)
Guest tbrose Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 Wow, I love this game - it's even more addictive than tennis addict! Just took my first round - well finished +18, but finished the back 9 in par... I really think it's worth the $20 as it's a game you'll be playing for a long time... One small bad thing, as some of you guys have also mentioned, some more sounds would be nice. well, can't write anymore - off to play links :)
Guest gevans2000 Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 Demo now seems to be availible from www.hexacto.com. This could be old news but I tried it yesterday and got the password prompt. Now the prompt doesn't appear and I'm installing the demo now. Yep, all seems to work OK
Guest tomesy Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Is it me - am I being supid, or is there no tournament option here. What if I want to play a game against the computer. I've set up new players, but they all have Human writen against them. How do I make them played by the phone - or cant I? All I seem able to do is play a round on my own.
Guest James Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 do you have the full version or the demo mate?
Guest tomesy Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 The full version - brought it of Hexaacto. The only menu options I have on start are: Quick Start, New Round, Players, Player Stats, Resume and Credits. I tried adding new players to a round, but I only seem able to create Human players.
Guest James Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 i have not tried it mate, but i did not expect to be able to play against the 'SPV'.
Guest terminater2_uk Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Tried to load the demo, failed to load saying I didnt have enough free space and then froze my phone :)
Guest James Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Tried to load the demo, failed to load saying I didnt have enough free space and then froze my phone  :) the game needs alot of memory to run, you will need to have almost nothing loaded on the phone. unload everything you can using task manager or restart your phone and try again
Guest terminater2_uk Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 I haven't got much on my phone, thats the strange thing. Most of my software is on the storage card. The only things on there are the apps that need to be on there, I think :)
Guest James Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 what about lots of picture or large ringtones?
Guest karmapolice Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Anyone know if the extra coures are available yet or new players...top game...i still can't putt for sh*t tho... karmapolice
Guest terminater2_uk Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 I've got no pictures on there at all and only three small wavs that take up less than 1meg. Just found a failed install app though in installs folder that should free up some space.
Guest Gorskar Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Run taskmanager before you play, and check the status page. Also close anything you dont need. Another thing I noticed was that there were two fairly big files dumped into the root IPSM during play, which are not deleted until the phone is reset. (Although they may have fixed/changed that in the final version which)
Guest James Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Anyone know if the extra coures are available yet or new players...top game...i still can't putt  for sh*t tho... karmapolice Yep! Putting it hard! TIP: Practice putting by using the '0' key. Hit the ball as usual using the '5' key but before the ball stops rolling press the '0' key to take the shot again. Try it! (This 'cheat' method is logged on your score card)
Guest Gorskar Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 AH, so THATS how it works - that was the one feature I had no idea what it was or how to use it.
Guest tom2 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Can anyone explain what the numbers that appear when you press the action button when putting mean (ob the diag in top left corner) This may help!
Guest Gorskar Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 They are the distance from you to the marker, and from the marker to the hole
Guest tom2 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 I presume your aim is the marker - how do you get any idea of gradient (left to right) - the grid is not very insightful While on the subject - any ideas on how to judge pace on a putt? It is one of the only downsides of the game I have found - you gan get to the green in respectable number of shots but not get the ball anywhere near the hole!!
Guest fozzie Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 The white line at the base of the marker indicates direction and gradient of slope. The longer the line, the steeper the slope.
