Reception

Reviews for the game were generally positive. Praise was given to its art style and simple but effect game mechanics. IGN gave the game an 8.8 out of 10, stating "The line between cute and cheesy is a fine one, but the game sweetly balances this divide with a fine-tuned game engine the delivers a genuine golfing experience. As a result, this is one of the most addictive PSP game to date. It may have taken a while to get here, but this was definitely worth waiting for.

Open Tee is easy to fall in love with. Sometimes you'll shout for joy, other times you'll curse in frustration. But it's all Hot Shots golfing, and this is one of the most spectacular golfing games out there.[1] Similarly, CVG gave it an 8 out of 10, stating "Cute, colourful and extremely attractive to look at, the clue's in the title on this one and Everybody's Golf plays a near perfect round for general gamers, that could yet take big golf daddy Tiger Woods PGA Tour, to the cleaners".[2] Eurogamer gave it a similar 8 out of 10 score.[3]

gollark: I see.
gollark: This is just a bad implementation of a "boost converter", so just look up that.
gollark: The capacitor smooths the very wobbly lines into nonwobbly lines.
gollark: The transistor switches the inductor between being connected to the voltage source's other end and being connected to it only through the diode and capacitor and resistor and such. The inductor "wants" to keep the current through it constant. When it's connected to the other end of the voltage source, it's "charging", and when it is disconnected there is a voltage across it slightly bigger than the voltage source's voltage, which causes a current through the left side of the circuit.
gollark: I could also use pronouns, but then I would have to mention HTech™ at least once to make it clear.
