Both Outlaw Golf and Outlaw Golf 2 are golf video games developed by Hypnotix. The two games promise gamers crude humor and solid gameplay at a budget price.
Players take control of 10 playable characters, each with their own unique caddy. The series is noted for crude humor in regard to the characters. For example, Ice Trey is a wigger who is likely to bust out a rhyme to get himself in the mood for the game.
Unique to the series is the "Composure Meter". The better you're playing, the higher your composure - the worse you're playing, the lower. The distance on your clubs increases/decreases as your composure goes up or down, respectively. This is designed to simulate frustration, the more shots you miss, the more frustrated you get. The more frustrated you get, the more shots you miss. A solution to this vicious circle is beating your caddy, which increases your composure for each successful beating.
Veteran entertainer Steve Carell provides the commentator track in the original Outlaw Golf, and comedian Dave Attell provides the announcer's voice in Outlaw Golf 2. While both men's styles work within the confines of their respective games, the differences are quite notable between the two.
Outlaw Golf supports single player and multiplayer with 1-4 players, and Outlaw Golf 2 supports single player, online and offline multiplayer with 1-4 players. Outlaw Golf was released for the Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2 on October 19, 2002. Outlaw Golf 2 was released for the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2 on October 19, 2004.
