In contrast to the realistic PGA Golf series from Electronic Arts, the Hot Shots/Everybody's series is known for its cartoony characters and pick-up-and-play gameplay, with a wildly varying art style. Known as Everybody's Golf in Europe and Japan, this Sony-published arcade-style golf series has been around since 1997, and is a popular title on the PSP.
Hot Shots Golf is an sports golfing game series initially developed by Camelot Software Planning, who would later be responsible for developing the Mario Golf series, and later by Clap Hanz and SIE Japan Studio beginning with the second game onward.
