Dangerous Golf dazzles with its impressive environmental destructibility and the general absurdity of its scenarios entertains for much of its 100 courses.

#9. WWE 2K15
- Release Data: Yuke’s/2K Sports, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Combat » Wrestling
The two things they managed to get right are the lifelike graphics and simulation-based style of gameplay.
And although the core mechanics have been changed for the better, the lack of the customization options and reduced gaming modes is a little frustrating.
Nonetheless, the fighting works well and you can quite easily get lost in the MyCareer Mode.

- Release Data: EA Tiburon/EA Sports, 2015
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Golf » Sim
This game looks really good and is flat-out fun to play.
If you’re the type who just wants to play a basic career mode and go against friends in tournaments, you’ll be thrilled with the game.
However, if you’re looking for something deeper like course creation or a compelling career mode with personality, you could be left feeling a little empty.
#7. Powerstar Golf
- Release Data: Zoe Mode/Microsoft Game Studios, 2013
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Golf » Arcade
Powerstar Golf isn’t particularly special, but it’ll win over the hearts of golf fans for sure.

Overall, it’s a gorgeous game that is fun to play and loaded with endless replay potential.
#6. The Golf Club
- Release Data: HB Studios Multimedia, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Golf » Sim
Your mileage may vary with The Golf Club, depending on exactly what you expect out of a golf simulation.
If you want a fast track to playing like a pro, then this isn’t for you.
If, however, you’re a proper golf enthusiast, then its realistic stroke play and potentially limitless number of courses could keep you hooked for months ahead.
#5. Steep
- Release Data: Ubisoft Annecy/Ubisoft, 2016
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Ski / Snowboard
The paragliding may feel boring to most people, but the skiing, snowboarding and wingsuit flying are exciting and well implemented enough.
The emphasis on open-world traversal over conquering specific events also makes this a game with a much more relaxed feel, but it still provides tons of exciting moments for those who are open to such a change.
#4. WWE 2K16
- Release Data: Yuke’s/2K Sports, 2015
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Combat » Wrestling
The reversal and pinfall systems, combined with the solid striking and grappling, helped bolster the gameplay, while the strong 2K Showcase and supersized roster also serve as major additions.
There is still much that needs to be done, though, in order for the series to match the other top-tier sports titles.
But as it stands, most WWE fans will enjoy this.
#3. EA Sports UFC
- Release Data: EA Sports/Electronic Arts, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Combat » Boxing / Martial Arts
The visuals are stellar, and the controls, while overly complicated, at least bring all the complexity of the sport with them.
And even though there’s a little bit of a learning curve, you can learn the game as quickly or slowly as you want, and will always have fun.
#2. EA Sports UFC 2
- Release Data: EA Sports, 2016
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Combat » Boxing / Martial Arts
EA have created a game that is noticeably true to its origins. And more than that, they’ve created a game that’s fun.
While UFC 2 has its faults, it’s a step further on the path to perfecting the MMA combat game.
#1. WWE 2K19
- Release Data: Yuke’s/2K Games, 2018
- Genre: Sports » Individual » Combat » Wrestling
Despite its flaws, WWE 2K19 is a step in the right direction for the long-running series.
The in-ring action is still inconsistent and will be as divisive as ever, but it’s easier to stomach when the game surrounding the wrestling action gives you more reasons to play.
