Planet Minigolf Demo Gets Move

One of the earliest PSN games to get the Move treatment patched in was Planet Minigolf, a title that had been maligned upon its initial release for absolutely horrible controls.

But if there's one genre that motion gaming has shown its benefit for, it has to be the sport of golf, meaning that support for the new controller would probably only make it better.

The problem was that there was no way to try Planet Minigolf with the updated functionality -- users who wanted to putt with their Move had to download the full game. You can't blame people for being skeptical... a new controller, a game they had never played before that was initially built for the Dualshock 3... PMG was practically begging for a proper demo.

Thankfully, developers Zen Studios listened and said demo now completely supports the Move. And on top of that, the new patch has greatly improved upon other aspects of the game: new camera controls, a practice mode, multiplayer for up to three people (online and local), scoreboard viewing options, improved voice chat quality, and various other tweaks and changes.

Zen would also like to announce their first DLC course, Stronghold Island. For an extra $2.49, you can access the new holes, and the new course-building options that come along with them.

Overall, it looks like Zen is ready to give their game a second push, and with Move support and all these new features, hopefully it'll take. If the upgraded demo isn't enough for you, they're also running a contest on their Facebook page. All you have to do is "Like" the game and reply on their wall with "PMG WINNER." Good luck!
