Originally, the iGolf app was released last week and has since seen over half a million downloads. In its basic form, you could go to the virtual driving range, choose a club, assume your best golf stance, and take a swing.
Today, SGN is issuing new par 3 and 4 holes and additional control features to the game. The application leverages the iPhone’s accelerometer technology for gaming, and could strike fear into the hearts of Wii players worldwide who remember their Wiimotes divebombing their TV sets a couple of years ago.
Be smart. No greasy McD's french fries before iGolf.
“The launch of iGolf for iPhone marks a new era for SGN as we focus on integrating social gaming into a mobile platform to push the boundaries of the gaming experience for gamers and enthusiasts alike. Social networking features such as the viral nature of the game and the ability to challenge your friends has helped catapult it to the top of the iPhone App Store list,” said Shervin Pishevar, CEO of SGN.
By October 1st, SGN also plans to add left-handed controls and new audio controls that will allow players to set ‘applause’ sounds and the authentic ‘thwack’ sound made when the club hits the ball.
