Everybody's Golf 5 introduces a modified version of the "3 click" shot system. Instead of relying completely on the gauge at the bottom to estimate the strength and slice of the shot, the new system encourages you to use the actual character's golf swing to select the power. Once the strength of the shot is determined, the gauge disappears, and the accuracy of the shot relies on the player's timing when the club hits the ball.
Initially, there are six courses in the game, five beginner characters, five intermediate characters, five advanced players, and seven caddies. Shigeki Maruyama will become the second real-life golfer to become a playable character and caddy.
There consists of a story mode otherwise known as challenge mode where you compete in various tournaments and against other computer controlled players to increase your ranking and unlock various items.
The game has had a large graphical overhaul, with nearly every visual aspect becoming more detailed and realistic.
On 15 May 2008 two additional characters, Alex and Gloria, were made available for purchase from the PlayStation Store in Europe[4] and North America.[5] On 19 June an additional course, Oceania Resort Course, was made available for purchase from the PlayStation Store in Europe[6] and North America.[7] On 20 August 2008, the character Kratos from the series God of War was made available as a playable character.[8]
On 12 March 2009 Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet was made available as a playable character.[9]
