Games Campus, developers of popular free to play MMO games, are behind one of the most popular online sports simulation titles available on the internet, Shot Online. Whether you enjoy golf for the challenge, or you want to play with players from around the world, Shot Online has it all. The game features courses based on real-life locations and it utilizes real PGA tour rules during play, offering a level of realism that you won't find in other online golf games.

As with other MMORPG games, Shot Online features in-depth character progression. As you play each hole, you earn experience points based on your actual performance, earning more points for successful shots, aces, birdies and eagles. The experience points and cash you earn on the course can be spent to increase the stats of your golfer, as well as purchasing new equipment such as clubs and balls.

Despite the cartoon-like appearance, Shot Online is arguably one of the most realistic golf games every created. Featuring a proprietary physics engine, every swing of your club takes in dozens of different variables. The animations and effects were taken directly from a Korean PGA golfer using the latest in motion capture software, offering a uniquely realistic appearance every hole you play. The ball physics are about as close as you'll get without actually stepping out onto a golf course, with the ground conditions and weather effects all playing a role in the movement of the ball. The realism transfers into each shot as players have to take a variety of factors into account, such as the amount of fatigue of the golfer, as well as the power, accuracy, lay of the ball and even sunlight.

There's a handful of golf games available online, but none will offer you the realistic approach available in Shot Online.
