If you enjoyed the original and are wondering if this is a worthy successor my answer would be absolutely there is plenty of new content, and the online play is quite the treat.

Pocket Gamer UK
Highly polished, finely-tuned, practically flawless - and that's just the golf balls. Open Tee 2 delivers the best portable golf game ever exclusively to PSP. Robust multiplayer tops a long list of reasons to pick up this hole-in-one.

Gamervision
Despite a few setbacks and no huge gameplay advancements, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 is exactly what a good handheld game should be. It’s good for long sessions at home or short games on the go, but once you start playing, you will not want to stop.

GameSpy
The more you play, the more techniques become available to help deal with the more challenging courses. The wide variety of unlockables is also a great incentive to keep playing.

The bottom line is that this is a fantastic value for the measly $30 Sony is asking.

There's enough new content to make it worth the asking price over the original, and the new online multiplayer modes take this one well above par.

GameFocus
For $29.99, this game is packed with features and gameplay to keep you busy for a long time.

IGN
Hot Shots: Open Tee 2 feels like well-worn territory at times, but it's a ton of fun and a ton of content that comes with a miniscule $29.99 price tag. Pick it up.
83
Game Revolution
Open Tee 2 is a pint-sized yet full-sized update to the Hot Shots Golf series that challenges its PS3 brother and ultimately wins. It has all the features of Out of Bounds but replaces the horrible Mii-like online characters with a slew of customizable parts and allows you to permanently upgrade the vital stats of the entire character roster.
82
Extreme Gamer
It is a no-brainer to recommend Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 to anyone looking for a quality version of the console game ported down to the handheld.
82
Gamer 2.0
Despite not much in the way of new, groundbreaking stuff in Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2, it certainly leans more towards the good side of the more of the same sequel fence.

Playstation Official Magazine UK
Delightful but requiring a deft touch to master, this really is golf for everybody. [Aug 2008, p.104]

Worth Playing
A very good PSP title. For veterans of the series, the sequel will feel very much like the three-year-old predecessor.
80
Level7.nu
Everybody’s Golf 2 continues the series trademark style of fun yet deep gameplay mechanics. Unlocking new golfers and seeing them progress is surprisingly addictive and fun. A sparsely populated online mode is the only major flaw holding this title back.
80
Cheat Code Central
This title is the perfect companion for the PSP and one I highly recommend. If you already own the original title for the PSP, it is still worth giving it a look because there are new courses, more collectibles, and an online feature that can't be beat.

Ultimately, Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 is still going to appeal to people who like golf games.

Game Informer
This game’s predictable ceiling is mitigated by the fact that it stands on solid ground. If I could find this much reliability in my real life golf game, I’d be in the same league as Tiger, too.

The controls might look simple at the beginning, but you'll soon find out that the game has more depth than you thought.

I'd actually prefer a minigolf version of this series on the handheld systems. Maybe that would get me worked up about a relaxing round of Hot Shots again.
