REALPLAY Golf is a golf game with all of the usual types of mode (Stroke Play, Tournaments, Practice, Multiplayer, Stableford, etc.) featured. The real difference between this and the multitude of Golf games available for PlayStation 2 is that it does not support the DualShock Controller at all - it uses its own wireless motion-sensing Golf Club. Players are required to use the wireless club to take their shots using realistic golf swings.

There is a Driving Range and a Putting Course to practice on before setting out on a full round of Golf. The game is set amongst 8 courses, featuring environments from the U.K, USA, France, New Zealand, Scotland and the Caribbean. There is a range of A.I. players to compete against, each with their own personality and play style. These can be unlocked as reward for winning tournaments, achieving given feats or reducing your handicap.

A 3D style game inspired by ball-and-paddle games, such as Breakout. Super Glove Ball was designed exclusively for Mattel's Power Glove accessory (although it can still be played with a normal controller).

The walls in each maze room you encounter are filled with blocks. Using your Power Glove, you have to entirely break down a wall before being allowed to advance to the next room.

While trying to progress through the maze, your character will be under attack by a range of creatures, and a wizard who wants to mess with your work. The object for the player is to find the way out of the maze and rescue the Commander.

On the planet of Cybertron, the Transformer war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons rages on. But the losses are mounting up, and the war's front has been pushed into the heart of Autobot territory. The Autobots’ last stand takes a turn for the worse when the Decepticons introduce their secret weapon: the new Decepticlone army.

These add-ons include offensive weapons such as Missile Launchers, Limpet Mines, a Tractor Beam, Electric Arc Guns, Ribbon Beams, etc.; defensive abilitles such as Shields, Armours and Recharges; and Abilities such as Glide Wings, Boost Jumps, and Dashes.
