Reception

World Invitational was the best-selling Vita game in Japan at launch time. Critics have praised the game, with PlayStation LifeStyle calling it, "an outstanding game, bursting with fun, and enjoyable by gamers of all demographics" in its 8/10 review. Simon Parkin of Eurogamer scored it 7/10 and said "Everybody's Golf will never stand centre stage in the Vita's launch line-up. But in truth, it's one of the strongest launch titles, offering taut fun and challenge in a rapid-fire, quick-load manner that's perfectly suited to the handheld." Metro.co.uk awarded it 7/10, saying, "this amiable golf sim is another excellent showcase for the PS Vita."
