  1. Superb. The game has more than enough features for a golfer to keep interest in this game without ever playing on the internet.

    A killer offering of the normal. It fails to do a lot, leaving the genre's wish list neglected, but it does do enough.
  3. The ball physics, course modeling, new swing type, and huge number of options make this a must buy for Links fans.
  4. The new courses are fun the first few times but that’s about all you can take away from this release.

    Links remains the undisputed heavyweight champion of the golf genre in PC Gaming. Nothing else comes close and now with additional soundtrack, you cannot help but become fully involved in this great game. Expand

    Links is dead, long live Tiger Woods! I used to love this series, but the lack of stability (esp. with newer drivers), the static and plain backgrounds and the average sound make this a mediocre game at best. The new swing is great, but guess what--Tiger Woods has had it for years! Expand
