Links LS 2000 What a great time for a golf game to be released! Fall is here and winter is on its way. Golfers may not be on the courses in your town but they will be on Links LS 2000! The Features
Installation & Settings Installation of Links LS 2000 is a breeze with Autoplay, which gives you the following options:
During Installation, you can choose not to install some files to conserve disk space. Full installation requires 722MB. Once the game is installed, you have many options. You can get a game started immediately or you can customize your game to your liking. The options menu gives you these options:
There is also a menu bar along the bottom of the screen that consists of the following:
Gameplay The Gameplay in Links LS 2000 is so much like the real thing you would think you were on the course. When I first started the game I wanted to hop right in and see what it had to offer. I played a nice round of 18 holes in Hawaii and I was pathetic (you don’t have to be the best golfer to enjoy this game). The putting is so realistic, you want to break your club as the computer player does it for you! The slopes and speed on the putts are very accurate. There are 4 different swing types in the game:
Owners of old course add-ons from Links 99 will be happy to hear that all courses will be compatible with Links LS 2000. Gameplay can be hard or easy. It is up to the player. You can change the settings to your liking. Warning: Frustration on these courses is as much as in real life! Graphics The graphics are very realistic. From the crowd that stands around you, to the grandstands and camera towers that loom around the course, you get a clear very distinct picture of what it is like to actually golf in real-life. Access really out did it with the quality of the graphics used in this program. The golfers you can choose from look very authentic and the real life players look almost exactly like the real thing! Sound The sounds are very real in Links LS 2000. As if you were playing in a real gold tournament, you can hear cheering and booing coming from the crowd. Plus, the commentators always have choice words for your shot. The sounds do give you the feel of playing with someone in real-life. The sounds also include normal everyday sounds, such as planes and animals, etc. Even though this is only a golf game, Links LS 2000 maximizes the realism you could possibly get with the sound environment.Screenshots
Final Comments
Links LS 2000 continues the Links series of golf games by Access well. It is as close to the real thing as you could get on today’s gaming technology. By far, it trumps all other golf games out on the market. I really like to golf so the games came easy to me. However, with the menus, tutorials and improved interface even if you weren’t a big golfer you would enjoy the game. The ability to play this game online (MSN Gaming Zone) makes playing the game all the more exciting! I really like this game and all the choices that it gives you – although somewhat overwhelming at first! The plethora of courses and different golfers is amazing as well. I’d recommend purchasing Links LS 2000! Well, back to the game – Four!
