If you are a fan of golf, real golf; Links is, without a doubt the game to get. The realism is there, the physics are there, the game is a true simulation. I am very disappointed by the review given on Gamespot. They were way off on this one. Tiger Woods is fun, especially for the casual gamer who knows nothing about the difficulties of actually playing golf. But for a true simulation, it's not even close. The graphics are not as bright, but more realistic in Links. True, there isn't a lot of flash to the game, but again, if you play real golf, you will not have heavy metal bands and rappers dancing across the green either. Get this game, you won't be sorry.
